normal people

Nah, it's much worse than that... they're young, beautiful people, at the peak of fitness and health, having the best time of their lives yet in serious need of de-stressing due to the competitive nature of the event (yet unable to do drugs and alcohol due to needing to be in top shape and anti-doping regulations), all bunched together in hotels.

Three condoms per person is evidently way too few to contain that.

But they are so horny! How is that not newsworthy? I mean, they are really horny!

At the 2016 Games in Rio a total of 450,000 condoms where distributed among the 11,180 athletes... 10,000 is a joke (even if the Winter Olympics are a 1/3 of the size of the summer)

God damn Italians and their hatred of safe sex.

I don't think they've ever run out quite this quickly before.

Someone should have told me, i would have had a lot more interest in sports.

Just under 3,000 athletes are competing at the Winter Olympics, compared to around 10,500 in the Paris Games two years ago.

Rough estimation says the organizers should’ve provided closer to 100,000 condoms, 10x what they supplied.

In Paris, the beds started breaking.

I thought that didn’t actually happen? Despite reports before the games that the beds were made of cardboard to prevent sex by collapsing under the weight of two people, the organizers denied that was the reason and athletes posted videos during the games showing multiple people jumping on a bed.

The reason for the cardboard was so they could recycle the beds and IIRC it was a Rupert Murdoch tabloid that started the story that it was actually to prevent sex.

Just wash them out. They're pretty durable. They fit right over the little racks in the dishwasher.

I'd jump on my toboggan and zip right out to the local petrol station toilet vending machine with some coins at the ready.
If I don't 'slip and slide' then I don't slip and slide!!!

I read something saying the Paris games had 2 per person per day, while these games had about 10x less

There was an interview with an Olympian who said its not really that much of a hook up time. Its that you only get this one chance to take olympic condoms. So people just grab them as souvenirs. Who wouldn't want to take home an olympic condom?

Also the article mentions they have a logo on them.

I don't know about you but, given the opportunity, I'd bring home Olympic condoms as a souvenir whether I used any or not.

Stress also tends to make people want to get it. I used to go to a very nerdy week long event (feel free to guess, but I'm just going to laugh at all the things suggested, and never confirm) in college and there was a ton of hooking up there.

There’s a winter volleyball team?

yeah I mean every time you come you need to throw a new one on.

I'm sure condoms can be tough to get in some countries due to availability or even cultural norms

I mean power outages have also led to higher birthrates 9 months later

They could probably share. They aren’t ALL fucking at the same time. Take turns!

I don’t think they are getting furniture out of the deal, just sex.
