The athlete was not simply in bed because of laziness, the competition was early next day. When you spend all your life prepapring for the Olympics you need the best conditions. Going to the ceremony which finished late when your competition starts early the next day is not the best idea.

Many countries had no athlete available, specially considering the ceremony was in two different places. So all the countries had volunteers to at least be present.

What’s the issue of being an african volunteer? Would you have preferred no person at all?
