Australian Jess Fox used one of the Olympic-issued condoms to repair her boat before proceeding to win a bronze medal in kayak slalom. Tokyo2020 TokyoOlympics

Tokyo 2020 organizers planned to hand outduring the duration of the Games — a far cry from the 450,000 supplied at the Rio Olympics, but still a substantial number.

Cue Australian Jess Fox, who used one of the Olympic-issued condoms to repair her boat before proceeding to win a bronze medal in kayak slalom. The video shows Fox patching up a hole before sliding the condom over the repair because, in her words, a condom is “Very stretchy. Much strong.” She also added that it gives the patch a “smooth finish.”
