TOKYO THRIFT
Inside Tokyo’s Covid-19 secure Olympic and Paralympic village – where athletes are forced to sleep in anti-sex beds
TOKYO is a city full of famous buildings and iconic architecture.
And its Olympic and Paralympic Village comes across as a homely, if slightly sterile, home for athletes that will descend upon it next month.

Athletes will sleep in single beds, with decoration kept to a minimum within the Covid-19 secure bubble.
The Tokyo 2020 pads possess a clean feel, while tenants will be ordered to eat alone.
Rio's 2016 Olympics was a Tinder hotspot, with matches having rocketed up 129 per cent in the area during the games.
Sex is set to be BANNED at this summer's edition - but precautions have been taken anyway.
Organisers are distributing a staggering 160,000 condoms for the event, to encourage romping athletes to be safe.
The official line is that the mass distribution is to 'raise awareness'.
And rule-breaking rompers could be left red-faced if they attempt to have threesomes, as the beds will likely COLLAPSE.
Tokyo organisers are committed to being as eco-friendly as possible, with each bed having been built from recycled cardboard.

A spokesperson for Airweave, who made the beds, stated: "We’ve conducted experiments, like dropping weights on top of the beds.
"As long as they stick to just two people in the bed, they should be strong enough to support the load."
In the main dining hall, where athletes will be instructed to eat alone, hand sanitising stations are a regular feature.
Pink and orange signs add some colour to the otherwise dull features.
And multi-coloured chairs aim for the same effect.
