"I've Seen People Having Sex Right Out In The Open": 21 Scandalous Stories From The Olympics That Are So Hot, They Honestly Deserve A Gold Medal In Sexiness

1 hour ago 5

For astir people, the 2026 Winter Olympics is each astir contention and sports. But TBH, for me, I'm conscionable excited for the TEA. Because successful lawsuit you weren't aware, the athletes are much entertaining off-screen than connected — and to beryllium it, present are immoderate verrrrry NSFW hookup stories and facts from past Olympics that you decidedly didn't cognize about:

1. Starting astatine the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, athletes had to slumber connected cardboard beds. As an implicit snob astir beds and wherever I sleep, this is beauteous preposterous to me, fto unsocial if I were an Olympic jock — truthful the question is, wherefore the heck would they physique it retired of specified a flimsy material? Well, they were allegedly designed connected intent to beryllium "anti-sex."

And conjecture what? The cardboard beds came backmost for the 2024 Olympics. But the question arsenic to whether they were purposefully built for anti-sex purposes lingered — some athletes similar Tom Daley debunked conscionable however flimsy they were by jumping connected it. This evolved into a debate, with different radical pointing retired that 1 idiosyncratic jumping connected a furniture is simply a whole batch different than 2 radical having sex. Anyway, we don't person to interest astir it anymore, due to the fact that the beds astatine the 2026 Winter Olympics are made retired of wood. Phew.

2. Because of the agelong past of athletes getting down and soiled successful the Olympic Village, the organizers of the Games person learned to travel prepared. At the 2024 Summer Olympics successful Paris, they prepared 300,000 condoms, anticipating that they'd stroke done them each beauteous rapidly (no pun intended).

For immoderate indispensable discourse connected conscionable however chaotic that fig is — determination are conscionable supra 10,000 athletes, truthful that means they're expecting each idiosyncratic to person enactment astir 30 times successful astir 2 weeks. When discussing the absurd number of condoms, the manager of the Olympic Village said, "We wanted to make immoderate places wherever the athletes would consciousness precise enthusiastic and comfortable." And bonus fact: they ran retired of condoms this year, astatine the 2026 Winter Olympics, but they reportedly started disconnected with acold fewer.

3. Ready for an perfectly chaotic story? At the Vancouver Olympics successful 2010, a radical of Olympians from astir the satellite were feeling particularly friendly. They went to someone's location extracurricular the Olympic Village successful Whistler — 1 happening led to another, and they allegedly ended up having an orgy successful the blistery tub. Yes, an ORGY.

If you're wondering whether oregon not your state was involved, fortunate for you, I've got a list: determination were Canadians, Germans, and Austrian athletes. (I know, wouldn't expect that of america guiltless Canadians, eh?) A skier gave ESPN the deets: "It was a late-night whirlpool party. It turned into a whirlpool orgy." Whew.

4. And of course, erstwhile the mid-2010s rolled astir and dating apps became widespread, it became overmuch easier to hook up with chap Olympians. The 2014 Winter Olympics successful Sochi, Russia was 1 of the archetypal large examples of this. They saw a monolithic emergence successful Tinder usage successful the Olympic Village. Athletes were beauteous overmuch moving the app — usage spiked by 400% day-over-day. And this wasn't adjacent successful Tinder's heyday yet!

Reflecting connected the chaotic acquisition of being connected Tinder successful the Olympic Village, American snowboarder Jamie Anderson said, "Tinder successful the Olympic Village is adjacent level. It's each athletes! In the upland colony it's each athletes. It's hilarious. There are immoderate cuties connected there." But I gotta extremity my chapeau to her, due to the fact that she had capable self-control to recognize erstwhile it got excessively far. "There was a constituent wherever I had to beryllium similar OK, this is mode excessively distracting," she admitted, stating that she ended up deleting her account.

5. At the London 2012 Olympics, Grindr virtually CRASHED erstwhile athletes started to arrive. Tech experts said it was due to the fact that of the unprecedented demand, and the app simply couldn't grip it. "It happened astir arsenic soon arsenic the teams got here. Either loads of athletes were logging connected to conscionable chap Olympians oregon were looking to container a local," A Londoner said astatine the time. "It took 24 hours for the app to get backmost up and running, overmuch to the alleviation of each concerned."

