Australia are refusing to move their athletes into the Rio Olympic Village because of concerns about the state of their accommodation.
Problems include "blocked toilets, leaking pipes and exposed wiring", according to team boss Kitty Chiller.
Chiller said she had raised concerns with local event organisers and the International Olympic Committee, and was "pushing hard for a solution".
Australian staff are in nearby hotels with the first athletes due on Monday.
Alternative accommodation for team members arriving over the next three days has been arranged.
