- Road to Tokyo.Berta Bonastre and Carlota Petchame, cousins and international: "We live hockey from the cradle"
The Tokyo 2020 organization announced that works have been completed in the residential area of the Olympic Village that will begin operating next July. 21 buildings have been erected to accommodate about 10,000 athletes and support staff during the Games.
These buildings have capacity for 18,000 cardboard beds . The material of the beds, manufactured by the company Airweave for a Games wishing to reduce its ecological impact, aroused the doubts of the Australian basketball player Andrew Bogut about his ability to resist the sexual activity that is traditionally triggered in Olympic events.
"Very good initiative until the athletes finish their competition and the thousands of condoms distributed in the Olympic Village begin to be used, " he joked on his Twitter account.
After Bogut's comment, AFP contacted the manufacturer, who assured that the cardboard beds will resist sexual activities in the Olympic Village without problem, provided that only two people lie down at the same time in them, as they can withstand Up to 200 kilos
"We have performed tests, such as throwing weight on the beds. ... While there are only two people in bed, they should be strong enough to support the load, " says a company spokesman.
Bogut's peculiar concern arises from the fame that Olympic villas have as auspicious places for sexual encounters. In the last Winter Games of Pyeongchang, the Tinder application saw its use rise to 350%, and in the summer of Rio 2016, the organizers distributed 450,000 condoms, that is 42 per athlete.
