Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley conducted an unusual test in the Olympic Village to prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The video he posted on Instagram shows that the "anti-sex" beds for athletes are very durable!
The star of the British national team, Tom Daley, who specializes in high diving from a 10-metre tower, decided to test the durability of the beds in the Olympic Village in Paris.
When he's not preparing for his fifth consecutive participation in the Olympics with his new synchronized partner, Noah Williams, Daley finds time to conduct, as he calls them, "scientific experiments for the good of humanity."
The latest of these is a detailed review of the beds in the Olympic village, after "The Independent" reported that "anti-sex" beds were installed at this year's Olympics to prevent relationships between athletes.
Daley took matters into his own hands and showed how sturdy these beds are. "For those wondering about the cardboard beds in the village, I'll show you what they look like," the athlete says to the camera on his Instagram profile.
Daley knocks on the bed frame, which seems quite solid, and says: "This is cardboard. As you can see, it looks like a box, then you have the mattress and the mattress topper. And then we have our bedding for Paris 2024."
In the most crucial part of the experiment, the athlete jumps on the bed (the frame doesn't budge) to show how much movement it can withstand. Then he gets on all fours. "As you can see, they are quite sturdy," he says.
The Paris Olympics will start on July 27th at 1:00 AM GMT and last until August 11th. Considering the strength of the bed frames, we are almost certain that athletes in the Olympic Village can get a good rest!
