Ariarne Titmus | Swimmer blames Olympic Village conditions for loss - the link between environment and performance

An Olympic medalist, who won in the 200 and 400-metre freestyle swim, is one of many athletes who have complained about the conditions of the participating athletes' living quarters, including poor food options and cardboard beds.

“It probably wasn't the time I thought I was capable of, but living in the Olympic Village makes it hard to perform,' Ariarne Titmus said in an interview.
