The Winter Olympians who have signed up to stay in Cortina d'Ampezzo's Athletes Village should not expect luxury accommodations or a cozy fire to snuggle up next to after a long day on the mountain.
The temporary Village that will house up to 1,400 athletes and other team members during the Feb. 6-22 Milan Cortina Games consists of 377 rented mobile homes arranged in close proximity to one another on a humid valley floor.
