Six members of South Korea's swim team also moved out of the village on Saturday, news agency Yonhap reported, citing difficulties in getting to their competition site.

Chong Chang-hoon, president of the Korea Swimming Federation, told reporters that the swimmers preparing for the men's 4x200-meter freestyle relay would move into a hotel within walking distance of the Paris La Defense Arena in Nanterre.

The decision was made after swimmers had complained that the bus used to travel to the arena had no air conditioning, with one calling it like "a sauna."

"It's cooler outside than inside the bus," swimmer Hwang Sun-woo said. "It usually takes about 40 to 45 minutes from the village to the arena, but it took us more than an hour and a half today. Windows were taped probably because they are worried about terrorist attacks. But something has to be done."

Legendary U.S. gymnast Simone Biles is also staying put. "The bed sucks ... BUT we are getting mattress toppers, so hopefully it'll get better," she said in her own comment on the video.
