Olympic gold medalist Denise Lewis said passing time in the Olympic village once involved listening to athletes having sex.
“I do recall one occasion where there was someone literally ‘at it,’ and I got a phone call,” Lewis confessed to presenter Romesh Ranganathan on the British game show A League of Their Own.
The British athlete competed and won gold in Sydney 2000 in the women’s heptathlon and as exciting as that may sound, being bored at the Olympics meant athletes needed a method to pass time.
Lewis got phone calls from other athletes who also heard the sex noises from the other room. Out of boredom they all proceeded to go into a room and listen to the athletes having sex.
When asked if she would reveal who the two athletes were, Lewis said she will forever keep them anonymous.
Sex stories coming from the Olympics are a regular occurrence. In Rio in 2016, reports suggested that a total of 450,000 condoms were given to the participating athletes as well as 175,000 packets of lubricant, according to the New York Post.
Athletes in the recent Tokyo 2020 Olympics were asked to refrain from engaging in any sexual activities to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