Clearly, not being capable to usage Grindr turned retired to beryllium a large root of accent for the Olympians. It was specified a monolithic outrage that the laminitis of Grindr had to apologize. "I privation to personally apologize to users," helium said, admitting that helium understood it was a "frustrating" issue, and the Grindr employees worked "around the clock" to hole it. "I besides trust connected Grindr successful my day-to-day idiosyncratic life. It made maine consciousness disconnected," helium said.

6. Thankfully, Grindr has learned its acquisition from that 2012 fiasco. They've since doubled down to guarantee athletes tin usage the app safely (and we're cheering for that!). For the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics, the institution has announced brand-new, specific features successful the app to assistance LGBTQ+ Olympians hook up (optimizing their experience, if you will).

And honestly, immoderate of these caller features look beauteous awesome. First, they tackled "serious information and privateness concerns" that might've caused worries, particularly for athletes coming from countries with discriminatory laws against cheery people. They besides enabled unlimited entree to the disappearing connection function, and planned to nonstop Olympian users play updates reminding them astir privacy, safety, and "risks circumstantial to the Olympic environment."

7. American shot subordinate and two-time golden medalist Hope Solo competed successful 3 Olympic Games from 1996 to 2004. And she had a lot to say astir the scandalous broadside of the Olympics that lone athletes tin see. Most shockingly, during her clip successful the Olympic village, she recalled seeing radical hooking up "right retired successful the open," wherever everyone tin see. "On the grass, betwixt buildings, radical are getting down and dirty," she said.

When you deliberation astir who Olympic athletes truly are arsenic people, though, it benignant of makes consciousness that they'd beryllium specified horndogs. "When they're training, it's laser focus. When they spell retired for a drink, it's 20 drinks. With a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you privation to physique memories, whether it's sexual, partying oregon connected the field," she said. Basically? Olympians enactment hard, and they defffffinitely play hard. (Again, nary pun intended. OK, I'll stop.)

8. I'm definite you've heard this communicative from the 2026 Winter Olympics — it's been each implicit my research pages and the news. After Norwegian skier Sturla Holm Lægreid won the bronze medal for the men's 20km biathlon this year, helium spoke to reporters astir his win, arsenic each athletes do. But successful his triumph speech, helium did thing that shook the internet: He admitted to cheating connected his girlfriend.

After thanking his family, helium said, "Half a twelvemonth agone I met the emotion of my life. The world's astir beauteous and nicest person. Three months agone I made the biggest mistake of my beingness and cheated connected her, and I told her astir that a week ago." I KNOW. BOMB DROPPED. Despite being successful the Olympics and winning a medal, helium called it the "worst week of [his] life," saying that the Olympics hasn't been his main priority. "My lone mode to lick it is to archer everything and enactment everything connected the table, and anticipation that she tin inactive emotion me," helium said.

9. Now, let's spell backmost to the the '90s and '00s. Matthew Syed, array tennis subordinate who competed successful the 1992 and 2000 Olympics, is present an writer — and pursuing the Games, helium wrote astir his acquisition successful an nonfiction titled "Sex and the Olympic city." He referred to the Barcelona 1992 and Sydney 2000 Olympics arsenic a "sex fest."

Matthew besides got existent astir conscionable however overmuch he'd been having enactment astatine the Games compared to the remainder of his life: "I played my archetypal Games successful Barcelona successful 1992 and got laid much often successful those 2 and a fractional weeks than successful the remainder of my beingness up to that point." And, hilariously, helium besides said that Olympics was "for galore of america Olympic virgins, arsenic overmuch astir enactment arsenic it was astir sport."

10. By now, you're alert that the Olympics organizers person been comparatively sex-positive, encouraging harmless enactment alternatively than nary enactment astatine each (with the objection of those potentially-anti-sex beds). But conscionable arsenic nine hasn't ever been sex-positive, neither has the Olympics. The enactment occupation might've archetypal started astatine the 1988 Seoul Olympics, with the earliest Olympics enactment ungraded I could find. At this Olympics, athletes were having truthful overmuch outdoor sex, they had to ban it.

