Sleeping on the ground isn’t ideal, but it’s better than a cardboard bed.
That, at least, appeared to be the logic of Olympic gold medalist Thomas Ceccon, who was spotted sleeping in a park inside the Olympic Village.
Saudi rower Husein Alireza posted a photo of Ceccon fast asleep on a white towel under a tree on Saturday, tagging the location as inside the Olympic Village.
The Italian swimmer, who won gold in the 100-meter backstroke, had already complained publicly about the accommodations in the Olympic Village, which have been panned throughout the Paris Games, after failing to reach the 200-meter backstroke final on Wednesday.

“There is no air conditioning in the village, it’s hot, the food is bad,” Ceccon said, per The Sun. “Many athletes move for this reason: it’s not an alibi or an excuse, it’s the reality of what perhaps not everybody knows.
