Unofficial Sport in the Olympics
Do you know what the unofficial sport in Beijing 2008 Olympics is? The answer is Sex.
100,000 free condoms are being given away to the 10,500 delegates to protect them of sexually transmitted diseases. If we divide it, there would be 9 condoms for each athlete.
Along with the condoms being given are sex education pamphlets in different languages.
The condoms were donated by China Reproductive Health Industry Association.
It is good to know that the Olympic Committee is protecting not only the Olympic delegates but their sexual health as well.

Does anyone know if the U.S. did this when we hosted the Olympics? Just curious.

I read from a website that the Olympic committee have been giving away condoms since the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 to help raise awareness of AIDS, and Beijing is no exception.
