Dating Apps Surge Ahead of Paris Olympics

Ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics, dating apps like Tinder and Bumble have experienced a surge in usage among athletes and visitors, with many users changing their location to Paris. Approximately 15,000 residents, including 10,500 athletes, will occupy the village from July 26 to August 11. Despite the introduction of 'anti bonk' cardboard beds designed for single occupancy, organizers are distributing hundreds of thousands of condoms to accommodate the anticipated increase in intimate encounters. The International Olympic Committee has lifted the intimacy ban that was enforced during the Tokyo Games, allowing athletes to socialize more freely. Many athletes are arriving in Paris with partners, while others are using dating apps to connect with fellow competitors. The Games are expected to be particularly lively, as athletes unwind after their events in the 'City of Love.'
