Accredited pedestrians walk past a container full of garbage at the National Stadium compound of the Pan American Games in Santiago on Monday.
Workers and volunteers at the Pan American Games were still removing bricks, pieces of wood and construction machinery from outside competition venues on Tuesday, the fourth day of the largest multi-sport event in the region.
The volunteers spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists. "I am a bit frustrated. It was hard to get here from downtown, I didn't know where to get the right subway. I didn't know which entry to use here and neither did the first volunteer I found," Cruz told the AP as he ate a hot dog from a food truck at the National Stadium. "In Guadalajara, the food truck was exceptional, there were many places to sit, a lot of variety. Here it is small, few seats, too.
Local media reported last week that that leaks at the athletes village forced members of several members of the United States, Brazil and Argentina delegations to momentarily move into a hotel.Some of the problems found by athletes in recent days were expected long before the games. Colombian diver Mariana Osorio said the distance between the athletes village and the aquatics center was excessive.
