1. Australia

The Aussies were one of the first delegations to make it to Rio, and so they were the first to see the village. Their complaints included blocked toilets (ugh), leaking toilets and exposed wiring. But good news! They’re moving into the village on Wednesday as their concerns have been addressed.

2. Belarus

According to the Belarussian Olympic Committee, the showers were filthy, the sewage system only sometimes worked, as well as the temperature controls on water.
