For most people, the Paris Olympics 2024 is all about competition and sports. But TBH, for me, I’m just excited for the TEA. Because in case you weren’t aware, athletes are funnier off-screen than on-screen — and to prove it, here are some verrrrry NSFW related stories and facts from past Olympics that you definitely didn’t know:
1.
Starting from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, athletes will have to sleep on cardboard beds. Fragile nature was purposely designed to be “anti-sex”.
2.
This year at the Paris Olympics, the organizers have already stocked up with more than 300 THOUSAND condoms, which they expect to throw away quite quickly (with impunity).
3.
At the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, a group of Canadian, German and Austrian athletes had an orgy in a house outside the Olympic Village. Yes, an ORGY.
4.
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia saw a massive increase in the use of Tinder in the Olympic Village – athletes were practically using the app.
5.
And speaking of dating apps: at the 2012 London Olympics, Grindr literally CRASHED. Within MINUTES of athletes arriving.
6.
Julie Foudy, who participated in three Olympics from 1996 to 2004, he said he saw people having sex “right out in the open. On the grass, between the buildings, people get down and dirty.”
7.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics was called a “sex party”, according to an Olympic table tennis player. This led to a phrase for the Olympics: “More sex than Woodstock.”
8.
The problem of sex (or maybe it is not a problem, depending on how you see it) could have first started at the Seoul Olympics of 1988, where the athletes had so much sex outdoors, they had to ban it.
9.
At the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, German bobsledders tried to trade their gold medals for some. “group fun” with skier Carrie Sheinberg.
10.
On the plane ride from Sydney to LA after the 2000 Summer Olympics, it was essentially a sex fest. Not just in the bathroom, but like, in the queues.
11.
The same athlete was also apparently “visited” by at least three women every day during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, sometimes with no more than a couple of hours in between.
12.
At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, officials will send a “emergency” shipments of nearly 10,000 additional condoms after the initial supply of 100,000 was used. (Which works out to 14 condoms per person, BTW.)
13.
And how are the actual condoms? At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Olympics motto “Faster, higher, stronger” was written on the packaging.
14.
The most amount of condoms at the Olympics (that I heard, at least) was 450,000 at the Rio Olympics 2016. This is included – for the first time! – 100,000 female condoms.
15.
At the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics, traffic on Tinder and PornHub “went out” especially in the Olympic Village.
16.
Ryan Lochte, a swimmer who has competed in three Olympics, he said that about 70 to 75% of Olympians have sex at the Olympics. That, wow, is a lot.
17.
Of course, many coaches impose rules on athletes – such as curfews or prohibiting mixed visits to rooms. There is also security, like, everywhere in the dorms. But this only leads to the athletes to (super deviously) sneak out and walk around for hours on end to try to find a place to connect.
18.
Gus Kenworthy, who has skied in three Olympic Games since 2014, he said people really lost their virginity in the Olympic Village.
19.
At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, a Soviet diver – who was married! – was caught hooking up with another diver on his team. SCANDAL.
So… yes. I definitely cringed a few times when reading these stories, and I’m sure you did too. Who knew Olympic athletes were so… promiscuous?
