Yes to Olympic sex please, we're Canadian

CANADIAN skier Emily Brydon has revealed the perfect release from the stresses of home country expectation at the Olympics - sex, as long as it's safe.

Health officials in Vancouver have revealed they will provide 100,000 free condoms to competitors. And Brydon isn't surprised.

"What happens at Olympic Village stays at Olympic village," she said.

"There's a lot of stress pent up over the week, so it's safe to say that some good times happen."

And it's not just the athletes.

SafeGames 2010 is a group of local and national health organisations, who are planning to distribute condoms to spectators dressed as superheroes.

However, whether the International Olympic Committee will allow Captain Condom and the Always-Protected Crusader anywhere near their venues remains to be seen.

Distributing condoms at the Games is not new - more than 5,000 leftover rubbers - emblazoned with the iconic Olympic message 'stronger, higher, faster' - were auctioned off following Beijing.

But ten years ago in Sydney, organisers ran out. With the maths working out at 15 free condoms per competitor in Vancouver, it will be interesting to see if that happens again.
