[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A video showing water pouring from the ceiling of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics athletes' village was released and then deleted shortly after.

On the 10th (local time), Finnish ski athlete Katri Lylynper? posted a video on her Instagram showing the interior of the Chinese Zhangjiakou athletes' village.

The video captured water pouring from the ceiling through gaps between lights and sprinklers. The floor was already flooded, and someone was seen seemingly sweeping the water away with a broom nearby.

Earlier, Lylynper? had filmed water dripping from the ceiling lights of the athletes' village two weeks prior, posting on social media that "it is raining every day." Two weeks ago was before the official opening of the Olympics, when athletes were moving into the village to prepare for the competition.

The video has since been deleted. However, it had already spread through social media via videos and photos.

Some netizens have raised suspicions regarding the deletion of the video. They claim that the Chinese side deliberately removed the post to hide the poor condition of the athletes' village facilities.

One netizen shared the video, stating, "The water pipe in the athletes' village burst, and China's first solution was to send someone to delete the video."
