This is a capitalistic scam. They are providing the athletes with an unacceptable free option so they must pay for reasonable accommodations on the local economy.
Its not as much about the sex as its about the sleep quality one doesn't get while sleeping on a tiny, flimsy bed. However the article did a great job with the angle of the story because we're all clicking on it and talking about it.
Yeah, that’s a fair point. Getting better rest than your opponents certainly is a huge advantage, especially on the most important competition of all.
Similarly, what about the diets? Do some athletes bring personal chefs to cook food that they are familiar with? Or maybe bring tupperwares of precooked meals? It’d be extremely disappointing to have your Olympic dreams crumble due to a bad meal (or ten).
