After intimacy was banned during the COVID-affected Tokyo Olympics, organisers in Paris will provide 300,000 condoms in the athletes’ village.
Olympic organisers expect sex to make its return in Paris after the 2020 Games in Tokyo were forced to implement an intimacy ban due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We’re going to have 14,250 residents – athletes, personnel, officials – that are coming for these great events and to live an extraordinary experience here. But while sex is in, alcohol is out, with Michaud saying that athletes will have to wait until they’ve left the athletes’ village to enjoy all the champagne France has to offer.“We have made a village club also, with a lounge, with a sports bar with Coca-Cola, no alcohol of course over there, but it’s going to be a great place, so they can actually share their moment and the environment here,” he said.
The 2000 Olympics in Sydney originally ordered just 70,000 condoms, thinking it would be enough, but were proven wrong when they had to order an extra 20,000, while the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City were the first Olympics to crack the 100,000 mark.
