At every Olympics, officials hand out thousands of condoms to athletes in order to promote some safe "fun" in the Olympic Village. Hey we already saw the disputed rumor about the "sex-free" beds after all.

Well Australian canoer Jessica Fox found another interesting use for one of the condoms handed out, and it won her a gold medal.


Fox posted a TikTok that revealed that she used a condom to secure a carbon mixture to the front of her kayak, and that the condom's stretchy latex gave the carbon a "smooth finish."
