Milan Cortina, condoms unavailable at the Athletes' Village: new supply promised

New supplies of condoms are set to arrive at the Olympic Village in Cortina d’Ampezzo after the initial stock distributed to athletes ran out early in the Games.

The Olympic Village in Cortina d'Ampezzo is facing a shortage of condoms as the initial supply provided to athletes was exhausted well before the halfway point of the Games. Organizers have assured that new supplies are on the way, intending to replenish the expected provision for the athletes. This situation has sparked considerable discussion among participants, becoming a notably talked-about issue behind the scenes of the event.

As the competitions continue with numerous medals and records being achieved, the accommodations for delegations are seeing an urgent request for additional condoms. Initially, several thousand Olympic-branded condoms were made available in the communal areas of the Village. However, just a few days into the Games, the stands were emptied, revealing the high demand among the athletes.

Reports indicate that the quick depletion of this supply has led to some humorous yet serious conversations among athletes. The demand for condoms reflects not only practical considerations but also the social dynamics present during such a large sporting event. The organizers' quick response in restocking indicates an understanding of these dynamics and a commitment to ensuring the well-being and comfort of all participating athletes throughout the Games.
