According to the article 10.000 were provide for 3.000 people, while in Paris 300.000 were provided for 10.500 people, so about 10 times as much. Nothing to do with hornyness, a lot to do with someone in charge being either a cheapskate or a prude.
Also, since 1988 condoms are provided for free to the athletes, and since 1988 the press feels they need to report on this. Yes we get it, these are just normal people doing normal people things.
At the 2016 Games in Rio a total of 450,000 condoms where distributed among the 11,180 athletes... 10,000 is a joke (even if the Winter Olympics are a 1/3 of the size of the summer)
