Olympic score - more than 100,000 condoms handed out at games
The American team wasn’t the only thing setting records for victories at the recently completed Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
The condom also scored gold, according to Canada’s CBC.
The news agency reported that Canadian health officials handed out more than 100,000 condoms to the game’s 7,000 athletes just halfway through the Olympics - that’s more than 14 condoms each.
Responding to the dangerously diminished supply, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS came to the rescue, kicking in at least 8,500 condoms.
Official suspect this is the first time an Olympics games has suffered a shortage of free condoms since they were first distributed at the Barcelona games in 1992 Games, the CBC reported.
