Wild Times In Olympic Village

When I was in Beijing there was lots of discussion about how the Olympians go nuts and hook up all over the place at the games. I remember reading that during the Syndney Olympics they had to ship in MORE free condoms for the athletes!

NBC couldn't televise the most exciting action at the Olympics in Beijing - the sexual acrobatics of the young competitors in the Olympic Village.

According to veterans of the Games, the world's top athletes were hooking up for the two weeks of competition - with a final burst of sexual release last night on the eve of today's closing ceremonies.

"This sex fest . . . [happened] right here in Beijing," Matthew Syed, a past Olympian and table-tennis champion now working as a commentator, writes in the Times of London. "Olympic athletes have to display an unnatural - and, it has to be said, wholly unhealthy - level of self-discipline in the build-up to big competitions. How else is this going to manifest itself than with a volcanic release of pent-up hedonism?"

Syed notes the big winners, "even those as geeky as Michael Phelps," were the principal objects of desire for many female athletes. Losers also get their share, he said, adding it was "a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald's, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy."

To make sure the competitors practice safe sex, the Bejing government stocked the Olympic Village with free condoms, and they were scooped up by the handfuls. One Australian athlete told the paper, "It is unbelievable in there; everyone is totally crazy once they are out of their competitions."

Many past Olympic hookups have progressed beyond the original passion. Tennis aces Roger Federer and gal pal Mirka Vavrinec met at the 2000 Games in Sydney, as did field-hockey greats Alyson Annan and Carole Thate, who entered a civil partnership. Air riflers Matt Emmons and Katy Kurkova wed after sparks flew in Athens in 2004. And sprinter Derek Redmond and swimmer Sharron Davies married after meeting at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

You know somehow I just don't doubt it. They train like hell and have to give up a lot to get there. I am sure they are a horny bunch after all that lol.

And who better to understand the pressures of what they go through than other athletes.

I always love when they use the word shag! He he he.

When I was watching the closing last night and seeing all of the athletes sitting there I couldn't help but picturing them in some huge orgy like wild freaks. It was sort of distracting, lol.

Some of these people train their whole lives for that moment - maybe you do terribly and decide you aren't up for it again. What better way to blow off some steam then go get boned with a bunch of other disappointed athletes. You've got to remember there are a lot more losers than there are winners.

Its weird to think that all those kids are out having a sex fest after their job is done. I don't know about you, but not even 8 gold medals would get me in bed with Phelps.
