Former Olympian Susen Tiedtke has revealed exactly why so much sex happens at the Olympic Village during the games.

The Olympics is the most iconic sporting event in the world and takes place every four years between the world's best athletes from across the world.

With all the athletes at the peak of their performance, endorphins are through the roof and it's relatively well-known that there is a lot going on between the sheets when the sun goes down.

The International Olympic Committee doesn't exactly advocate sex between athletes, and there have been specially designed cardboard beds to try and prevent it from happening.

However, due to the circumstances, there is the feeling that is inevitable and since the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, condoms have been handed out beforehand to ensure safe sex.

Olympian Susen Tiedtke, a German former long jumper who competed at two events, lifted the lid on why so much sex happens, back in 2021.

“The athletes are at their physical peak at the Olympics. When the competition is over, they want to release their energy," She said Speaking to BILD.

"When the competition is over, they want to live out their energy, there is one party after the other, and then alcohol comes into play.

"It happens that you have sex and there are enough people who also strive for that."

Tiedtke is of the opinion that the no-sex rule as "a big laughing stock" and stated that "it doesn't work at all".

She also added that "sometimes you could hardly sleep" because you can hear people getting it on in the other rooms.

In what sounds like something from a lad or girl's holiday, roommates would normally leave to allow for one to engage in sexual activity without anyone else present.

Tiedtke, who had a strict father and coach when it came to dating, met ex-husband Joe Greene at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and the two married the following year.
