This year, over 14 000 athletes from across the globe are lodging at the Olympic Village set in Saint-Denis, north of Paris.
Pro-South African skateboarder Brandon Valjalo touched down in Saint-Denis this week, sharing a glimpse of the Olympics. Village, the South African house and the notorious recyclable cardboard beds that were first introduced at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The beds, according to News24 , can take up to 250kg and are made with recyclable materials by Japanese company Airwave.
Despite a widespread, long-running joke that the beds are anti-sex beds, designed to encourage athletes to abstain during the games, the organisers of the Paris Games stated that their choice in bedding is purely an environmental one.
