The Paris Olympics are about to begin, and the Chinese delegation has arrived at the Olympic Village. Unexpectedly, the delegation encountered a series of "surprises" as soon as they checked in.
According to the on-site bloggers, the appearance of the 8-story building where the Chinese delegation lives is quite distinctive, and the roof of the building is also intimately placed with a red panda and the words "Come on China".
But once you enter the door, the situation is not so wonderful. The first thing that catches your eye is the smell of formaldehyde, followed by the layout of the small, crowded room. What's even more jaw-dropping is that the beds, stools, and even the walls are made from recyclable materials made of cardboard. This series of "environmentally friendly" designs has aroused widespread attention and discussion, and many netizens have called it "too environmentally friendly".
1. The Olympic dream in "Cardboard City".
Look at this "high-end" cardboard bed, I'm afraid it won't fall apart as soon as you turn over! And those cardboard stools, sit on them for fear of accidentally poking your butt.
This is the Olympic Village, it's clearly a cardboard city! Did the France treat the Olympians as paper men? Our athletes are all selected elites, how can they sleep in this kind of "tofu scum" project? Can this thing hold up the muscle weight of our athletes?
Seriously, this "extremely environmentally friendly" approach is really laughable. On the one hand, the use of recyclable materials is indeed eco-friendly and commendable.
But on the other hand, the excessive pursuit of environmental protection at the expense of athletes' comfort is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. Olympians need a good rest environment to adjust and prepare for the competition. If you can't even get a basic quality of sleep, how can you perform at your best?
2. "Sauna Experience" in the "Steamer"
The room temperature of 26 degrees is enough, but when the sun shines, the room is like a steamer. Is this for our athletes to have a "dog day challenge" first? Coupled with the tangy smell of formaldehyde, this is the Olympic Village, it is clearly a large-scale "steamer + smoked bacon" scene!
To be honest, this living environment is really worrying. High temperatures not only affect the quality of rest for athletes, but can also lead to health problems such as dehydration and heat stroke. Not to mention the pungent formaldehyde smell, which may cause damage to the respiratory system if inhaled for a long time. This is not to create a good competition environment for the athletes, but it is like setting up an extra "barrier" for them.
3. The "Squeeze Contest" in "Matchbox"
Look at this room, it's like a matchbox! Nine people were crammed into a room, and there was no place to turn over. Is this an Olympic village or a refugee camp? And if you look at this layout, whoever sleeps on the bed at the door, it's really no privacy at all! This is to let the athletes rest, it is clearly engaging in "human body stacking music"!
Frankly, this overcrowded environment is really troubling. Athletes need plenty of private space to relax and prepare for the competition. But in this environment, not only do they lack the necessary space to move, but they also struggle to guarantee basic privacy. This situation is likely to affect the mental state of the athlete and the performance of the game.
4. The farce of the "toilet war".
Yes, there is no place to sleep, and you have to queue up to go to the toilet? Two small bathrooms serve nine people, isn't this going to make a fuss? Athletes don't have to make an appointment in advance to go to the toilet, right? It's like a "toilet war"! I don't know if there will be one more event in the Olympics in the future: 100-meter toilet flushing!
To be honest, this arrangement really makes people laugh and cry. Inadequate sanitation not only affects the daily life of athletes, but can also lead to hygiene problems. Wouldn't it be ironic if an athlete couldn't wait to go to the toilet and affected their performance?
5. The "environmental illusion" in "formaldehyde smell"
It's just been renovated and let people live in? This smell of formaldehyde, I'm afraid I don't want to give athletes a "gas chamber" experience? What kind of environmental protection is this, it's clearly a "chemical experiment"! If this continues, the athletes will not collectively wear gas masks to compete, right?
Seriously, this situation is really worrying. Harmful substances such as formaldehyde can not only affect the physical condition of athletes, but may also cause symptoms such as dizziness and respiratory discomfort. This is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger for athletes who are about to participate in the competition.
