Love in a cold climate: Winter Olympic village runs out of condoms after three days
The Guardian ^ | February 13, 2026

Posted on 02/13/2026 7:32:02 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

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.

The Olympic-condom story is mandatory every 2 years. It was written many years ago. You just have to replace a couple of names and places.

With the diseases out there now, they are probably doubling up on the protection, which means they are blowing through them at a furious rate!

Years ago, I would just think of male & female athletes pairing up.

Now?

There used to be an effort to make Olympic athletes as heroes, or worthy of admiration. Now, every single Olympics has a mandatory discussion of their whore status and depravity complete with how many condoms they are provided.

The Enshitification of everything continues.
