The Olympic Games are going to start in Paris from 26 July. There is always something that surprises people in the world's biggest sporting event. Something similar has happened in Paris this time too. The anti-sex beds that were first introduced in the 2021 Tokyo Games have returned to the Paris Olympics as well. This bed was criticized a lot in 2021. Now once again it is in the headlines.

The beds made of cardboard were reportedly introduced by organisers in an attempt to prevent sex between athletes during their stay in the Olympic Games Village. Athletes have suggested that their comfort has been compromised by having fragile beds in their rooms. But, organisers of the Paris Games persisted with the move. Australian tennis stars Daria Saville and Ellen Perez tested the new anti-sex beds themselves and shared videos on social media.

In the video, Daria Saville and Ellen Perez can be seen performing volley exercises, squat jumps, step-ups, etc. The caption of the video reads, “Testing the cardboard beds in the Olympic Village.” Although the beds appear to pass the durability test, some athletes say they are not comfortable enough.

Irish athlete also shared the video

Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan also tested his bed and called the anti-sex story rubbish. He said, “Last time I tested them, they passed my test. Maybe I wasn’t strict enough…” He shared his video on Instagram and wrote, “Paris Olympics Andy caught sex bed again.”
