    Paul Chelimo responds to cardboard beds in the Olympic Village

    The beds are designed to discourage "intimacy among athletes", but the Olympic silver medallist says that won't be a problem for the distance runners

    In years past, the Olympic Village has been known for offering, ahem, extracurricular activities for athletes. In fact, this has become such an acceptable feature of the Games that organizers in previous years have provided hundreds of thousands of free condoms in the Village. In light of COVID-19, this year is much different, and organizers are discouraging any close contact between athletes. Their solution? Cardboard beds. Olympic 5,000m silver-medallist Paul Chelimo decided to share his take on the living conditions, and it has past and present cross-country and track runners laughing right along with him.

    Beds to be installed in Tokyo Olympic Village will be made of cardboard, this is aimed at avoiding intimacy among athletes

    Beds will be able to withstand the weight of a single person to avoid situations beyond sports.

    I see no problem for distance runners,even 4 of us can do

      1. And the athletes who sleep on these cardboard beds wake up rested and refreshed and rarin' to get out there and honor their country. Even the athletes who have no intention of gettin it on because for any number of reasons.

      2. And if they wake up tired it's no more than they deserve, the nasty little leches.

      3. And if they do get it on in the cardboard beds and the beds collapse because you know, they'd just finish on the floor, laughing all the while.

      4. This plan was contributed by the Democratic Party of the United States. You're welcome.

        Well, let's see. You have hundreds of young, healthy, fit people with big egos. They're by and large single and are going to mingle. To even attempt to discourage it is folly.
