The intimacy ban that had been in place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has been lifted for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the Olympic village, where the athletes stay during the event, will be stocked with 300,000 condoms, Laurent Michaud, director of the village, told Sky News.
In an interview about the upcoming games, which will be held in the French capital from July 26 to Aug. 11, Michaud said they are preparing for 14,250 residents at the village and are aiming to have 300,000 condoms for the athletes.
Rules on intimacy went into effect for the 2020 Olympics that were held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To help prevent the virus from spreading, athletes were asked to limit their physical contact with each other, keeping about six and a half feet between them, except when necessary, like on the field.
Providing condoms at the Olympics has been a tradition since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, as an effort to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS, according to CBS Sports. In Tokyo, officials still handed out 150,000 condoms – even though the intimacy rules prevented any scenarios to use them.
“14,250 residents…300,000 condoms”.
So, 20 per resident.
From what I’ve read previously, I’m not sure that’s enough.
They run out every Olympics
They’re Olympics branded condoms, people scoop them up as souvenirs.
“Only for Olympians!” sounds like a challenge of my stamina. Challenge accepted, condoms from 2012
Once your event is over you’re just left hanging out with a bunch of young, fit people with nothing else to do who you won’t see for four years. Frankly I’m amazed they don’t have sex rooms for the athletes at the Olympics just to make it easier to clean.
That’s the only OnlyFans I’d be willing to subscribe to.
Those are all expired!!! Conspiracy to create superior athletic humans?
I’m thinking about the tier list.
“Sprinter? No lol. No thanks.”
I’d have to guess there are socioeconomic groupings as well. The rowers probably have the upper hand there, along with anything involving firearms or horses.
Nope. From what I’ve read even olympic athletes consider anyone good enough for the olympics as ‘top tier’. And it only lasts a few weeks
Wait, why firearms?
Honestly, it was a guess, based less on US socioeconomics, and more globally. In a lot of countries, shooting involves a lot of red tape that’s easier to wade through with a boatload of money.
Oh… I misread your comment and thought you were ranking them based on sexual performance based on their sport.
Like, rowers have great thighs and arms, so they’re strong. Horse riders know how to… Ride. But you wouldn’t want sprinters because their goal is to finish the quickest.
But then I was wondering what would make a shooter so good in bed.
Anyway, the way I read your comment gave me a good chuckle. “The Olympian Sexual Performance Tier List.”
Got it.
The idea was a sexual attractiveness tier list, and money plays a role there.
Sprinter? I hard know ‘er.
How do they even enforce a sex ban in the first place? Do they have drug test equivalents for sexual activity now? I hope it never gets to a point where most employers are firing people for having too much sex while off duty.
Presumably they were quarantining the participants between matches because of COVID. There is a difference between making sure the world’s best athletes don’t contract a disease that affects their respiratory functions and work places preventing sex.
It’s on the article, on the summary, on the post text. But you can count on people on the internet to NOT ever read what’s directly in front of them before making or upvoting a dumb comment.
Well I hope they refresh their stock of 2022 expirations…
There was an intimacy ban?
Did anyone tell the athletes?
From what I heard there’s quite a lot of intimacy that was already a well established tradition at the Olympic villages.
considering how many condoms the athletes villages uses with sex bans in place, I doubt this is gonna do much to make a difference, lol.
This ban was in place for one Olympic game, due to covid only. Olympic organizers have distributed condoms since Seoul '88. And they were always free to have as much sex as they wanted ever since the inception of the modern games.
It took France this long to realize that people fuck a lot?
Do you people downvoting me not realize that France is like Fuck Central?
You didn’t read the post at all did you?
The post that said it took them this long to lift the Tokyo ban? I’m pretty sure I did.
the issue was covid not hormones
The issue was not COVID. They may have claimed it was COVID, but that’s ridiculous. People were going to fuck their brains out regardless because A) it’s the Olympics and that’s what always happens and B) it’s in Paris. Condoms should have been distributed in Tokyo too.
Condoms WERE distributed in Tokyo. It’s in that article you said you read.
