As the organizers announced on Sunday, contrary to tradition, this time the Olympic participants will not receive condoms when moving in – as a precautionary measure against the spread of the corona virus.
Since the 1988 Seoul Games, it has been the practice at the Olympics for athletes to be provided with condoms during the Games. This time, however, they will not get the 160,000 planned contraceptives until they leave Japan, it said.
The athletes at the Tokyo Games are subject to very strict rules of hygiene and behavior. In the Olympic Village, people are asked to adhere to distance rules and to avoid “unnecessary forms of physical contact”. In the event of a violation, the participants face sometimes draconian penalties, up to and including expulsion from Japan. According to the IOC, 80 percent of the athletes in the Olympic Village will be vaccinated by the start of the Games.
