This is a headline every single year.

And it's because of the condoms that they give out in the Olympic Village.

And it's a lot of, think about it this way, very young, very fit people who are, you know, potentially wearing some version of a unitard or less.

And I think that it kind of makes sense that they would all be like hooking up in their dorms.

Yeah, this happens all the time and it's happening right now in Milan.

And the organizing committee had to release a statement saying that condom supplies in the Olympic Village were temporarily depleted due to higher than anticipated demand.

And they said they would be constantly replenished until the end of the games.

So for context, during the opening ceremony, they distributed 10,000 condoms and the athletes had used them all that first weekend.

Yeah, I think that's probably true.

And also like, then there are always the athletes who like would avoid sexual activity before a competition or some people who would want to have sexual activity before a competition.

Like people, some athletes have talked openly about feeling like it actually affects their outcome and their performance.

So, but I also wanted to note that I think this has something to do with the rabid hunt for merch amongst young people because the condoms were wrapped with the Milan Cortina Olympic logo.

So I actually think that if 10,000 condoms were quote unquote used, that 5,000 of those would have been kept just as a souvenir.

Of course.

Of course you're taking an Olympic condom home with you.

Yeah, she's a German bobsledder named Lisa Buckwitz.

And she ranked sixth after two runs recently in her competition.

And she said that she has spent at least $60,000 per bobsled season on equipment, training camp and travel.

And so after she won the women's bobsled in 2018, she posed on the cover of Germany's version of Playboy magazine.

And she decided, oh, there's obviously a lot of interest in me and I'm going to need to fund my bobsledding dreams.
