Paris 2024 Cardboard Beds and Tahiti Housing

Athletes arriving for the 2024 Paris Olympics are adjusting to their accommodations, which feature cardboard beds designed for sustainability. Originally introduced at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, these beds have faced rumors of being 'anti-sex,' a claim debunked by multiple athletes including British diver Tom Daley and Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, who tested and confirmed their sturdiness. The beds are made from fully recyclable materials, aligning with the Games' commitment to being the 'most responsible and sustainable' in history. While some athletes find the beds uncomfortably firm, others have received mattress toppers for added comfort. Additionally, surfers will reside on a cruise liner in Tahiti, far from Paris, reflecting the unique logistical challenges of the event.
