Anti-sex beds caused a sensation at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
The reason why the Organizing Committee decided to implement these properties responds to measures against COVID-19. In this sense, they decided to include in the Olympic Village more than 18,000 cardboard beds to prevent sexual intercourse between athletes. In theory the beds only support the weight of one person, but the El Tri players proved otherwise.

Even another significant feature is that later the beds after the event can be recycled. This is one more measure for the residential complex built in Harumi. The authorities of the International Olympic Committee they want to avoid the accumulation of people as much as possible. The organizers have asked the participating athletes to be kept in the Villa’s facilities for a very short time, namely, five days before competing and then they must leave two days after their discipline ends.
