Olympic athletes have opened up about the rumoured x-rated activity that goes down in the village, after one revealed it's 'as much about sex as sport'.
There has long been speculation about the sorts of extracurricular activities that go down in the Olympic Village.
It's comparable to the kind of scene you'd visualise during freshers in a university dorm - only the people living there aren't suffering from a week-long hangover.
Instead, they're world-class athletes that happen to be in peak physical condition, all looking to release some tension after some considerably stressful days.

Of course they're all going to be at it!
But it seems as though we needn't speculate any longer, as the USA's winter sports team once made a series of x-rated admissions about the after hours activities.
During a video interview with Cosmopolitan in 2018, the athletes were grilled about what goes down in the Olympic Village, and if they decided to get involved in the action.
The biggest admission came from Alpine ski racer Laurenne Ross, who admitted: "I hooked up with everyone!"
While Skeleton athlete John Daly exclaimed that the amount of hook-ups was due to the amount of young people in the building.
"It happens! Incredibly good-looking [athletes], perfect bodies, tight Spandex. Of course there's gonna be some hooking up!" he said.
"Would you expect anything else!?"
Paralympic alpine skier Andrew Kurka joked that the condoms there were 'Olympic strong', whilst Paralympic sled hockey athlete Rico Roman revealed: "What happens in the Olympic village, stays in the Olympic village."
However, not all the athletes were so forthcoming with their admissions, as some stated they were in happy, long-term relationships.
The admissions come after it being reported that as many as 300,000 condoms are available to the Olympians at the Paris 2024 games.
Which crazily works out at 2 condoms per person, per day.
Former German Olympian Susen Tiedtke further qualified the rumours, when she said: "The athletes are at their physical peak at the Olympics.
"When the competition is over, they want to release their energy."
This same mentality was echoed by Matthew Syed, who represented Team GB at the 1992 and 2000 games.
He revealed that back then the games were 'as much about sex as it was about sport' during an interview in 2008.
People assumed that the cardboard beds in the village were a deterrent to athletes, to discourage them from hooking up.
But organisers have since come out and said the decision in favour of them was purely due to sustainability.
