Record number of free condoms at the Winter Games: 110,000

It will take at least a week before the Winter Games start in Pyeongchang, but a record has already died: that of the number of condoms.

That is 10 000 more than in Vancouver (2010) and Sochi (2014) were available. With 2. 925 participating athletes this amounts to 37.6 condoms per person. The Winter Games in South Korea last 16 days.

The free condoms will be available everywhere. 'We place buckets with condoms in all toilets in Pyeongchang and Gangneung, as well as in the press center, the Olympic village and the medical centers', the organizers say to AFP.

'We do not expect the athletes to use them all,' said a spokesperson. 'Probably many will go in the suitcase as a souvenir. '
