Olympic officials issue update on condom supply after athletes ran out in 3 days due to 'higher-than-anticipated demand'

Athletes at the Winter Olympics in Italy have been advised that their supply of condoms will be 'continuously replenished' after they apparently set a new record at the 2026 Milan-Cortina games.

It is, perhaps, unsurprising that putting thousands of ripped young people at the peak of physical fitness in one place leads to a large amount of fornication. This is even something that Olympic organizers often prepare for.

But no amount of preparation could have prepared officials for how quickly the Olympians got through the free condoms, which have been handed out since 1988's Seoul Olympics in an attempt to prevent the spread of STDs among the promiscuous athletes.

"I think 10,000 have been used, 2,800 athletes - you can go figure, as they say," International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said on Saturday, as the shortage became public knowledge.

He added: "It clearly shows that Valentine's Day is in full swing in the village."

This was confirmed by an Olympic official, who added that they would urgently distribute more condoms as the games continue. They said in a statement: “We can confirm that condom supplies in the Olympic Villages were temporarily depleted due to higher-than-anticipated demand.

"Additional supplies are being delivered and will be distributed across all Villages between today [Feb 14] and Monday. They will be continuously replenished until the end of the Games to ensure continued availability.”

But while close to 3000 competitors have been rapidly bonking their way through the condom supply, it might not be their sexual appetites that caused the athletes to run out of their protective equipment so quickly.

Despite the rambunctious goings-on at the athletes village, their issue might be one of supply rather than demand.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the French hosts wisely dropped 300,000 condoms on the competitors. This would have meant each Olympian being given the equivalent of two condoms each, per day.

But while there are roughly a third as many competitors in the winter games, the equivalent amount would have been 100,000 prophylactics for the athletes, not 10,000.

Spanish bronze medal winning triple jumper Ana Peleteiro previously explained to local media why so much shagging goes on during the games.

"There's a lot of sex going on in the Olympic Village," she told Spanish outlet RTVE. "Yes, there is a lot of sex. I can't include myself now, since I'm a married woman.

"But imagine, everyone is ripped from training all year, everyone is in great shape, and you have been super focused on the goal all year. When you finally let loose, if it goes well, it's time to celebrate, and if not, it's time to drown your sorrows. It's wonderful."
