According to news from the "Sydney Morning Herald" on the 3rd, Australian rugby and rowing players left a hole in the wall of the Olympic Village room and left vomit in the room, leaving the room in an "unacceptable" state. Although Ian Chesterman, the head of the Australian Tokyo representative team, confirmed the athlete's hole-opening behavior that day, he still defended that leaving a hole in the wall was "easy to do." He also said that no disciplinary action will be taken against individual athletes because they have apologized for their actions.
