Olympian Tom Daley Shows Off ‘Anti-Sex’ Beds in Olympic Village


British diver Tom Daley and some of his fellow Olympic competitors put the Olympic Village’s infamous ‘cardboard’ beds to a stress test

Several other athletes posted their experiments with the beds, including Australian tennis stars Daria Saville and Ellen Perez — who pummeled one with step-ups, a “racquet smash,” “volley practice” and even a cannonball leap — and Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, who noted he’d already tested them successfully at 2020’s Tokyo Games. Courtesy of Tom Daley/TikTok“Beds to be installed in Tokyo Olympic Village will be made of cardboard, this is aimed at avoiding intimacy among athletes,” American distance runner Paul Chelimo tweeted at the time.
