The Australian Olympic Commission has today decided to delay our team’s move in to the Olympic Village due to unlivable conditions.

The 2016 Games in Rio, Brazil, are just under two weeks away, and this news is just the latest disaster for the city, alongside doping scandals, personal security concerns and the under-preparedness of facilities.

How do all these hardships affect the athletes themselves and who keeps them focused on the task at hand? Or will this year serve up the Olympic Games from Hell?
