The Tokyo Olympics planning committee has recently shown that it loves the environment by launching cardboard beds, and they are creating a buzz on social media. People are speculating that the beds are meant to stop the athletes at Tokyo Olympics from hooking up and are even labelled as anti-sex beds by some people.

Made entirely of renewable materials, the cardboard beds might make environmentalists like Greta Thunberg happy, but they do not look extremely attractive. From all the images released, it seems that the beds would collapse with just one round of sex by the athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympics.

Some Twitter users also claimed that the beds were introduced to ensure that the athletes do not have sex while participating in the Tokyo Olympics. The athletes do have the reputation of being horny. Rubbishing such claims, AirWeave, the Japanese company that provided the cardboard beds, stated, “Cardboard beds are actually stronger than the one made of wood or steel.” It also claimed that the beds could support as much as 440 pounds.

 

Paul Chelimo, the Olympic silver medallist, tweeted that the cardboard beds were introduced to discourage athletes from sleeping together. He tweeted, “Beds will be able to withstand the weight of a single person to avoid situations beyond sports.” Many publications and Twitter users used this tweet to state how Olympics organizers were hoping to control athletes and ensure they did not have too many hook-ups.

 

On the other hand, Irish gymnast, Rhys McClenaghan, took to Twitter to share that the beds were quite sturdy. Furthermore, he showed off how the beds used at Tokyo Olympics were able to withstand it when someone vigorously jumped on them. The Official Tokyo Olympics account retweeted the clip and even thanked the Irish gymnast for debunking the myth.

 

The mystery of Tokyo Olympics Cardboard beds is still unsolved. Some people believe Chelimo’s claim that the Olympic organizers do not want athletes having a good time, while others think that the beds are good for the environment and sturdy, so they should not be a problem.

In other news, the collision between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is grabbing a lot of attention.
