Olympic gold medallist admitted their coach had to 'guard my door due to my reputation for sex' as village secrets revealed

The Olympic gold medallist made an eye-opening admission about their antics at the Games when they competed.

An Olympic gold medallist admitted to having their coach guard the door of their room as they opened up about the amount of hookups during the Games.

The Olympics take place every four years and as well as being the pinnacle for so many fields in sporting events, the showpiece is renowned for a whole lot of action between the sheets at the Olympic village.

So many people have spoken out about what really goes down between athletes, including former Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards, who said he was "on absolute fire" off the pitch in London in 2012.

Although the IOC are not exactly promoting it, since 1988 condoms have been handed out to those staying in the village to ensure safe sex and protection.

In Paris, it was reported that 300,000 condoms were given out to 10,500 athletes in the village - enough for nearly two a day, every day.

One Olympian, who won a gold medal and competed at two events, opened up about their experience and even made an admission about the role their coach played in preventing anything happening.

How much sex happens at the Olympic village?

"Anyone who wants to be naive and say they don’t know what’s going on in the Village are lying to themselves," the athlete told CNN in an in-depth feature.

"They know, the officials know, even the media. It’s not a secret, everyone knows!

"(Sex) is all part of the Olympic spirit. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) wouldn’t say that, but it is, you can’t shy away from it. Why do you think they give away so many condoms?”

"Many of the volunteers (in the village) would say, 'Oh, what is your room like?’ And I knew they were not really wanting to see the room. It’s just fun, they are excited to be with the athletes.

“You talk, you go to your room. Let me say this… there were lots of volunteers and they were happy to help you with whatever your needs were. My roommate and I would put something on the door so we would know if the other was ‘busy’.

"I feel bad to say it but my coach actually guarded the door the night before me and my roommate were racing (because of our reputations)! But it didn’t affect me like that.

"When I raced after sex I felt light on my feet. We were young and most of the people I hung out with were single. Hope Solo told it basically like it is."

Solo, a former US goalkeeper and winner of two Olympic Gold medals, told ESPN that she witnessed people having sex "right out in the open" - including "on the grass" and "between buildings" when she was in the village.

In the same feature, former American target shooter Josh Lakatos revealed he ended up staying in his residence beyond his allocated time at the 2000 edition in Sydney and felt like he was "running a friggin' brothel in the Olympic Village" because of the amount of athletes who took advantage of the free house.

Ex long jumper Susen Tiedtke said the sex drive comes from athletes wanting to "live out their energy".
