Olympia: Australians devastate rooms and beds - “kidnapped” mascots appear in the German village
The Australian athletes rioted in the Olympic Village before leaving Tokyo and destroyed beds in their rooms.
Holes were punched in the walls, the rooms left desolate.
After the party, two life-size mascots, an emu and a kangaroo, were also missing.
The two mascots have since reappeared, they were found in the German part of the village.
"We hope you enjoyed a great vacation in Germany," said Australia's Chef de Mission, Ian Chesterman.
He asked for understanding that the beds and walls had been damaged.
The beds are made of cardboard, the walls are very thin.
"Some young people made a mistake," said Chesterman.
“It's a book as old as time: A good young person makes a mistake.
Chapter two is: a good young person is full of remorse.
Chapter three is: A good young person learns from a mistake and becomes a better person. ”Because the athletes apologized, there will be no disciplinary action at least from the Australian NOK.
That is not acceptable.
A few people damage the reputation of an entire team that represents us here with pride.

Olympia: Australians celebrate a wild alcohol party on their return flight - vomiting in the toilet on board
But to make matters worse, the celebrations continued on the return flight home last Thursday.
The athletes are said to have drank “excessively” in some cases, and one vomited in the on-board toilet.
“That is not acceptable.
A few people damage the reputation of an entire team that represents us here with pride, ”said Chesterman.
Japan Airlines (JAL) complained in writing to the Australian Olympic Committee about the behavior after the flight to Sydney.
“JAL advised us that team members drank excessively and did not respond to advice from the crew.
They also bothered other passengers, ”said Chesterman.
At least one athlete vomited in the toilet, which remained unusable for the rest of the ten-hour flight. A total of 49 athletes from nine sports were on board, and according to Chesterman, the troublemakers all belonged to the men's rugby * or football * team. Perhaps the rugby and soccer players should take a diver who finds relaxation with an extraordinary hobby as an example.
