PARIS, July 30 (Reuters) - The Paris 2024 organisers had hoped their innovative self-cooling Olympic Village apartments would make air conditioning redundant, helping them to deliver the greenest Games in history.
But with temperatures sky-rocketing in the French capital, many delegations are taking no chances.
After a downpour during the opening ceremony and a wet weekend, France is now in the middle of a heatwave that pushed the mercury in Paris into the mid-30s degrees Celsius on Tuesday.

At the Olympic Village, air conditioning units have been selling in droves, with richer countries striving to cushion their athletes from the heat while poorer nations struggle to provide the same care.

Expecting elite athletes to stew in a heatwave is crazy.

My AC broke down during the recent East Coast heatwave. I would never wish that feeling on even my worst enemy

The water from underground should be enough.

That’s so European, you could die in some roof appartments in Germany I swear to god. But owners are pretty much like „ when I was young there have been warm days as well“

So is LA going to be charging the Athletes to stay at the village in 2028.

No lie. I grew up in a shotgun house on bricks for like the first 6 or 7 years of life. Hardly anyone had a central AC unit. Most were lucky to have one window unit. I honestly don't know how I managed it.

But when I go to Central America, it takes me back immediately. I think I know which countries really can't live with out, and others might just shrug it off.

Sweating after you take a shower is so defeating

That's the entirety of Europe. No AC, no ice cubes.

That's the entirety of Europe. No AC, no ice cubes.

The summer in the entire UK only lasts for 8-10 days.

Water isn't even free in Europe. They charge you for getting tap water. And people still try to make Europe out to be a magical land compared the US..

Investment goldmine.

USA were the 1st to say they were bringing their own ACs months ago, some others started doing the same later on.
