Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the opening rounds of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games surfing competition. However, unlike the other events in the Summer Olympic Games, the date is not written in stone. Nearly 10,000 miles away from the home site of the Paris Games, the surfing athletes are preparing to ride a monster wave in Tahiti. The exact launch of their competition will depend on weather and ocean conditions. The very first day for “The Call” will be July 27. If that day’s forecast looks promising the competition will be given the go-ahead.

For the second straight Summer Olympics, organizers seem to be doing what they can to keep athletes’ cardio solely on the playing surface.

As competitors arrive at Paris’ Olympic Village prior to the 2024 Summer Games, they’ll become acclimated to “anti-sex” twin-size beds crafted from cardboard frames created by Japanese manufacturer Airweave.

Given their limited surface area and thinner polyethylene mattress material, many perceived the beds to be a concerted effort at discouraging sex among competitors.



However, modified sleeping spaces may not actually mean a lack of lasciviousness.

Airweave’s chief operating officer Brett Thornton told The Post in May that the beds’ frames are...

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
