Inside Olympic village welcome packs for athletes including phone and condoms with cheeky message on package
CANADIAN sailor Sarah Douglas has given a look inside the welcome packs provided to athletes at the Olympic village.
Around 10,000 athletes are set to descend on Paris ahead of this summer’s Games.
The first set of events begin on Wednesday with football and rugby sevens, before Friday’s opening ceremony on the Seine.
As the athletes arrive at the village, they are greeted with a welcome bag inside their rooms.
Douglas, who finished sixth in the Laser Radial class in Tokyo three years ago, has shared what comes in the pack.
The 30-year-old posted a video to TikTok revealing the contents, which includes water bottles, a mobile phone and a pocket guide.
She also showed off a toiletries bag before ending the video with a glimpse of the Olympic-branded condoms.
Each set of the contraceptives came with a message written on the packaging.
The first read: “On the field of love, play fair. Ask for consent,” whilst the second said: “No need to be a gold medallist to wear it.”
Athletes are set to be provided with enough condoms for two bonks a day each during the Paris Games.

It comes as a sex ban implemented in Tokyo is lifted, despite the beds in the village being made of cardboard.
Intimacy was banned in 2021 due to Covid-19, but has been removed for this year’s event.
Paris Olympics with 300k condoms
Nearly 15,000 residents – around 10,500 of which are athletes – will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11.
To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers.
One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games.
A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties.
London 2012 had claimed the title of “the raunchiest Games ever”, but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later.
Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
Even with an intimacy ban at Tokyo 2020 due to Covid-19, some 150,000 johnnies were handed out.

The Paris Olympic village cost £1.7billion to construct and is the size of 70 football pitches.
Plans are in place to convert the athlete accommodation into 2,500 homes after the Games.
