Australian gold medal-winning swimmer Ariarne Titmus was on cloud nine when she arrived home an Olympic hero this week.
The 23-year-old, who won gold in the Paris pool in the 400m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay, had a lot to say about her time in Paris, most notably about her time inside the Olympic village.
Ariarne Titmus admitted the Olympic Village isn’t “as glamorous as people think” during an appearance on “The Project.”
She went on to describe the nasty living conditions inside the Olympic Village, and she did not mince a single word.
Ariarne Titmus spoke about the bed that they slept on, stating, “Our bed sheets got changed after the first night we were there, and then they didn’t get changed for the rest of the time we were there, so we were living in filth,” Titmus said, via the New York Post.
The bed sheets not being changed in two weeks is one thing, but things got even worse as the athletes had a short supply of toilet paper.
“We would have to lie about how many roommates we had so we could scab toilet rolls,” she continued. “We’d run out of toilet roll, and then they’d only give us one for four days.”
Ariarne Titmus was certainly not a fan of coffee in Europe, as her best cup wouldn’t come until she left.
“The cup of coffee I had on the plane home was better than any coffee I had in Europe the entire time,” she added.
Titmus got lucky she wasn’t subjected to laying down on the cardboard beds, revealing, “I was very lucky, Tempur gave me a mattress. The mattresses that were there were like fishing wire all tangled up, and they were in three seconds, three parts that went together. So they weren’t even one big mattress!”
Titmus biggest moment in Paris was when she beat great American rival Katie Ledecky in the 400m freestyle.
Ariarne Titmus Gave Details On The ‘Inappropriate’ Messages She’s Received After Paris Olympics
As Ariarne Titmus found out, being famous and seen by billions of people at once is not all that it is cracked up to be.
The Australian swimming champion is finally back home from Paris and spilling the beans on the ‘weird’ and ‘inappropriate’ messages she has received on social media.
Speaking on Nova 96.9’s ‘Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie’ on Thursday, she was asked about the messages she has received.
“I haven’t gone through many of them, but when I logged back on, it was just like a notification bubble for every single notification – 100, 100, 100, just flashing. I’ve gone through a few of the DMs and there’s been some real wild ones.”
When asked if there were any proposals she said: “No, but some of them make me think to myself ‘what makes you think you could you write that to someone? [They are] inappropriate, but I got some good giggles. But I think geez, you’re an odd cat.”
