Valentine’s Day Gifts for Winter Olympians Include Condoms

Winter Olympics organizers have announced a renewed supply of free condoms for athletes, responding to higher-than-anticipated demand, with additional shipments expected by Monday. Approximately 300,000 condoms were supplied for the 2024 Paris Summer Games, yet the initial stock for the Winter Games was much lower. International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams noted that 10,000 condoms had already been used by 2,800 athletes. Alpine skier Mialitiana Clerc remarked on the tradition of taking condoms home as gifts, recalling similar distributions at previous Games.
