Story summary

The Milan Olympic Village for the 2026 Games will include small rooms, such as the twin-bed unit used by Canadian speedskating coach Remmelt Eldering, who at 6-foot-7 finds the bed cramped but appreciates the en suite bathroom and storage.
After the Games, the village will be transformed into student housing.
