I think it's a symptom of our uber connected times that we see stories like this. On twitter I'm getting pictures of cramped athlete rooms, missing curtain rods and sub par bathrooms.
But if you read Ron MacLean's book* he talks about some of the same things when he attended the Olympics in Seoul Korea, so I really think this year we're just seeing/reading things that wouldn't normally be reported on or broadcast.
*Sidebar, I don't recommend Ron's book. He comes across as a pretty dry/boring guy.
