Condoms prepared for athletes by the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics Organizing Committee have been rapidly exhausted from the beginning of the competition, drawing attention.

According to foreign media reports such as British media The Sun on the 11th (local time), the organizing committee placed more than 9,700 condoms throughout the athletes' village for 2,900 athletes from 92 countries during the tournament. However, it is known that the prepared condom boxes are already showing their bottoms amid a much hotter reaction than expected.

An official from the Milan-Cortina 2026 organizing committee described the free distribution of condoms in the athletes' village as "a precautionary measure for the health of athletes in accordance with the long tradition of the Olympics."

The official added, "Athletes who have been training with moderation, such as abstinence and maintaining proper sleep before the Olympic Games, tend to vent their pent-up energy after a big game," adding, "It is the organizing committee's natural duty to encourage safe sex."

The organizing committee said, "Additional condoms will continue to be provided during the Olympic Games. In the Olympics, condoms have been distributed free of charge at the athletes' village, regardless of summer and winter.

The U.S. media AOL reported that the players' interest was explosive, saying, "The condom boxes placed in the athletes' village are already empty," along with the atmosphere at the scene.

Amid concerns over a shortage of supplies in the region, the organizing committee said, "We plan to supply additional supplies until the end of the tournament so that there will be no inconvenience in using the players."

The distribution of condoms in the Olympic Village has always been a hot potato, both in the summer and in the winter. Earlier at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, as many as 220,000 condoms (20,000 for men and 20,000 for women) were distributed for 10,500 athletes who stayed in the athletes' village.

At that time, the product package attracted global attention with witty phrases such as "Love, play fair like a game," "You can use it even if you're not a gold medalist," and "Share your victory together and protect yourself from STD."

However, condoms in the Olympic Village are not necessarily used for their original purpose. It is said that many players take it lightly like souvenirs.

In any case, the organizing committee is also operating to allow athletes to take condoms freely at the Milan Olympics, and if the volume is insufficient, it will continue to distribute additional condoms immediately to each area upon request.
