US diver Abby Johnston: Worst thing about Olympic village is no Pokemon

Pokemon-Go

We have already heard plenty of horror stories about the athlete’s village in Rio that include clogged toilets and unfinished construction, but it gets even worse for Olympians who are fans of Pokemon.

U.S. Olympic diver Abby Johnston has had a chance to scope out the Olympic Village, and she doesn’t think the living conditions are bad at all. She is, however, upset about the lack of “Pokemon Go” coverage.

Want to know the worst thing about the Olympic village? No @PokemonGoApp. Otherwise, it's incredible.

The Australian Olympic Committee has already deemed its section of athlete’s village uninhabitable, prompting the mayor of Rio to crack a pretty lame joke. But, come on, no Pokemon?! What are the athletes supposed to do in their free time? Perhaps they will dip into that massive shipment of condoms more than we originally thought.
