Here's a great one to start:

Just when you think Australia's build-up to the Rio Olympics couldn't get any worse.

The Australian team's Olympic village base has been robbed overnight, while four members of the women's water polo team have been struck down with a gastro-intestinal illness.

The events add to a horror run for the Aussie team who last week withdrew their athletes from the Olympic village due to sub-standard construction and maintenance. The team has moved back in since.

In the break-in overnight, long-sleeved Zika-protective team shirts and a laptop from the cycling team were stolen from the Australian buildings after the team was evacuated due to a small fire in the basement.

"When I arrived midway through evacuation, I saw three fire marshals walking out with our team shirts," Australian team Chef de Mission, Kitty Chiller, told media in Rio.

"I should take back fire marshals—I don't know who they were. They were not team members."

Bizarrely, a number of fire alarms in the Australian complex had been deactivated, meaning some athletes were not evacuated during the fire.
