Shocking video shows Olympic Village construction still isn't done
Athletes and reporters gathering in Rio de Janiero for the 2016 Olympics have been giving mixed reports about their lodging in the Olympic Village thus far, but on the eve of the Opening Ceremony, construction work in some rooms still isn't complete.
Jamaican news site The Gleaner shared a tour of the block of rooms meant for runners Novlene Williams Mills and Aisha Praught, and the area was covered in debris and construction equipment.

On the bright side, a team official said that the Olympic Village is otherwise "extremely wonderful."
Via The Gleaner:
The Australian Olympic Committee announced that it had deemed the Olympic Village "uninhabitable" for its athletes.
