About 10,000 free condoms were used up in just three days at the Olympic Village in Milano-Cortina, Italy, but have been thankfully restocked
The IOC confirmed that the supply was depleted “due to higher-than-anticipated demand.” Since the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, free condoms have been distributed to athletes in the Olympic villages. PICS/NYPOST
Contraceptives have been restocked in the Olympic Villages in Milano Cortina, Italy, for the 2026 Winter Olympics after running out in just three days, according to International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesperson, who said that “The IOC works closely with the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee to support the mental and physical health of athletes, including supporting sexual health services.”
The restocking of condoms comes after Italian outlet La Stampa initially reported there was a shortage at the villages in less than a week after the Olympics officially began. The IOC later confirmed the supply was depleted “due to higher-than-anticipated demand” and that the supply would be consistently replenished.
Interestingly, Olympics spokesperson Mark Adams said last week, “Shows that Valentine’s Day is in full swing in the village, and I don’t think I can add very much more to that.” He added, “I think about 10,000 (condoms) have been used.” Hard game.
