The intimacy ban that had been in place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has been lifted for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the Olympic village, where the athletes stay during the event, will be stocked with 300,000 condoms, Laurent Michaud, director of the village, told Sky News.
In an interview about the upcoming games, which will be held in the French capital from July 26 to Aug. 11, Michaud said they are preparing for 14,250 residents at the village and are aiming to have 300,000 condoms for the athletes.
Rules on intimacy went into effect for the 2020 Olympics that were held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To help prevent the virus from spreading, athletes were asked to limit their physical contact with each other, keeping about six and a half feet between them, except when necessary, like on the field.
Providing condoms at the Olympics has been a tradition since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, as an effort to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS, according to CBS Sports. In Tokyo, officials still handed out 150,000 condoms – even though the intimacy rules prevented any scenarios to use them.
It took France this long to realize that people fuck a lot?
Do you people downvoting me not realize that France is like Fuck Central?
The issue was not COVID. They may have claimed it was COVID, but that’s ridiculous. People were going to fuck their brains out regardless because A) it’s the Olympics and that’s what always happens and B) it’s in Paris. Condoms should have been distributed in Tokyo too.
I’m thinking about the tier list.
“Sprinter? No lol. No thanks.”
I’d have to guess there are socioeconomic groupings as well. The rowers probably have the upper hand there, along with anything involving firearms or horses.
Honestly, it was a guess, based less on US socioeconomics, and more globally. In a lot of countries, shooting involves a lot of red tape that’s easier to wade through with a boatload of money.
Oh… I misread your comment and thought you were ranking them based on sexual performance based on their sport.
Like, rowers have great thighs and arms, so they’re strong. Horse riders know how to… Ride. But you wouldn’t want sprinters because their goal is to finish the quickest.
But then I was wondering what would make a shooter so good in bed.
Anyway, the way I read your comment gave me a good chuckle. “The Olympian Sexual Performance Tier List.”
Those are all expired!!! Conspiracy to create superior athletic humans?
Yes. It was started by the Nazis at their Olympics, when they sought to breed out some supersoldiers. All the major powers agreed and it has been an unofficial rule ever since.
Edit: Ok, actually I’m lying. It was started by the Greco-Roman Olympics, when they sought to breed out some demigods. All the major powers agreed and so Asterix and Obelix were born.
Olympics in old Greece were only men, all naked no? How would that work out haha
This is so French.
How do they even enforce a sex ban in the first place? Do they have drug test equivalents for sexual activity now? I hope it never gets to a point where most employers are firing people for having too much sex while off duty.
Presumably they were quarantining the participants between matches because of COVID. There is a difference between making sure the world’s best athletes don’t contract a disease that affects their respiratory functions and work places preventing sex.