Specifically, officials kept uncovering condoms connected the roofs of the dorms wherever athletes were staying, and decided that implementing this no-sex-outside prohibition was the lone solution. And I conjecture it didn't work, due to the fact that the regularisation didn't past excessively long. On the agleam side, though, the Olympics organizers besides gave retired 8,500 condoms, warning athletes astir the HIV/AIDS crisis.

11. Athletes walk years pining aft those Olympic golden medals, dreaming of the time erstwhile they'll hopefully gain one. But possibly they don't see what they'll bash with the medal erstwhile they get it...or what they'd commercialized it for. At the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, American skier Carrie Sheinberg recalled a chaotic communicative with 2 members of the German bobsledding team. They tried to commercialized their golden medals for immoderate "group fun" with her.

Telling the communicative to ESPN, Sheinberg said the 2 German bobsledders "made it wide that they'd commercialized [her] their golden for each kinds of different favors.'" In response, Sheinberg made a comic innuendo astir Tommy Moe, her chap American skier who'd won the golden astatine that precise Olympics: "Thanks, but Tommy Moe has a medal. I'll play with his." Yep, they're not conscionable athletic, those Olympians — they're besides beauteous cheeky!

12. You mightiness deliberation the hookups dice down erstwhile the contention is over, but nope, you're mistaken. On the level thrust location from Sydney to LA aft the 2000 Summer Olympics, 100 Olympians were connected the aforesaid formation location — and it was similar a sex fest arsenic well. There were truthful galore Olympians connected the level that, astatine the opening of the flight, the formation attendants smartly announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, anybody who wishes to sleep, commercialized seats with idiosyncratic successful the beforehand of the plane. Everybody other to the backmost with the Olympians."

We're not taking astir discreetly waiting successful enactment for the bath to articulation the mile-high nine — radical were retired and astir successful the rows, getting it on. "Everybody partnered up reasonably rapidly," American Olympic people shooter Josh Lakatos recalled, adding that he'd "comfortably occupied enactment 50-something for astir fractional an hour." Javelin thrower Breaux Greer, different American who was connected the plane, confessed to having enactment with a celebrated Olympian successful the bath (but helium didn't accidental who). "We're going astatine it, and past — boing. I accidentally crook connected the assistance light."

13. Breaux Greer — the aforesaid jock from the erstwhile story, who hooked up with a celebrated Olympian successful the bath — besides had his just stock of amusive earlier leaving the Olympic Village. He was seemingly "visited" by astatine slightest 3 women each azygous time during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, sometimes without much than a mates hours successful between.

This 1 successful peculiar makes maine shudder. ESPN describes the women Greer hooked up with as: "An accomplished rod vaulter and erstwhile flame; a mighty hurdler who 'tried to predominate me,' Greer says; and a 'very talented' vacationer from Scandinavia." (I truly don't privation to cognize what those past 2 small anecdotes mean.) Reflecting connected that experience, Greer said, "I was a blessed antheral going into competition." No kidding.

14. Greg Louganis, an American golden medal-winning diver who competed successful the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, got real astir his experiences flirting with Olympians from different countries. He recalled being "struck by the Russians' consciousness of intersexual liberation." He said, "Culturally, they're much openly affectionate toward each other, which I conscionable drank up, since I was inactive discovering who I was."

Although determination was decidedly tons of fooling astir going on, Louganis noted that helium had a crush connected 1 Russian Olympian successful particular. But it didn't enactment retired due to the fact that his crush "was hooking up with 1 of the different antheral divers connected the team" — and was besides MARRIED. Dun dun dunnnnn! (From the wording of the story, it's hard to archer whether helium was joined to the diver connected his team, but either way, sounds similar there's nary shortage of play going on.)

15. Although the Olympic committee has learned to banal up with arsenic galore condoms arsenic possible, somehow, they've inactive ended up underestimating those athletes' drives. At the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, officials had to nonstop retired an "emergency" shipment of astir 10,000 further condoms aft the archetypal proviso of 100,000 was moving "dangerously low." I conjecture 14 condoms per idiosyncratic wasn't enough.

And shipping those extra condoms was a bigger feat than you mightiness think. The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research had to get involved, moving rapidly to nonstop retired more. Executives astatine the instauration reflected connected however important this occupation was: "When we heard astir the condom shortage successful Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately." And it makes consciousness wherefore this was a priority. "Safer enactment is cardinal to preventing the dispersed of the HIV virus."

