“In Paris the athletes received 300,000 condoms — two per day each— but the numbers for these Winter Games were significantly lower: not even 10,000,” La Stampa’s report states.
Just under 3,000 athletes are competing at the Winter Olympics, compared to around 10,500 in the Paris Games two years ago.
Rough estimation says the organizers should’ve provided closer to 100,000 condoms, 10x what they supplied.
In Paris, the beds started breaking.
I thought that didn’t actually happen? Despite reports before the games that the beds were made of cardboard to prevent sex by collapsing under the weight of two people, the organizers denied that was the reason and athletes posted videos during the games showing multiple people jumping on a bed.
The reason for the cardboard was so they could recycle the beds and IIRC it was a Rupert Murdoch tabloid that started the story that it was actually to prevent sex.

You’re right about the beds and it’s a bit of a joke but I do recall now that it was a Murdoch anti environmentalist slag who wrote it up.
In answer to the question as written: yes, you did think that didn’t happen. I’m mostly certain on this.
Happy to help!
