All recyclable

Here an Olympian tests the “anti-sex beds”

How stable are the so-called "anti-sex beds" on which the Olympians in Paris spend the night? A British water sports star has tested it out.

Because the beds in the Olympic village are made of cardboard - and therefore one hundred percent recyclable - and are also very narrow, the US newspaper "New York Post" casually called them "anti-sex beds". They are probably anything but suitable for lovemaking.

"Very robust"
Olympic steeplechase champion Tom Daley did not want to rely on the expertise of the US newspaper and tested the beds in the athletes' village, as he showed on Instagram. In a video, he shows his fans how the cardboard beds are set up, the storage space and then even jumps around on them. The video ends with a short, somewhat ambiguous pose and the conclusion: "Very sturdy."

So the Olympic Games can finally get underway - and the beds shouldn't stand in the way of a fling or two.
