10,000 Condoms Distributed at Winter Olympics 2026 Athlete Village Depleted Within 72 Hours
Initial supply provided under IOC safe-sex policy ran out three days after the opening of the Winter Games athlete village
A supply of 10,000 condoms distributed at the athlete village of the 2026 Winter Olympics was fully depleted within 72 hours of the village opening.
The condoms were made available to athletes as part of the International Olympic Committee’s long-standing policy to promote safe sex during the Games.
Free condoms have been distributed at Olympic editions for decades to encourage responsible behavior among athletes residing in the Olympic Village.
The athlete village hosts thousands of competitors from around the world throughout the Games.
In addition to residential and training facilities, the village includes leisure areas and social spaces where athletes interact outside of competition.
The environment has historically been described as both residential and socially active.
Suppliers confirmed that an additional shipment will be delivered to replenish the stock.
However, no specific date has been announced for the arrival of the new supply.
What is unclear is whether the initial allocation of 10,000 condoms was intended to cover a longer period or was part of a phased distribution plan.
