RIO DE JANEIRO -- Despite a delay of several days, the head of the Australian delegation said she expects her 700 athletes and officials to move into housing at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Wednesday.Australia refused to check in at the Athletes Village when it officially opened on Sunday, complaining about water leaks, gas leaks, electrical faults and filth that delegation head Kitty Chiller said endangered athletes.Its looking like, according to our plan, that we will be able to move everybody in on Wednesday, Chiller said, speaking Monday at Rios Olympic Park.Sidney Levy, the CEO of the Rio organizing committee, told The Associated Press that half of the 31 apartment buildings in the village complex were ready on Monday.The rest will be delivered in the next few days, Levy said, adding that each building might have a few apartments with problems that might take a bit extra to solve.Rio spokesman Mario Andrada said 630 people are working around the clock so the villages 3,600 apartments can be ready on Thursday, barely a week before the Olympics open on Aug. 5.Rio officials said 1,600 people from 115 countries were living in the village on Monday -- including 400 athletes.

It wasnt a slur.She praised the village on a visit a few months ago, and said so on social media. But that was a dry run.We didnt turn on any taps, we didnt flush any toilets then, and we didnt turn the showers on, she said.She said Australia
