Always a winner at the Olympics ... condoms in the athletes village.

IT'S a very real statistic that at the latest Olympic Games, among the supplies for the athletes were a staggering 150,000 condoms. Not each, of course, but to share. It seems after years of training, training and more training (and the occasional picture opportunity in gun shops) the competitors apparently like to ''let off a little steam'' and socialise.

Australian beach volleyballer Natalie Cook is hoping to have a baby with her partner Sarah Maxwell, swimmer Christian Sprenger has proposed to his girlfriend using (no kidding) the knotted drawstring from his budgie smugglers as the ring, there's a pic of Steph Rice sitting next to Kobe Bryant (''her management have denied the romance rumours'') and that's about it.
