She had inside information on what happened to 10,000 condoms.
Olympian Ilona Maher is breaking down the reason why so many condoms were gone at the Olympics. The condoms provided to athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics might now have all been put to good use.
According to what the Daily Mail previously reported, only 10,000 condoms were actually delivered to Italy. They would also disappear within three days. Maher is now breaking her silence over the rumor that more than 10,000 prophylactics were “used” during the games in Milan Cortina.
Ilona Maher Breaks Down Why So Many Condoms Disappear During The Olympics
Rugby star Ilona Maher became a TikTok star during the 2020 Games for her behind-the-scenes look at the Games. Since winning bronze at the Paris Olympics with the United States sevens team, Ilona Maher has embarked on a crazy roller coaster ride of fame.
She was at the Winter Olympics as a spectator and a guest to support Team USA. While here, she also heard about the rumor that more than 10,000 condoms were “used” during the games in Milan Cortina. The former rugby player believes that notion is rather far-fetched.
Maher weighed in on the condom speculation recently. In an interview, she pointed out that many participants of the event saved some condoms as souvenirs rather than using them in sports.
While she acknowledges that some at the recent games were used for that purpose, she claims that many were merely “souvenirs.”
“These past Winter Olympics, there was a rumor that over 10,000 condoms were used. Now, some were probably used for that purpose, but I’m gonna here to tell you, a lot of them were used as souvenirs.”
She then proceeded to show off a condom she got from her Olympic gift bag at the 2020 games in Tokyo.
Ilona Maher says that she has a handful of them as mementos from her time at the Olympics. In her Instagram video, she shared how she had a man over one time and showed him the expired condom she got from the Tokyo Olympics.
She says she “asserted dominance,” adding that the lucky man then knew Ilona was expecting an “Olympic performance.”
The trailblazing USA Rugby Olympian led Team USA to a historic bronze medal, the first-ever for the U.S. women’s rugby sevens team. She also competed in the 2018 and 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
Before her career, she starred at Quinnipiac University, winning three consecutive NIRA championships and earning the 2017 MA Sorensen Award for National Player of the Year.
