Team boss Ian Chesterman says rooms were left in an ‘unacceptable’ state, saying ‘some young people made a mistake’
Some Australian athletes have apologised after leaving their rooms in the Olympic village in an “unacceptable condition”, while the team’s mascots mysteriously disappeared for several days.
Australia’s chef de mission in Tokyo, Ian Chesterman, said on Tuesday that team members had damaged beds and put a hole in a wall, but he said no disciplinary action will be taken, putting it down to youthful exuberance.
