While anyone can follow the activities of the Rio athletes, only the athletes, ex-Olympians in Rio can use it like Tinder, matching up with others in the city. The practice of giving out condoms at the Olympics began at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, when a mere 8,500 condoms were given out to the 8,391 athletes participating. Argentine Olympians will be able to go for the gold in more ways than one, as the Brazilian Ministry of Health has given out a whopping 9 million condoms for the Rio Olympics being inaugurated today. A new application called “The Olympic Athletes Hub” will be up and running during the games. 450,000 of these will be sent to the Olympic Village, with an estimated 42 condoms available for each athlete during the 17 days of the events.
