Coventry Defends Modular Housing at Asian Games
IOC President Kirsty Coventry has publicly defended the modular housing in Nagoya, describing the wooden cabins as 'beautiful' and superior to some traditional villages despite being slightly tighter than those at the Milan-Cortina Winter Games. Her positive assessment contrasts with earlier complaints from some delegations regarding the limited space.
According to GN sports/olympics (en-US), Coventry acknowledged the Nagoya cabins are slightly smaller than those used in Milan-Cortina but emphasized their quietness, effective air conditioning, and superior aesthetic quality compared to traditional athlete villages.
