Customarily – and for hardheaded and wellness reason – jock competing in the Olympic Games are given safe . A wad of safe , in reality . At the Winter Olympics in 2018 , for case , athletes received110,000 condomsor over 37 safe per athlete .
In short , you put G of athletes at the top of their strong-arm fitness all in one place , nobody is surprised when they bang like they ’re doing it on behalf of their land . Rather than try out and stop this ( the Olympic committee are not puritans ) and initially to seek to prevent the spread of HIV , legion nations ensure that they are good and provide trade protection .
This yr , however , is a little different , given the on-going COVID-19 pandemic . The organizing citizens committee will this year seek to terminate athlete from participating in the no - pants pentathlon , reach out condoms to the participant only as a parting gift , to try and limit the spread of COVID-19 between jock .
As well as not render condoms , it has been rumour among athletes that the committee has study a rather more unusual effort to implement social distancing in the bedroom . Unlike New York , whichrecommended glory holesearlier on in the pandemic , the Olympics are reportedly going the other route and accommodating athlete on beds that wo n’t manage with the weight of more than one person .
The resolution , according to the Internet , is that if you attempt to have sex on the bed , the composition board will collapse . The rumour appear to have been unfold among jock , including silver medalist Paul Chelimo .
masses spotted a few fault in this supposed scheme , include that long - aloofness runners could have a four - person splurge and still not make up the weight unit of a regular person , and , well :
However , the estimate that the Olympics are attempting to discontinue the athletes from take gender through the " collapsible seam " method seems to be untrue . The bed are made of cardboard for environmental understanding , not to prevent the two - soul pole vault .
The beds , in fact , have been stress tested for just such eventualities and can handle the system of weights of 200 kilogram ( 440 pounds ) . They ’ve even been through stress tryout to check they can make out with sudden unexpected encroachment .
" We ’ve lead experimentation , like dropping weights on top of the beds , " a interpreter for the manufacturersaid back in January 2020 . " As long as they bewilder to just two the great unwashed in the layer , they should be strong enough to defend the shipment . "
To prove the point , gymnast Rhys Mcclenaghan show his layer could easily take his weightiness , even when performing some pretty hefty saltation .
Essentially , if you stick to two or fewer participants in the " down there " javelin , you wo n’t have any problem . Other than a lack of the usual stupefying number of condoms , of trend .
