Love in a cold climate: Winter Olympic village runs out of condoms after three days

Free condoms for competitors at the Winter Olympics have run out within a record-breaking three days, according to La Stampa.

“The supplies ran out in just three days,” an anonymous athlete told the Italian newspaper. “They promised us more will arrive, but who knows when.”

It blamed the Olympic organisers, saying they had not been “particularly generous with the numbers”. “In Paris the athletes received 300,000 condoms — two per day each— but the numbers for these Winter Games were significantly lower: not even 10,000,” La Stampa’s report states.

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

A new batch of super athletic kids should be expected in about nine months.

Unlike the summer Olympics, do they need to be thawed out before using?

The athletes should have brought their own.

This is a main story of the winter olympics in 2026...

Libs think this is “progress”.

And ok, from a different context, the men and women all know its a sex romp they look forward to, and yet, even as adults, don’t bring their own protection...like its that hard to do, or that costly...

They dont even see how this comes across, no one can read the room anymore.

Just like the church camps I went to....

[know.your.why]

...Olympic officials. Social climbing and snobbery off the charts.

I suspect that not much has changed in that "arena" since the ancient Olympic Games in the mid-2nd century B.C.

Wasn’t it last summer Olympics they designs disposable cardboard beds that were “sex proof?”

As if youn fit athletes can’t figure it out on the floor? Or standing, or walking, or....

“Love” in quotation marks.

Pathetic that people are this promiscuous.

Like this is different than the “Villages”?
