"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. Last week the governor of the Lombardy region, Attilio Fontana, insisted the topic should not be a cause of embarrassment."
Free condoms provided to athletes at the Winter Olympics ran out within three days. Supplies numbered under 10,000, far fewer than the 300,000 distributed in Paris where athletes received two condoms per day each. Just under 3,000 athletes are competing at the Winter Games, compared with about 10,500 in Paris. An anonymous athlete reported the shortage and organisers were criticised for not providing generous numbers. The Lombardy governor defended the practice, noting free condoms in the Olympic village date back to Seoul 1988 to promote STI prevention. A viral Instagram clip showed condoms stamped with the Lombardy logo. The village also offers gyms, games and free drinks.
