A whopping 450,000 condoms will be dished out to athletes competing in Rio 2016 Olympics

THERE is going to be as much action going on off the field as well as on it at the Rio Olympics, with athletes having access to a whopping 450,000 condoms and 175,000 packets of lubricant.

The high number of prophylactics has smashed previous records set for the competition.

Men will have 350,000 rubbers to use, while for the first time women will have access to 100,000 female condoms.

The famous motto "faster, higher, stronger" is being given a whole new meaning thanks to the supply provided by the International Olympic Committee.

Condoms are referred to as camisinhas in Brazil - a slang term meaning "little shirts."

The high quota means the 10,500 frisky athletes will have 42 condoms each, which means they will be able to get hot and hook up at least two to three times a day during the sporting event, which lasts for 17 days.

Olympic rowing gold and silver medallist Zac Purchase, who competed in London and Beijing four years earlier, told : “It is an absolutely huge allocation of condoms."

This year's games have been branded the raunchiest ever, even with those taking part having the concern of the Zika virus

Purchase added that despite the number of condoms available, a lot of athletes were still concentrating on the competition: “It’s not some sexualized cauldron of activity.

“We’re talking about athletes who are focused on producing the best performance of their lives."

It seems that to date Sydney 2000 Olympics has held the title of being the friskiest ever, when the 70,000 condom supply ran out and organisers had to order 20,000 more.

At the time, US target shooter Josh Lakatos told : “I’d never witnessed the debauchery seen at Sydney 2000 in my entire life.

“My apartment in the Olympic Village was like a brothel."

The condom count started in Seoul in 1988 - 8,500 condoms were provided to athletes.

Athletes were clearly getting up close and personal when prophylactics were found on roofs in the Olympic village and there was a ban put in place on sex outdoors.
