In addition to their pre-Olympic training, some athletes in Rio have been struggling to make themselves at home in residences where the electricity doesn't work, the toilets back up, the showers fall apart and the beds are too small.

Several Olympians in the athletes village have been sharing images on social media of their shoddy accommodations. Many of the images show shattered porcelain, drywall dust and plaster in piles in the bathrooms. A few videos even show construction workers still on the job in the hallways, and even in the rooms.

The Australian Olympic team has been one of the more vocal contingents about its accommodations. The team delayed its move-in by a few days while Rio organizers addressed cleanliness and electricity issues in the residence. But the complaints continued after the squad moved in, with several athletes tweeting photos of tiny beds and shoddy showers.

Australian basketball player Andrew Bogut sent out several critical tweets under the hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodging. "At #IOCLuxuryLodging we believe a bed is not vital for sleep. Fine tuned athletes can sleep standing up," he tweeted.

Six-foot-four basketball player Matthew Dellavedova tweeted a photo of himself and roommate Ryan Broekhoff (six-foot five), sitting on their too-small single beds.

Team USA soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo landed herself in some hot water with a few of her tweets, in which she joked about the Zika virus in Brazil. Solo's tweets included a photo of her holding insect repellant and wearing a mosquito-net hat, along with the caption: "Not sharing this!!! Get your own! #zikaproof."

Fans at a soccer match on Wednesday booed Solo for her comments, and chanted "Zika! Zika!" at her during the game.

A few female athletes from Jamaica shared a video of their messy room, through the newspaper Jamaica Gleaner. The video shows a filthy bathroom with a bucket of plaster on the sink, a shower curtain draped over the toilet and a dirty ladder propped up in the shower. Rio employees can be seen still working on the facility in the hallway.

The hundreds of reporters occupying the media village have also shared their residence woes online.

China's state-run Xinhua News Agency tweeted several photos of their reporters' dilapidated rooms, showing a shattered mirror, a wash basin in pieces and a shower curtain rod held up by tape.
