Bogut rips Rio facilities, fixes shower curtain to avoid 'flood'
Add Andrew Bogut to the list of Australians left unimpressed by the lodging facilities in Rio de Janeiro.
The Australian center even started his own ironic hashtag campaign, #IOCLuxuryLodging, to keep his followers updated on the conditions of the Olympic village, which has already caused Australians plenty of headaches since their arrival last week.

"Putting together a shower curtain so we can shower and not flood the place," the Dallas Mavericks' center said in a tweet late Monday night.

Bogut, who recently returned to action Sunday during Australia's win over China after undergoing knee surgery, also highlighted a slight problem with the sleeping situation, but quickly offered his own solution:

"At #IOCLuxuryLodging we believe a bed is not vital for sleep," he said. "Fine tuned athletes can sleep standing up."

While some adjustments and quick-fix solutions were required in his room, Bogut and others shouldn't have a problem with the visual instructions for proper etiquette when going to the washroom.
