Did Vancouver Olympics feature a king size bed for each athlete?
i dunno about the vancouver olympic village but my sister now owns a townhouse/condo that was used for athletes in whistler.
the condo is nice and has separate bedrooms but the decorations back then were sparse, too.
and she doesn't know which athlete/athletes stayed in her place.
pretty cool tho.
Someone missed out on a marketing idea there...
Regarding the pictures though, I find it funny just thinking about the fact that there are going to be a bunch of NHL players making upwards up 5M per year bunking together in these little rooms with little single beds.
And another funny image is Chara sleeping on one of those beds. I'm 6'4" and I definietly could not fit, so imagine someone who's 6'9"!

The amount of whining coming from journos is already hilarious. My favs are the pieces where these sports reporters get to play real journalists for a day and make bleeding heart stories about local poverty or something.
"Those tigers might be cute now, hockey players, but after a few days of laying in a tiny bed with nothing else but white walls to look at, you're going to start hearing them whisper things at you."
Looks like pretty standard accommodations for the Olympics.
What's the point here?
Look at how weird those crazy Russians are?
I don't see what the big deal is. These millionaires live a coddled lifestyle anyways, so something simpler for two weeks won't kill them.
