So is this a new Olympic event?

Beijing Provides 100,000 Condoms For Athletes

BEIJING (Reuters) - The Sydney Olympics ran out. Athens doubled the number. So organisers of the Beijing Games are hoping 100,000 condoms will satisfy the needs of Olympic athletes.

While sex is not an Olympic sport it is expected to be an activity in the Beijing village housing 10,500 athletes, all of whom are in great shape and with plenty of free time on their hands once knocked out of the Games.

Athletes have received free condoms at every Olympics since Barcelona in 1992 to help raise awareness of AIDS, and Beijing is no exception.

"There are many young, strong, single people in the athletes' village and, like everywhere, some will fall in love or other things so we need to make condoms available," Ole Hansen, spokesman for UNAIDS China, told Reuters.

"A lot of these young people are not married or in relationships so we want to make sure they have the information and tools to protect themselves if they have sexual encounters."

The UNAIDS, the Beijing organising committee BOCOG and International Olympics Committee are providing 100,000 condoms as part of a campaign on HIV prevention and anti-discrimination.

LMAO!! Wow, I never knew that. A new olympic sport? Umm. Maybe if there are blurs.

Yes, it is call Ho' Hoppin, and the Hootchie Hurdlin
You can't train for them; you have to be a natural.

But maybe the real question is: is producing 100,000 condoms enough to secure the gold medal.
Nobody wants to finish second.

I didn't realize the Olympics were so sexy. Let's hope the only thing the athletes bring home is a medal and not a case of the clap.

no it is not a new olympic event and if they want a condom can't they just go to the store?
