This photograph shows a hydrojet room at the Centre International de Haute Performance du Val d’Oise preparation center for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will host Team USA, in Eaubonne, northern Paris, on May 15, 2024. — AFP picPARIS, May 18 — They may be made of cardboard, but the beds at the athletes’ village for this year’s Paris Olympics have been chosen for their environmental credentials, not to prevent competitors having sex, organisers said.
“We know the media has had a lot of fun with this story since Tokyo 2020, but for Paris 2024 the choice of these beds for the Olympic and Paralympic Village is primarily linked to a wider ambition to ensure minimal environmental impact and a second life for all equipment,” a spokesman for the Paris Games told AFP.
The fully modular Airweave beds can be customised to accommodate long and large body sizes, with the mattresses — made out of resin fibre — available with different firmness levels. A report this week in the New York Post tabloid entitled “‘Anti-sex’ beds have arrived at Paris Olympics” was reported by other media and widely circulated on social media.To debunk them, Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan filmed a video of himself jumping repeatedly on a bed to demonstrate their solidity.
