Paris Olympic 2024: Sex is back in City of Love, 3 lakh condoms to be distributed in Game Village
Olympic Village, said the organizers of the 2024 Paris Games plan to provide 300,000 condoms to 14,250 residents staying in their quarters. “We are aiming to have 300,000 condoms here at the disposal of the athletes in the village. It’s a quantity that makes sure that everybody will have what they’re expecting and what they need," Michaud told Sky News.
“We wanted to create some places where the athletes would feel very enthusiastic and comfortable, so they can have some conversations, discussions, and to share their core values about sport," he added. This reverses the Olympic policy that was set in 2020. Even though condoms were distributed at the Tokyo Games, athletes were prohibited from having intimate relationships because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In order to prevent the outbreak of the deadly disease, the residents of the Tokyo Olympic Village were advised to avoid sexual relations and to keep a six-and-a-half-foot gap between them, reported the People. Michaud said the athletes will have to wait until they’ve left the Olympic Village to enjoy all the champagne France has to offer. “We have made a village club also, with a lounge, with a sports bar with Coca-Cola, no alcohol of course over there, but it’s going to be a great place, so they can actually share their moment and the environment here," he said.
“No champagne in the village, of course, but they can have all the champagne they want in Paris. Washington Post reported that the practice of handing out condoms at the Olympics is not new. About 8,500 condoms were handed out during the 1988 Seoul Olympics to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS.
