2024 Paris Olympics hands out thousands of condoms — and everyone loves the adorable package
NY Post
All athletes need protection.
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris officially kicks off on Friday, July 26, and the athletes in the Olympic Village will be provided with a place to sleep, food and, of course, condoms.
As the 14,500 athletes and staff begin to arrive in the City of Love, room tours are popping up on social media, showing off the infamous anti-sex beds and a huge supply of Olympic-branded condoms in every room.
The bright and colorful condoms given to the athletes have images of the official mascots of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics, the Phryges, and have little messages on each packet.
Messages on the condoms include: “On the field of love, play fair. Ask for consent,” “Don’t share more than victory, protect yourself against STDs,” “Score a win: Yes to consent, no to STDs,” and “No need to be a gold medalist to wear it!”
Condoms are usually provided to athletes — even during the unofficial “intimacy ban” of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where organizers ordered 160,000 condoms to be handed out, according to NPR.
