"The fun continues: I went to bed early after a long flight and slept very poorly all night. I thought I was being bitten by mosquitoes. It turned out that I was being bitten by bedbugs," said Gaponenko in a video on Instagram, showing the bed that was infested with bedbugs. "After I reported the discovery of bedbugs in my bed, I was moved to another room. As compensation for our entire team, both male and female members, staff, and doctors, we were given free access to the hotel spa until the end of the competition," Gaponenko stated. According to Gaponenko, the athletes haven't had time to go there yet, but they will definitely visit the spa after the competition. Gaponenko noted that he was very surprised by everything that happened to him. "It seems that this is Hilton, a high-end hotel chain, and I was the only one in the room with bedbugs. Moreover, I didn't just have one bedbug in my bed, but a whole swarm of them," the coach added.
