‘I think I’ll wear gold tonight’: Olympics athlete sends a snap of condoms to his wife… and her response is priceless

WHEN an Olympian sent a cheeky text to his wife… he never expected to be completely taken down by her hilarious banter.

As a flirty proposition, discus competitor Benn Harradine texted a snap of some condoms sent to the athletes in the Games.

In the message, the cheeky Aussie champion said: “My Olympic condoms have arrived… I think I’ll wear Gold tonight.”

Instead of pandering to her husband’s saucy advances, she sassily responded: “Why not wear silver and come second for a change.”

Ben was obviously tickled by his partner’s witty response, as he posted it to Instagram with the caption: “One of the rare occasions when second place actually wins”.

Since he uploaded the snap two days ago, the amusing anecdote has already racked up over 600 likes.

Last month, reports revealed that athletes were being granted access to a whopping 450,000 condoms and 175,000 packets of lubricant.

There’s no doubt that there’ll be as much action going on off the field as well as on it as the quantity of condoms allows each athlete to hook up at least two to three times a day during the sporting event, which lasts for 17 days.

Organisers have also even hired some safe sex specialists, who have been employed to hand out johnnys during the Olympic Games.

Last week, SB Nation reporter Rodger Sherman spotted one of the dedicated workers, uploading a snap of him to Twitter.

The caption read: “Meet Eric, the guy whose job it is to walk around the Olympics with a big sack of condoms.”

The reporter also added: “I wanted to talk to Eric about his job, but alas, he had to go deliver condoms.

“Not all heroes wear capes.”
