Inevitably, some athletes get beyond flirting. That’s why the Vancouver organizers have laid in a stock of 100,000 condoms, which works out to 14 for each of the 7,000 athletes, coaches, trainers and officials housed in the Games’ two villages.

And these aren’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill, generic, family planning condoms either:

The U.S. Curling Association has gone a step further: In partnership with Kodiak Technology Group, they have introduced the Hurry Hard condom, named for a phrase curlers chant to get their teammates to sweep the ice faster.

According to the article, organizers of the Sydney 2000 games made available 70,000 condoms, but that wasn’t enough.  They were forced to place an emergency order for another 20,000 condoms to fulfill demand.  Now…that’s the true meaning of “Olympic spirit”.

UPDATE: It seems that 100,000 condoms was not enough for this winter Olympics session.  An emergency order of 8,500 condoms is now it the way to the athletic village.  Those crazy kids…
