RIO DE JANEIRO — The Olympic competition that involves the greatest number of athletes can’t be found on the official schedule, and they don’t give out medals to even the most prolific or accomplished performers.

We are talking about sex, and yes, it apparently happens with astounding frequency in the Athletes’ Village, even as competitors prepare for the most important sporting endeavors of their lives.

The organizers of these Games are prepared and ready for plenty of bedroom gymnastics. The International Olympic Committee confirmed it would provide 450,000 condoms for the Village, which equates to 42 per athlete, or two per day assuming they check in ahead of the event and remain until the end.
