Less than two months before the opening of the Paris Olympics, tens of thousands of cardboard beds are ready to host athletes from around the world in the Olympic Village, but a New York Post article criticizing the bed as "anti-humanity" has raised doubts about the city's environmental protection, but the real celibacy. The cardboard bed purchased for the Paris Olympic Village is made by a Japanese company, the same one that will host the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, AFP reported Thursday. At that time, in order to ensure the safety of the epidemic and prevent athletes from having private contact, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee customized 26,000 single cardboard beds.
In the face of accusations of "asceticism," the Paris Olympic organizing committee has officially refuted rumors that these days are different and there is no need to limit athletes' social distancing. "There has been a lot of media interest in the cardboard beds for the Tokyo Olympics, but there is a higher motivation for Paris 2024 to choose a cardboard bed for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which is to ensure the minimum impact on the environment and that the whole bed is recyclable," a spokesman for the Paris Organising Committee told AFP.
The spokesperson also highlighted the performance of the cardboard bed, saying it can bear up to 200 kilograms. According to the report, the paper bed is mainly made of corrugated paper without the use of nails and adhesives, and can be customized according to the athlete's body type. After the Paris Games, the bed frames will be recycled and the mattresses and pillows donated to schools and social institutions.
In July last year, Takaoka Honshu, the founder of Aiweifu, confirmed the robustness of the cardboard bed by jumping on the bed frame and claiming that "it can withstand several people."
The Paris Olympic Village, which covers about 70 football pitches and cost 2 billion euros to build, will have two or three people sharing a room due to the large number of athletes. In March, Laurent Dallard, who is in charge of Olympic first aid and health services, revealed that 200,000 male and 20,000 female condoms would be provided in the Olympic Village during the Games.
