LIVE: Athletes Slam 'Worst Ever' Asian Games Accommodation | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

The Asian Games 2026 are facing new questions over athlete accommodation in Nagoya. Two-metre athletes have complained about beds that are too small, while temporary cabins, hotel arrangements and the absence of a traditional athletes’ village have added to the concerns. Rupha Ramani looks at the accommodation problems facing athletes and asks whether the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games are really prepared to give athletes the conditions they need.

Meanwhile, the Ballon d’Or race has become unusually vocal this year, with Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal all making their cases. Mbappe points to his extraordinary goalscoring numbers, Dembele has a Champions League-winning season behind him, while Yamal has La Liga and a World Cup at just 19. Rupha Ramani looks at the rivalry, the social media chatter and the growing tension around the 2026 Ballon d’Or race.

And then there is Sydney Sweeney’s controversial sports betting ad. After female athletes criticised the viral ‘Just Sports’ campaign for sexualising women in sport, Sweeney responded by posting covers, featuring athletes including Serena Williams, Megan Rapinoe and Ronda Rousey. Rupha Ramani looks at why that comparison has sparked another debate over women athletes, bodies, empowerment, advertising and the difference between celebrating an athlete and selling a sports betting campaign.
