The world’s best athletes are set to spend their nights on cardboard beds at the Tokyo Olympics, reportedly trying to discourage them from any hanky panky as COVID-19 cases spike.
American distance runner Paul Chelimo tweeted, “Beds will be able to withstand the weight of only a single person to avoid situations beyond sports.”

But, another Olympian, Irish gymnast Rhys Mcclenaghan, posted a video on Twitter saying the cardboard beds actually seem sturdy as he jumps up and down on his without it crumbling.
