Olympic Gold Medal Winner Found Sleeping in a Paris Park
The Olympic Village in Paris is taking some serious heat after a gold medalist was found sleeping beside a park bench. You would believe that living in quarters specifically designed to host the best of the best Olympians in the world would be something all of the athletes would be excited about. Instead, gold medalist Thomas Ceccon has had some harsh words about the conditions he was living in at the village. Ceccon complained about his environment; even though he went on to pick up two medals this week. Calling it ‘subpar’, the Italian swimmer must have decided that sleeping outdoors was far better conditions than a place with a cardboard bed and had a quick nap on the ground. In a picture taken of him, you can see a white towel spread out on the grass under a tree and next to a bench with the swimmer curled up asleep. It was a Saudi rower called Husein Alireza who caught Ceccom napping and posted it on his Instagram account, tagging the location as the Olympic Village grounds.
