Athletes at the Winter Olympics have been promised more condoms after the original supply of 10,000 ran out in record-breaking time.
Free supplies ran out after just three days, one anonymous competitor told La Stampa. In response, the Olympics organising committee confirmed numbers were “temporarily depleted due to higher-than-anticipated demand”, but more would be coming across the Valentine’s Day weekend.
Condoms are traditionally distributed to athletes at every Olympic games, however, in much higher numbers - 300,000 were given away in Paris in 2024.
”I think 10,000 have been used and there are 2,800 athletes - you can go figure,” said Olympic committee spokesman Mark Adams.
