The future athletes village is already under construction near Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympics. In an attempt to save funds, the International Olympic Committee said Tuesday it will consider revising the “level of service” provided at the athletes village, the area set aside for athlete accommodations at the Olympics. Already, the athletes village in 2020 will not be the same as it has been in recent years. Coates did not make clear any other possible cuts the IOC is considering, nor did he give an amount money organizers might save from cuts to the athletes village. “Congratulations to Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028,” IOC President Thomas Bach said last month at the official awarding ceremony.
