Dark Secret of the Olympic Village

I was searching for some unusual Olympic information and I got something that you should know. Let's try to sneak into the Olympic Village and check the dark side of it.

Remember whatever you read here, leave it here. (LoL)

When people meets new faces, something will definitely ignite their senses. The excitement to know them and the thrill to be with other races who can't speak your own language gives you more interest. This is the typical feeling of any athlete who joins the Olympic event.

Now, to what extent are you going to socialize if you are going to be part of the Olympic squad of the Philippines? I will leave that question to you. My main purpose of this article is to show the dark side of the Olympic Village. (Isn't that obvious? That's the title of my article, LOL)

If we talk sports it's just like we are referring to ESPN. And that's where I got the next series of information which I call the "Dark Secret of the Olympic Village".

TAKE YOUR MARK
Home to more than 10,000 athletes at the Summer Games and 2,700 at the Winter, the Olympic Village is one of the world's most exclusive clubs. To join, prospective members need only have spectacular talent and -- we long assumed -- a chaste devotion to the most intense competition of their lives.

GET SET ...
The games begin as soon as teams move in a week or so before opening ceremonies. "It's like the first day of college," says water polo captain Tony Azevedo, a veteran of Beijing, Athens and Sydney who is returning to London. "You're nervous, super excited. Everyone's meeting people and trying to hook up with someone."

The image of a celibate Games began to flicker in '92 when it was reported that the Games' organizers had ordered in prophylactics like pizza. Then, at the 2000 Sydney Games, 70,000 condoms wasn't enough, prompting a second order of 20,000 and a new standing order of 100,000 condoms per Olympics.

GO... 

Many Olympians, past and present, abide by what Summer Sanders, a swimmer who won two gold medals, a silver and a bronze in Barcelona, calls the second Olympic motto: "What happens in the village stays in the village." Yet if you ask enough active and retired athletes often enough to spill their secrets, the village gates will fly open. It quickly becomes clear that, summer or winter, the games go on long after the medal ceremony. "There's a lot of sex going on," says women's soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo, a gold medalist in 2008. How much sex? "I'd say it's 70 percent to 75 percent of Olympians," offers world-record-holding swimmer Ryan Lochte, who will be in London for his third Games. "Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."

So what will you expect in the Olympic Games in London?
