Kerron Clement has become one of the first high-profile athletes to bemoan their first impression of London after his bus was "lost on the road for four hours" whilst attempting to locate the Olympic Village.
Clement, an Olympic gold medalist in the 4x400 at the 2008 Beijing Games, admitted on Twitter it was "not a first good impression" of the city before adding: "Could we get to the Olympic Village please."
Athletes have begun arriving in the capital, but Clement already appears to have acted unwittingly vigilant in displaying his reservations about the organisation.
Maybe next time he'll not be so miserly and shell out for a black cab?
