RIO DE JANEIRO — Olympic officials were scrambling and hundreds of handymen, electricians and plumbers were working round the clock Tuesday to fix a multitude of infrastructure problems plaguing the Olympic Village here, as complaints appeared to be more widespread than initially thought.
There were some signs of progress. Members of Australia’s Olympic Committee, which first publicly voiced criticism of the Village’s condition Sunday, said at a news conference Tuesday that they were satisfied with the efforts, and that their athletes would start moving into the village on Tuesday evening.
