Andrew Bogut Rio 2016: Aussie NBA star rips Olympic village, team bosses, creates own shower curtain
ANDREW Bogut’s Olympic village lodgings are missing two basic things. His epic rant makes his opinion crystal clear.
MAKE Andrew Bogut grumpy and he will crush you. The Aussie NBA star has just torn Rio and Australian team bosses a new one on Twitter over Olympic village lodgings.
Having already complained about the spartan, tiny share rooms before arriving in Brazil, Bogut took to Twitter on Tuesday for a fresh, extended spray about the athletes’ digs.
Chief on his list of gripes was the lack of a shower curtain, and also the single beds that won’t properly cater for his 213cm frame.
In the OLY village. Upon first looks its only fitting I will be posting pics with the hashtag #IOCLuxuryLodging #rio2016

At #IOCLuxuryLodging we believe a bed is not vital for sleep. Fine tuned athletes can sleep standing up. https://t.co/FcsEAf33Sm

Bogut also had a crack at Australian Olympic team delegates, who apparently are doing much better in the lodging stakes:

Bogut has been in brutal form ahead of the Olympics, already engaging in a Twitter beef with fellow Australian basketball star Liz Cambage.
.@ecambage would not have guessed better late than never is your mantra! ð¤Know of any music festivals i can skip training for in Rio?

Bogut also had a bit of fun with Brazilian signage on his arrival in Rio.
