Paris Olympics: Ariarne Titmus slams conditions in Paris Olympic village

Australia's queen of the pool Ariarne Titmus has unleashed on the 'ridiculous' conditions inside the Olympic Village, Report informs referring to Daily Mail.

The triple gold medalist is among a host of current and present Aussie athletes who have weighed in on the 'eco friendly' accommodation arrangements in Paris, which include polythene mattresses and beds made from cardboard.

Titmus didn't hold back when asked if she was disappointed not to break her world record when she claimed back-to-back gold medals in the 400m freestyle on Saturday night, despite smashing the Olympic record.

'It probably wasn't the time I thought I was capable of, but living in the Olympic Village makes it hard to perform,' she admitted in an interview on Sunday.

'It's definitely not made for high performance, so it's about who can really keep it together in the mind.'

Her comments sparked an angry response from Australian Swimming head coach Rohan Taylor.

He has since reminded the swimmers that they they should not let anything, distract them from their performance, including conditions in the Olympic Village.
