Well, this wasn’t exactly the kind of Olympic record anyone was expecting.
WINTER OLYMPICS CONDOM CONTROVERSY: Athletes Burn Through Supplies in Just 3 Days — Organizers Scramble to Refill on Valentine’s Day
Athletes competing in the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics reportedly blew through the entire supply of free condoms in the Olympic Village in just three days, forcing organizers into a last-minute scramble to restock the contraceptives, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
According to multiple reports out of Italy, fewer than 10,000 condoms were initially distributed to approximately 2,800–3,000 athletes participating in this year’s Games, and the entire stockpile vanished within 72 hours.
For context, the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics distributed a whopping 300,000 condoms to its athletes, roughly two per day per competitor.

In contrast, Milano-Cortina organizers handed out barely a fraction of that amount… and apparently underestimated the “social stamina” of the world’s elite competitors.
International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams later confirmed that roughly 10,000 condoms had already been snapped up by athletes living in the Village accommodations.
