You are an Olympian?.
Free condoms to you.
With 2,925 athletes from 92 countries, the 2018 Winter Olympics set a record for the largest number of competitors ever at the storied event.
The PyeongChang Games also set another record that has nothing to do with sports — more free condoms at the Olympics will be doled out at Olympic Village and other venues at the 2018 competition than any other previous Winter Olympics.
Olympic athletes received 110,000 condoms — the most of any previous Winter Olympics — this year in PyeongChang. That’s more than 37 condoms per athlete, which are worth about $93,370, according to Korea Biomedical Review, a local news agency. The company Barunsengkak donated 100,000 of the condoms at the Winter Olympics, and the Korean Association for AIDS Prevention donated the other 10,000, the news outlet said.
Condoms at the 2018 Winter Olympics are available at the Olympic Village, the stadiums and at the press center. A representative from the Olympics did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
But while this year’s Olympic condom supply is record breaking, the distribution of condoms at an Olympic Games is nothing new. Condoms were first freely available at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, in an effort to prevent the spread of HIV. The distribution of condoms continued from there, as tens of thousands of free condoms grew to a height of 450,000 condoms at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. At Sochi in 2014, 100,000 condoms were given out.
Sex at the Olympics is certainly nothing new, either. In Sochi, news quickly spread that athletes were using Tinder, the dating app, at Olympic Village. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte told ESPN before the 2012 Summer Olympics “70 percent to 75 percent of Olympians” have sex at the Olympics, later adding: “My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend — big mistake. Now I’m single, so London should be really good. I’m excited.”
Indeed, sex at the Olympics has gone beyond the privacy of Olympic Village apartments. Olympic organizers found their free condoms on the roofs of housing for athletes back in Seoul Games in 1988, resulting in a new rule from the Olympic Association that outlawed outdoor sex, as TIME has detailed.
Based in PyeongChang, it’s likely Olympic organizers won’t have the same issue this year.

EACE:
FIRST MEDALS -- Canadian snowboarders Max Parrot and Mark McMorris won Canada's first medals of the Pyeongchang Olympics. Parrot captured silver in men's slopestyle while McMorris took bronze. Redmond Gerard of the United States won the gold. Parrot fell in his first two runs but nailed his third to bump McMorris out of the silver medal position with a score of 86.00.
SEEING SILVER -- Canadian long-track speedskater Ted-Jan Bloemen won a silver medal in the men's 5,000 metres. He was edged off the top of podium by legendary Dutchman Sven Kramer, who broke his own Olympic record to take his third straight gold in the event in six minutes 9.76 seconds. Bloemen finished in 6:11.616. The 31-year-old Kramer won the event in Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014.
QUEEN JUSTINE -- Montreal freestyle skier Justine Dufour-Lapointe finished on the podium for a second straight Games when she took the silver medal in women's moguls. Dufour-Lapointe had a strong final run as she tried to become the first woman to defend an Olympic mogul title, but she was edged out of top spot by France's Perrine Laffont. Andi Naude of Penticton, B.C., was the final skier to go in the final, but she lost control after the first jump and did not finish. Canada's Alex Bilodeau is the only skier to defend an Olympic moguls title, topping the podium in 2010 and 2014.
SOLID GRIP -- Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir scored 80.51 points for their short dance to help Canada lead in figure skating's team event. The three-time world champions and Olympic gold and silver medallists earned Canada 10 points while Kaetlyn Osmond earned her country another eight points in the women's short program. Two-time world champs Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the pairs program to bring Canada's cumulative score to 45 points by the end of the day.
ANOTHER WIN -- Mixed doubles curlers Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris clinched first in round-robin play after defeating South Korea's Hyeji Jang and Kijeong Lee 8-3. The Canadian duo have won six straight draws and finished the round robin with a 6-1 record. The Canadians will play Norway on Monday with the bronze-medal and gold-medal games happening Tuesday. Norway handed the Canadians their only loss of the tournament back in the opening draw.
