The Olympic Village, where athletes competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics will stay, won’t have air conditioning. The decision not to install AC was an effort by organizers to have the “greenest ever Games.”
Instead of AC, a system of water pipes running beneath the floorboards at the athlete’s residence will be used to cool rooms to temperatures ranging from 73 to 79 degrees. Fans will be provided by the Paris Olympic committee, but many countries, including the United States, will be providing portable AC units to their athletes.
Speaking of Team USA, Krispy Kreme just dropped a new line of doughnuts for the 4th of July. Click HERE to get the details.
