TENNIS star Daria Saville gave an inside look into the Paris Olympic village – and its lack of toilet roll.
The Australian squad began arriving in the French capital on Monday ahead of the Games.

Loads of freebies were there for the taking
Athletes get free hair cutsSaville gave fans a behind-the-scenes look into the village and revealed there was a lack of toilet paper.
She posted a video on social media of her entering what appears to be a supplies store and asking for loo roll.
Saville, 30, wrote: “We don’t really have hotel-like housekeeping here in the Olympic Village, so you have to get your own toilet paper.”
Things are not all bad as the tennis player shared footage of the on-site beauty salon where athletes can enjoy a free haircut.
There was also a rack of Olay beauty products – all of which are free to take.
Olympians also received a host of freebies, including new shoes, 50,000 Qantas points, luggage and brand-new Samsung smartphones.
But athletes are sleeping in “anti-sex” cardboard beds throughout.
Recyclable beds were first introduced at Tokyo 2020 but athletes were quick to joke they were only meant to support one person – ruling out any romantic encounters.
Paris Olympics with 300k condoms
Nearly 15,000 residents – around 10,500 of which are athletes – will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11.
To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers.
One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games.
A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties.
London 2012 had claimed the title of “the raunchiest Games ever”, but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later.
Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
Even with an intimacy ban at Tokyo 2020 due to Covid-19, some 150,000 johnnies were handed out.

Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan made a short video testing out the durability of the beds.
And he said: “I’m at the Paris Olympic Games and they once again have these cardboard anti-sex beds.
“When I tested them last time they withstood my testing, but maybe I wasn’t rigorous enough.”
