No problem, they can get fingered by the Canadians
Doesn’t this happen virtually every year?
Yeah sounds like PR at this point. They probably release this press message every year right when viewership and interest drops when the Olympics is halfway done.
All because of Jimmy fucksalot and his massive cock
he dropped his magnum condom for his magnum dong.
If I was an athlete and there were condoms with Olympic logo branding getting handed out, I would SO hoard them for souvenirs. Can you imagine?
They're in Italy. There are farmacie all over the place. They can get store-brand ones.
Plus they're officially branded, not some knockoff. It would be an amazing gag gift.
gag gift??? Wrong kink, my friend
They’d need quite a lot of them (which they don’t have) but I suppose they could make it work
I don’t see why condom companies aren’t shipping in truckloads for free. You can’t beat that kind of publicity. L
This reads like the startn of Dr Seuss erotica
I found myself in Italy
They said we could have condoms free
All partnered up by two or three
Everyone partook with glee
But now none are left for me
So hearken friends
My luck portends
This story ends
For me unfortunately
I skied directly into a tree
Then rolled the dice in the dormitory
It now burns badly when I pee
I hope my mom is proud of me
I only brought home an STD
You can’t beat
🤔
That's less than 4 per athlete, not sure why they thought that would be enough.
They ended up only having a little over 2 per athlete after Condoms Georg took 4,000 for balloon animals.
While I don't doubt many athletes are being quite active.
I'd also believe it's a joke at this point for them to all take as many as they can no matter if they intend to use them or not.
A few years ago an athlete said in an interview that they are Olympics branded condoms, so he stuffed his backpack full of them
There was an article a few years ago where a few athletes were interviewed anonymously IIRC. It's a fuckfest. You put a lot of people in peak physical shape together, what are you expecting?
Also people who by and large havent been out living wild social lives for quite a while. Laser beam focused on one goal. Once you have competed, one way or another the pressure is off and you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.
You roll initiative onto someone and they pull out one of these bad boys, and I call that a 'power move'.
In France, they gave 300k condoms. That's 30x the amount they gave here. And they used them all in France, how long the fuck did they think those 10k would last?
For what it's worth, there are more people at the summer Olympics than the winter ones (~10,500 in Paris and ~2,900 at Milan according to Wikipedia) but still one would think there should at least be 1/4 as much if they're just looking at athlete numbers alone.
10k for 20 days of olympic and for 3k athletes that is 10k * 2 / 20 / 3k = 1/3 of a condom per couple per day, that sounds down right reasonable for a bunch of young, perfectly shaped teenagers constantly in celebration mode.
I wouldn’t want to share a condom with two other couples each day. That’s barbaric. /j
Young, fit and healthy athletes, following intense build up and cumulative training are ready to peak explosively, just about now.
Best souvenir going. But also a lot of young people in peak physical condition. As someone I know commented "everyone is 10/10 from the neck down."
And those people have higher than average testosterone, so they're hornier. Apparently Olympic Village is a small orgy, hence all the condoms.
There are 3000 people there. That's no small orgy.
They're not all shagging at the same time
