Athletes rejoice! The intimacy ban that had been in place for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has been lifted for Paris.

The Olympic village will be stocked with 300,000 condoms with 14,250 people and 9,000 athletes expected to reside in the village which is the size of 70 football pitches.

Surprisingly, the cardboard bed frames appear sturdy enough to support 250kg.

“It is very important that the conviviality here is something big,’’ said Laurent Michard, director of the village.

“Working with the athletes commission, we wanted to create some places where the athletes would feel very enthusiastic and comfortable.”
