❤️ Condom Supply Runs Out at Milano Cortina Games as Athletes Mark Valentine’s Week

 

Athletes at the Milano Cortina Games have drawn attention off the field after reportedly exhausting their free condom supply before Valentine’s Day, leaving dispensers empty across athlete accommodation sites and adding an unusual talking point to this year’s competition season.

Organisers had distributed about 10,000 condoms across city and mountain athlete villages as part of a long-standing Olympic health practice meant to promote safe relationships among competitors who live in close quarters during the Games. The program focuses on athlete welfare and preventive health, recognizing that most participants are young, active, and social during the competition period.

Reports indicate that by the peak of Valentine’s week, the entire stock had already been used, despite more than a week of sporting action still remaining. This places Milano Cortina among many previous Games where condom demand has exceeded supply, becoming a recurring side story alongside medals and records.

A spokesperson from the International Olympic Committee confirmed the high uptake during a media briefing, noting that thousands had been collected across athlete villages. With roughly 2,800 athletes in residence, officials suggested the surge reflects both the Valentine’s season and the social dynamics inside multi-sport event housing.

Free condom distribution has been a standard feature at major international sports competitions for years, aimed at encouraging responsible behavior and public health awareness. Even though it is routine policy, each Games tends to generate fresh interest when supplies run out faster than expected.
