"During the 2024 Paris Olympics, organizers provided 300,000 condoms to cover 10,500 athletes over the 19-day affair. That comes out to 30 skins per athlete! While officials in Milan were more conservative with their condom-to-athlete ratio, they still wanted to ensure everyone is well protected. They ordered 10,000 condoms for the 2,800 athletes competing in the Winter Games. After just three days, the supply ran out."
"Thankfully, organizers have replenished the stash, ordering 5,000 more. But are athletes in the Olympic Village really getting that busy behind closed doors, or is there another gripping explanation for the shortage? The truth about Olympic condoms First provided at the 1988 Seoul Games, condoms are nearly as synonymous with the Olympics as the rings themselves. They are a rubber token, embroidered with the host city's logo."
Organizers supplied 300,000 condoms at the 2024 Paris Olympics, averaging 30 condoms per athlete over 19 days. Milan ordered 10,000 condoms for 2,800 Winter Games athletes, but the supply ran out after three days and 5,000 more were ordered. Condoms have been provided since the 1988 Seoul Games and often feature host-city logos. The packages are popular souvenirs and are sometimes collected by athletes and visitors. Viral social media posts and anecdotes, such as a figure skater showing condom displays and Adam Rippon admitting he took many in 2018, illustrate high demand beyond sexual activity.
