Sections of the Olympics athletes’ village may be unfinished and deemed unfit for habitation, but authorities have made sure one village feature is ready to go.
Brazilian authorities have started stocking vending machines with condoms – enough for 42 per athlete.
About 450,000 condoms will be distributed during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, three times more than for the London Games four years ago, the International Olympic Committee has said.
Part of the reason for Rio’s record-breaking allocation was because 100,000 female condoms will be available for the first time, along with 350,000 condoms for men. About 175,000 packets of lubricant are also being supplied.
The IOC says the condoms, which are known as ‘Little shirts of venus’ in Brazil, would encourage 10,500 athletes and staff to practice safe sex.
