RIO DE JANEIRO -- Australias Olympic team leader is keeping the delegations 700 athletes or staff out of the Athletes Village for at least two days, citing electrical and plumbing problems in the sprawling complex less than two weeks before the start of the games in Rio de Janeiro.Electricity and water is not a good combination, Kitty Chiller told reporters Sunday, when the village was set to be officially opened for athletes.Chiller said this was her fifth Olympics, and she came down hard on village preparations.I have never experienced a village in this state -- or lack of state -- of readiness at this point in time, she said.The 31-building village is expected to house 18,000 athletes and officials at the height of the games. It was not clear how many athletes were housed in the village on Sunday.This is the latest problem for the games, which have been hit by concern about the Zika virus, security threats, water pollution and severe budget cuts.Chiller and Australian team spokesman Mike Tancred described a wide array of plumbing, electrical and cleaning issues at the Village. Tancred said 10 of the 31 buildings were determined to be inhabitable.Were having plumbing problems, weve got leaking pipes, Tancred told AP. Weve got electrical problems. Weve got cleaning problems. Weve got lighting problems in some of the stairwells. We did a stress test on Saturday, turned on the taps and flushed the toilets, and water came flooding down the walls.Chiller listed the same problems, and added more.There was a strong smell of gas in some apartments and there was shorting in the electrical wiring, she said. We have been living in nearby hotels because the village is simply not safe or ready.Chiller said six Australian athletes due to arrive Monday and 50 on Tuesday would temporarily stay in hotels or other accommodation. She said she hopes they can move into the village quickly, and sounded encouraged.I am reasonably confident that we will be able enter the village on Wednesday, she said.She described other amenities in the village as among the best.This is one of the most beautiful villages Ive ever been in, she said. It looks spectacular. There are just teething issues in some of the service inside the building.Several teams are hiring tradesmen to fix the problems, and some may look for compensation from organizers.Italian team leader Carlo Mornati said his national Olympic committee, CONI, had been hiring workmen to carry out repairs for days.Among these unfinished areas are also a few apartments in block 20, the one to be used by Italy, and where manual workers, electricians, plumbers and bricklayers -- hired by CONI officials there as a matter of urgency -- have been working over the past few days so that the athletes accommodation can be brought up to normal conditions as soon as possible, he said in a statement.The U.S. Olympic Committee acknowledged there were small problems.As is the case with every games, were working with the local organizers to address minor issues and make sure the village is ready for Team USA athletes, spokesman Patrick Sandusky told the AP.The International Olympic Committee and local organizers held emergency talks Sunday and said athletes with unfinished rooms would be placed in the best available accommodation in other buildings, estimating that fixing the problems will take another few days.Local reports said about 5 percent of the 3,600 apartments had gas, water and electrical faults, and some were without toilet fixtures.Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes took a shot at the Australians at the opening on Sunday.This is an incredible village, more beautiful and better than Sydney, he said, referring to the 2000 Olympics in Australia. He said he was tempted to put a kangaroo jumping outside to make them happy.The village contains tennis courts, soccer fields, seven swimming pools with mountains and the sea as a backdrop.The apartments are to be sold after the Olympics with some prices reaching $700,000. The development cost about $1.5 billion, built by Brazilian billionaire Carlos Carvalho.New Zealand team leader Rob Waddell said he was disappointed the village wasnt quite ready and it hasnt been easy.Our team has had to get stuck in to get the job done, Waddell said. Its been fair to say there has been more work than we anticipated with the building ... but weve got it to a space now that it will be just fine for athletes when they turn up.New Zealands Olympic rowing champion Mahe Drysdale, who said he was the first athlete from any country to enter the village, added facilities were in need of a few finishing touches.Already taken ownership of the Village being the very first athlete from any country to arrive and get through the gates, Drysdale said on Instagram. All is good.Few finishing touches still to be made but when you arrive at 5am on opening day, you cant expect it to be perfect. Patrick Patterson Jersey .

Mexican junior middleweight Jesus Soto Karass and Japans Yoshihiro Kamegai are not top contenders and neither is a likely future world title challenger, but they have for years made action-packed fights and developed something of a cult following.So when they squared off on April 15 it came as little surprise that they waged an intense fight of the year contender.The 10-round fight ended in a split draw, making a rematch the most obvious and lucrative fight either could make. And on Thursday it was finalized.Soto Karass and Kamegai will meet again on Sept. 10, but this time, rather than being on a small card at the tiny Belasco Theater in Los Angeles on a Spanish-language cable channel without wide distribution, they will face each other at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on HBO (10 p.m. ET/PT), Golden Boy announced.The 10-round bout will take place as the co-feature on the card headlined by the previously announced fight between pound-for-pound king Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez (45-0, 38 KOs), the flyweight world champion, and junior bantamweight titlist Carlos Cuadras (35-0-1, 27 KOs), as Gonzalez moves up in weight to seek a title in a fourth weight division.If fans thought the first Kamegai and Soto Karass fight was an epic fight of the year contender, let me just say this -- on Sept. 10, both fighters will be coming back in the ring with a vengeance to prove who is the true winner in this rematch, said Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya, who made a deal with Gonzalez co-promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions to put the fight on the card. Both of these fighters are fierce warriorss and the fans can expect to witness what could be the beginning of the next big rivalry in the sport.ddddddddddddThe 33-year-old Kamegai (26-3-2, 23 KOs) has been in some tremendous fights, but the most significant was a 12-round decision loss to former world titleholder Robert Guerrero in June 2014.I am very grateful to K2 Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Teiken Promotions in making this rematch and honored to be on the Roman Gonzalez-Carlos Cuadras undercard at the fabulous Forum, Kamegai said. Jesus Soto Karass and I had a great fight in April. I have a lot of respect for Soto Karass. He is a warrior. I hope to put on another exciting fight with him in front of the great Southern California boxing fans.Soto-Karass, (28-10-4, 18 KOs), who is also 33, has faced several top opponents, losing to Keith Thurman, Devon Alexander and Marcos Maidana but also upsetting Andre Berto and Selcuk Aydin.I am excited to come back to the ring against such a great warrior like Yoshihiro Kamegai, Soto Karass said. We put on a great show in April and I am sure we will deliver another great show in September. We are both great warriors who come forward and are willing to leave it all in the ring. This rematch will serve for one of us to finally emerge victorious, as we give the fans of Los Angeles a fight of a lifetime.The first bout between Kamegai and Soto Karass ended with one judge scoring it 97-93 for Kamegai, one had it 96-94 for Soto-Karass and one had it 95-95.
