the Athletes' Village will be cooled by a system of water pipes running beneath the floorboards.

Cool, like underfloor heating but in reverse. If it works well, of course.

Officials aim to keep the rooms at between 73 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit

Nice 26c is fine.

Officials ... will also provide fans.

oh, so it doesn't work...

79f is not exactly chilly, circulating air makes it feel more comfortable.

It's not exactly hot either though, after being in 35+c sun, it's pretty chill.

For reference, my aircon is set to 27c in summer (still comfortable, but cost effective) and 18c in winter (WHO minimum recommended house temp, any less is a health hazard - also for cost effectiveness - electricity is expensive)

I hear you, but 79 is "hot" if you are used to be in 70 degree ac. They will get used to it of course but athletes don't want to have to get used to it.
