Olympic Love: Athletes Race Through Valentine's Supplies at Milano Cortina

During the Milano Cortina Games, athletes showcased their Valentine's week spirit by exhausting the condom supply distributed by organizers long before the final day arrived.

A total of 10,000 condoms were made available throughout the city and mountain accommodation sites, a practice aimed at encouraging safe interactions among young and energetic athletes living in close quarters. Nevertheless, the stock ran out by Saturday, with the games still ongoing, adding Milan to a series of Olympics where demand surpassed supplies.

This trend reflects the thriving social aspect of the games alongside the quest for medals. Athletes, including Mexican figure skater Donovan Carrillo and Madagascan skier Mialitiana Clerc, expressed surprise at the rapid depletion, highlighting the vibrant, albeit quieter, side of the Olympics.
