Ah, the Summer Olympics. Every four years, Americans from all walks of life get to view the most prestigious athletes from the country absolutely *obliterate* other teams from around the world in gymnastics, swimming, rowing, and beyond.

The six dining areas across the village offer a range of cuisine from different corners of the globe ranging from dumplings and curries to breakfast sausage and an array of fresh French pastries and coffee. Plus, have you seen that viral double chocolate chip muffin? I get why Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen is obsessed with it. While some aspects of the dining options are a win, many complaints have arisen. Here's what the athletes are saying the Paris 2024 Olympic Village food problems.

That means there’s a 1 percent chance your dish was handled by a giant of French gastronomy. Or a...
