a recursive Australian Olympic athlete fixed her kayak with a condom and ended up winning two medals at Tokyo 2020.
The Olympics are definitely the competition in the world that generates the most curious stories. In other editions, barefoot athletes have been seen running the marathon (42 kilometres), beating black runners in the middle of the Olympic stadium in Berlin with Adolf Hitler in the grandstand, and even athletes from almost unknown countries competing in the swimming, not knowing how to swim.
This edition will go down in history because anti-intimacy beds were released at the Tokyo Olympics. Also, strict rules limited physical contact between athletes. These measures served so that they had condoms on hand and used them, incredibly, to repair their competition tools.
Recursive Olympic athlete fixed kayak with condom, and won two medals!
The protagonist of this feat is the Australian Jessica Fox, who made history by repairing her kayak with a condom. Not finding sufficient resources in the Olympic village to make an adequate repair, she had to resort to the help of her technician, the use of a condom and a carbon mixture that they used to fix the improvised glue that turned out to be effective.
Thanks to this patch, Fox incredibly became the first Olympic champion in the new C1 category of this discipline. As if that were not enough, she also took the bronze in the K1 slalom test with this same kayak, which will undoubtedly be a story that everyone will remember.