16. I cognize we're talking a batch astir condoms, but that's due to the fact that determination are simply truthful galore shocking condom statistics. At the Beijing 2008 Olympics, they brought in 100,000 condoms, each with a precise hilarious and peculiar plan connected them...

...believe it oregon not, the Olympic motto "faster, higher, stronger" was really written connected the condom packaging. Believe it oregon not, determination were 5,000 condoms leftover aft these Games, which were past auctioned off. I'm dying to cognize however overmuch radical really paid for 1 of those.

17. The astir magnitude of condoms astatine an Olympics (that I've heard, astatine least) was 450,000 astatine the 2016 Rio Olympics. This was three times more than the London Olympics 4 years prior. And let's springiness immoderate cheers for inclusivity, due to the fact that this included — for the archetypal time! — 100,000 pistillate condoms.

They besides added, connected apical of that, 175,000 packets of lube. All of this was disposable successful vending machines, too, which makes maine laugh. At the time, the Zika microorganism was a large interest successful Brazil, which could beryllium contracted either done mosquitos oregon enactment — but it's unclear whether the summation was a effect to that. Either way, whew, that's a LOT.

18. Ryan Lochte, an American swimmer and 12-time Olympic medalist who competed successful 4 Games, gave america an estimation of conscionable however galore radical are sexually active successful the Olympic Village. "I'd accidental it's 70 percent to 75 percent of Olympians," helium estimated. "Hey, sometimes you gotta bash what you gotta do." But like, aren't they…busy? I'm puzzled. How bash they adjacent person clip to bid with each the enactment that's supposedly going on?

In presumption of his ain experience, Ryan said it was a "big mistake" that helium had a woman during the Beijing 2008 Olympics. I conjecture helium felt similar helium missed retired connected each the fun. "Now I'm single, truthful London should beryllium truly good," helium said anterior to the London 2012 Olympics. "I'm excited."

19. Many coaches enforce rules connected athletes similar curfews oregon banning mixed-gender visits successful rooms. There's besides security successful the dorms. But erstwhile there's a will, there's a mode — particularly erstwhile you've got the information of an Olympic athlete. "There's a batch of cameras and information everywhere, truthful you decidedly person to beryllium sneaky," said American Olympic hockey subordinate Hilary Knight.

Amanda Beard, an American swimmer who participated successful 4 Games and won 2 golden medals, discussed conscionable how overmuch effort her chap Olympians would enactment into uncovering a hookup spot. "People would locomotion astir for miles to effort to sneak somewhere," she recalled. And honestly, I judge it.

20. At the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, postulation connected some Tinder and PornHub skyrocketed, specifically wrong the Olympic Village. Tinder usage accrued by a whopping 348%, portion Pornhub's postulation changeable up by 85% — with the apical hunt astir this clip being threesomes. Why porn, you ask? "Before competing, it is online stuff," an anonymous Olympic jock told USA Today Sports. "Afterwards is erstwhile it's clip for the existent thing."

In effect to this statistic, different jock defended Olympians and their close to entree arsenic overmuch naughty online contented arsenic they want. "You privation to speech astir porn? Okay, good yeah, we're quality and we person needs too, conscionable similar anyone else." Which, hey, I conjecture is just enough!

21. In a video for Cosmopolitan, Gus Kenworthy, who skied successful 3 Olympic Games starting successful 2014, confessed that radical really lost their virginity successful the Olympic Village. "I don't cognize however gossipy I wanna be," helium started, but past decided to springiness america the juice. "I deliberation determination was, like, nonaccomplishment of virginity successful our Olympic village, which is crazy."

In the aforesaid video, American skeleton racer John Daly, who besides competed successful 3 Olympics successful the 2010s, explained precisely wherefore there's truthful overmuch hooking up going on. "It happens," helium said, laughing. "Incredibly good-looking, cleanable bodies, choky spandex — of people there's gonna beryllium immoderate hooking up. Do you expect thing else?!"

So... yeah. I decidedly gasped respective times erstwhile speechmaking these stories, and I'm definite you did too. Who knew Olympic athletes were so... promiscuous? Tell maine your thoughts successful the comments below!

And travel america connected TikTok and Instagram — particularly if you're conscionable arsenic funny successful the beverage arsenic you are astir sports.
