Coco Gauff reveals why her entire team LEFT the Olympic Village for a hotel



Coco Gauff revealed that she is the only member of the US women’s tennis team still in the Olympic Village after her teammates fled to a hotel.

The 20-year-old posted a candid TikTok video on Saturday in which he revealed the very close to rooms, including 10 women who shared only two bathrooms.

The chaotic clip showed several members of Team USA doing their hair, makeup and outfits in preparation for the first day of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

“10 girls, two bathrooms #olympicvillage,” she captioned the post, which generated a lot of comments about how cramped the space seemed.

“I moved to a hotel,” one fan wrote under the clip, to which she responded, “All the tennis girls moved to a hotel except me. So now there’s only 5 girls with two bathrooms.”

However, Gauff said she is enjoying the village, which will host thousands of participants from all over the world for the next two weeks.

“Well, it’s only 5 girls now, so I have the room to myself. The roommates are very relaxed. I love it,” she explained.

Another fan was concerned about her comfort after it was revealed the athletes would be sleeping on cardboard beds.

“The archery team lent me a mattress topper,” she wrote.

Daniel Smith, director of the Team USA Olympic Village, previously told People that athletes can choose for themselves whether or not they want to remain in the Village.

Many famous athletes, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry of the men’s basketball team, stay outside the stadium in luxury accommodations.

“If a sports organization decides not to stay in (the village), they have to make their own arrangements for accommodation and draw up their own hotel contracts,” Smith said earlier this week.

“One challenge is that at that point you are actually outside the bubble and Paris 2024 does not arrange transportation from your specific hotel,” he added.

‘All meals, all extras that athletes get in the village, that you don’t take with you, are on your own account.’

It comes a day after Gauff stood alongside LeBron James as one of two American flag bearers during the opening ceremony.

“I never imagined I would have the honor of carrying the American flag for Team USA during the Opening Ceremony,” the Grand Slam winner said in a statement.

“I’m extremely proud to be able to lead my teammates alongside LeBron and demonstrate our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is.”
