And yet another reason for (undersexed, overstressed, out-of-shape) Londoners to hate the Olympics. It kind of reminds me of being really behind all the AI civilizations in Civ II and being invited to "gape in awe" at tech developments your puny society has been unable to come up with. It's going to be the all-humiliation show, with added Boris Johnson tannoys.

From what I've heard from multiple people who volunteered at the Atlanta Games back in 96, the Olympic Village ran out of condoms on the second day of the Games and had to have a resupply trucked in. In the meanwhile, delegations were sending runners to go clean out every drugstore inside the Perimeter (285, the ring road that surrounds Atlanta.) You couldn't buy a condom in this city for weeks after the Games ended.

"The next morning," Lakatos says, "swear to God, the entire women's 4x100 relay team of some Scandinavian-looking country walks out of the house, followed by boys from our side. And I'm just going, 'Holy crap, we'd watched these girls run the night before.'" Good lord, that's a descriptive image.

Okay, I'm curious about the math here.

Then, at the 2000 Sydney Games, 70,000 condoms wasn't enough, prompting a second order of 20,000 and a new standing order of 100,000 condoms per Olympics.

There were 6,582 men and 4,069 women at the 2000 Sydney games, for 10,651 total. The games themselves lasted 16 days, but the article says the athletes move in a week before the games begin, so call it 23 days. They went through about 3,913 condoms per day on average. There were only 4,069 women at the games…

That math isn't too surprising for me. At that age I can see the usage for the ones who want some sexy time being 1+/day. Add in that these people are likely to not want to mess around without protection so you'll also have a pretty high usage rate and boom, you got those numbers.

Plus people are probably going home with some comdoms still in their possession... I'm not saying their cheap and enjoy ripping off the games but with the FP posts I've seen recently about some sports athletes being broke as a joke it's not inconceivable either. That and I can see someone grabbing a handful and leaving with 1/2 a handful unused. Who knows?

I was about to swear I read a story about this exact same thing in the Olympics four years ago, but then I RTFA: But the image of a celibate Games began to flicker in '92 when it was reported that the Games' organizers had ordered in prophylactics like pizza. Then, at the 2000 Sydney Games, 70,000 condoms wasn't enough, prompting a second order of 20,000 and a new standing order of 100,000 condoms per Olympics.. Yeah.

It occurred to me that one must presume not all the athletes are straight, but still that seems to me like a high ratio of athletes to condoms per day.

By: Brandon Blatcher

Brandon Blatcher — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:51:47 -0800

They went through about 3,913 condoms per day on average. There were only 4,069 women at the games... Both the men and women are peak physical specimens. They could probably do it 3 times in the morning, do a race and 3 more at night. Throw in another 2 times, just because a breeze kicked up, and yes, truckloads of condoms makes sense.

By: elizardbits

elizardbits — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:52:36 -0800

Considering how many of these athletes are in their late teens/early 20s, I kind of find it frankly ridiculous to assume that they were using only one condom per day.

By: zipadee

zipadee — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:53:30 -0800

Agreed. While not literally a double, it's really not new. 16 year old Greg Louganis cuddling in the lap of a Russian diver isn't new? Seriously, the general story has become a perennial over the last decade but they got a whole lot of athletes to go on the record with colorful anecdotes in this one...certainly by far the most detailed version of this story I've seen.

One summer, I worked for a family on their farm and doing handyman work at their house in the city. The wife was an ice-skating trainer. For one week, they played host to a mixed-gender bus-load of competitive ice skaters...all in their late teens-early 20's. Peak physical specimens, every one of them. And the horniest, dirtiest, randiest pile of people I had ever met. I'm not sure there was a single one of them that wasn't banging all the rest. It was quite an eye-opener.

Oh man, this is a perfect Fermi estimation style problem! Let's see. We have about 10,000 athletes. Maybe about 1/2 of them have partners already, so that makes for 15,000 people. Assuming that each sexual act takes 2 people (I know, I know), that's 7,500 couples. Let's eliminate about 1,500 who don't sex it up during the games or only sex it up once or twice (older married folks like Federer, etc.), leaving 5,000 couples. If they use protection 70% of the time (I think it's a fair estimate, some couples are married and won't use protection, more will use it every time since they are top-class athletes who treat their bodies well), that's .7*5000 = 3500 couples using protection with every sex act. If you average 3 sex acts every 2 days for 23 days for every such couple (pretty reasonable, Nadal may be too tired after a 5-hour match to sex it up in the evening, Carmelo might whoop it up one night, etc.), that's 3500*1.5*23 = 120,750 condoms needed. I got the right order of magnitude, so I win! We should also assume some folks bring their own condoms because they might have a latex allergy or a preferred brand or something. 100,000 condoms sounds like quite a reasonable number.

I seem to recall the last time this story made the rounds that a lot of these condoms were being picked up by athletes as souvenirs. They're free, and I think they may be specially packaged as Olympic village condoms (gold, silver and bronze!), so it's not surprising that everyone would snag the occasional handful to bring home. Not that there aren't sexytimes going on, but using the rate at which condoms disappear might overstate the magnitude a bit.

Well, they could focus on winning the medals that we, as taxpayers (in most of the developed nations, I assume) fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars for their training each year so we (as a nation) can feel good about ourselves (as a nation) for 10 minutes. Amateur sports deserve support just as the arts do. Whether or not we "taxpayers" pay (a very meager amount) for their training has nothing to do with whether or not athletes want to shag in their private time, off the clock.
