"Maybe the beds are a little more firm than I would like them to be but that's nothing that's really inhibiting my rest or my recovery." Canadian springboard diver Caeli McKay tested the stability of the cardboard beds by jumping on them and shared the approved results with fans on Instagram. "There's always a bunch of people in the dining hall, so it's always long lines and once you get to the front of the line, oftentimes there won't be a lot of food left, so you have to keep waiting.
