Lost condoms from the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics have surfaced for sale on the internet, with prices exceeding 105 euros each. This information was first reported by the Norwegian news agency NTB, citing the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Last week, another Italian outlet, La Stampa, revealed that the supply of 10,000 condoms provided to the Olympic Village had run out in just three days, prompting officials to announce that additional supplies would be delivered according to demand.

In response to the high demand, it has been confirmed that an additional 5,000 condoms were ordered for the Olympic Village, which will accommodate approximately 1,500 athletes during the Games. However, the events are spread across multiple locations, meaning not all athletes will be staying in Milan, thus affecting the distribution of the condoms. The tradition of distributing condoms to Olympic athletes has been ongoing since 1988, aiming to promote safe sex and health awareness among participants.

The Olympic Games are set to conclude on February 22nd, creating a limited window for both demand and supply of these items. The high price and rapid sale of the condoms highlight the unique aspect of the Olympic experience and the ongoing conversations around athlete well-being and sexual health during such large-scale events.
