Olympic swimmer Thomas Ceccon was photographed taking a nap outside his room in the Olympic village
Olympic athlete Husein Alireza, who captured Italian swimmer Thomas Ceccon napping outside his designated room, is sharing new details about the viral photo.
Just one day earlier, Alireza, 30, went on social media after photographing Ceccon, 23, seemingly napping next to a bench. “Rest today, conquer tomorrow,” he wrote via his Instagram Story on Sunday, August 5. The viral photo comes after Ceccon expressed discomfort at the Olympic Village, which is where thousands of athletes live during the Games.“There is no air conditioning in the village. It’s hot. The food is bad,” he said. “Many athletes move for this reason: it’s not an alibi or excuse, it’s the reality of what perhaps not everyone knows.”
Ceccon has still found success during the Paris Olympics. The swimmer won gold in the men’s 100-meter backstroke. He also earned a bronze medal after competing in the men’s 4x100-meter freestyle race.
