“I found it,” she said in a Feb. 6 TikTok. This TikTok shows a close-up of the 2026 Olympics packaging. “We have everything we need.”
And Fontana, whose capital is Milan, says that was intentional.
“Yes, we provide free condoms to athletes in the Olympic Village,” he said in a Feb. 8 Facebook post translated from Italian, before highlighting the history of the practice, according to an article in The Athletic. “Some may find this strange, but it means they are unaware of established Olympic conventions. The Olympics began in Seoul in 1988 to raise awareness of sexually transmitted disease prevention among athletes and young people. This should not cause embarrassment.”
And as the organizers of the Games, along with the city of Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Veneto region, they felt a responsibility to provide the athletes with everything they need for a healthy stay. In his words, “Health comes first: concrete prevention and common sense.”
Not all athletes have the same Olympic experience, especially the few teams that choose not to stay in the Village, like the Canadian men’s hockey team.
