Longread #119 -- Will You Still Medal in the Morning? -- 7/23/12
Since the 2012 Summer Olympics start later this week, I'm posting this article from ESPN about the shenanigans of the Olympic Village. On one level, this article reeks of hyperbole and elitism ("think of how much fun and amazing sex that you can only have if you're an Olympic athlete"), but on another level, it's kind of fun to think about some of the world's most disciplined and talented athletes going nuts once every 4 years. I'm a sucker for a story about a ridiculous party, and this one qualifies: 1 month, 10,000 athletes, 100,000 condoms.
