The horizon cleared a little for Australia's Olympics team on Monday, with some athletes expected to be able to move into their village on Wednesday. 
It emerged on Sunday that Australia's rooms in the village were unfit to live in because of leaks, missing fittings and other shortcomings. Chef de mission Kitty Chiller said fire safety tests and plumbing would continue through Monday, and a team of cleaners was ready to move in. By Tuesday, 56 Australian competitors will be in Rio, awaiting rooms.
"We will stick to our plan of not allowing athletes in for the next two days." Chiller said. "I have already contacted those sports and advised them that their plans have changed and I don't want to disrupt them again. We also want to observe the impact, if any, of plumbing on the arrival of athletes into the village over the next three days.
"In our minds, our building is not habitable and not conducive to the performance-focused environment we are trying to create.
"Other nations are in different situations and some are comfortable for their athletes to arrive. I envy them."
