Follow UsWith the Olympics commencing on July 26 in Paris and the city abuzz with excitement, the hospitality at the Olympic Village is exceptional. All athletes participating in the games receive welcome bags brimming with goodies from sponsors, ensuring a seamless experience. The Olympic Athlete 365 goodie bag, sponsored by P&G, Coca-Cola, Samsung, and Powerade, contains various essential items for the athletes during the event.
The black tote includes a special edition Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 with an e-sim offering free data and calling services from telecommunications provider Orange, a P&G Everyday Champions Welcome Kit featuring a Paris-themed reusable bag filled with P&G products such as Oral-B, Head & Shoulders, Aussie, Safeguard, and Febreze, a reusable red metal Coca-Cola water bottle, and a Powerade sipper.
Not everyone was pleased with the contents, however. One person commented on the Olympics' Instagram page, “Ewww @ the Coca-Cola & Powerade bottle, could you find a more sustainable alternative?" Another remarked, “What a ridiculous and pointless waste of resources!” Yet another user expressed, “Now I wish I were an Olympian and could participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.”
In addition to the lavish welcome items, the organizers included a unique addition in the athletes’ gift bags: condoms. Among the various essentials, this item stands out—Olympics-themed condoms with messages promoting safe, protected, and consensual intimacy. The colorful packaging and consent-oriented messages are designed to encourage responsible behavior during the event, with a sporty twist in their language. The Olympic Village is stocked with over 300,000 condoms for the duration of the games, highlighting the organizers’ commitment to prioritizing safe sex.
