Proof ‘anti-sex’ beds at Olympics are fake news - The Advertiser

Proof ‘anti-sex’ beds at Olympics are fake news - The Advertiser

Jul 19, 2021 53 secs

Reports that Olympic Village beds in Tokyo were flimsy and designed to be ‘anti-sex’ have been disproved by an Irish gymnast.

The cardboard beds at the Tokyo Olympic Village are “sturdy”, organisers reassured on Monday, after a report warned they weren’t strong enough for sex.

Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan filmed himself jumping repeatedly on a bed to prove the point, after the report in the New York Post claimed the beds were deliberately flimsy to promote social distancing.

The official Olympics Twitter account thanked McLenaghan for “debunking the myth”, adding “the sustainable beds are sturdy!” The report in the New York Post was based on a tweet, apparently tongue-in-cheek, by US distance runner Paul Chelimo who said the cardboard beds were “aimed at avoiding intimacy among athletes”.

“As long as they stick to just two people in the bed, they should be strong enough to support the load.” Thousands of athletes will stay at the Olympic Village during the pandemic-delayed 2020 Tokyo Games, which start on Friday.
