Assume that hotels, regardless of country, are filming, tapping the phone and the internet.
The other bit to realize is that there will be sex, around 100k condoms worth. That's 35 condoms per athlete on average. Certainly there's dirty laundry incentive for news and political orgs.
- TwoBit 13y agoI'm pretty sure those athlete sex reports are highly exaggerated. Those numbers are based on a ridiculous calculation where they took the number of condoms shipped to the Olympics and divided it by the number of athletes.
- chris_wot 13y agoYou think it's just a few athletes having lots of sex? No wonder they are so fit!
- sanswork 13y agoI think they are forgetting all the people visiting the city for the olympics that aren't competing in their numbers.
- adaml_623 13y agoActually these stories are generally talking about the number of condoms available to the athletes in the athletes 'village'. But generally the condoms are branded for the event (like everything else) and hance are souvenired in large numbers distorting any estimates of athlete nookie.
- raganwald 13y agoExaggerated in one way, possibly under-reporting in another. What if athlete sexual activity follows a power law? A very small number of athletes might have hundreds of hookups during the games while most may have zero or one.
- nthitz 13y agoAnecdotal evidence, but measuring the amount of sex that occurs by the amount of condoms purchased will not often be accurate.
