Paris Olympics 2024: Athletes Given Green Light for Intimacy with 300,000 Condoms Available
The intimacy ban for Olympic athletes has been lifted for the Paris Games as organisers have made 300,000 condoms available in the village. The French capital will welcome 9,000 athletes in the summer – with the Games getting underway on July 26 and concluding on August 11.
300,000 Condoms Offered to Athletes in the Olympic Village
Three years ago in Tokyo, the coronavirus pandemic led to an intimacy ban among athletes as social distancing orders were enforced by the International Olympic Committee. But Sky News have now revealed athletes will not have to adhere to those regulations in Paris. And to encourage safe sex, 300,000 condoms will be made available in the Olympic village. This is enough for each athlete to have two per day throughout the Games.
Innovative Cardboard Bed Frames in the Village
In a break from convention, the bed frames athletes will sleep on are made out of cardboard. However, they can support up to 250kg – meaning it will be able to withstand more than one person. The Olympic village, which spans the size of 70 football pitches and has cost £1.7billion, will also contain a huge buffet of food totalling “350 metres”, Michaud has confirmed.
Unique Experiences in the Olympic Village
Former England international footballer Micah Richards, who represented Team GB at London 2012, spoke honestly last month about the antics in the village. He shared stories about the variety of food available, interactions with other athletes including Kobe Bryant, and the dynamic atmosphere within the village. Paris is hosting its third Summer Olympic Games having previously welcomed the event in 1900 and 1924.
Return to Normality at Paris Games
The Paris Games in 2024 will see a return to normality following the pandemic era in Tokyo. The Games will get underway on July 26 and run until August 11, promising an exciting and unforgettable experience for athletes and spectators alike. It is only the second city to host three Summer Olympics after London, with Los Angeles set to host its third in 2028.
