There was definitely one professional athlete from in 2015’s video games who was jealous of Britcher and her high tech bed: U.S. rugby gamer Ilona Maher, who shared her funny response on TikTok.
“Your… Your bed has a whole remote to it? It has modes?” Maher stated, getting gradually more psychological as she spoke. “How big is it? It looks pretty big.”
“Our beds in Tokyo were like, only like that big,” she stated, making a little gesture with her thumb and forefinger. “And they were highly flammable. And very solid. They were very solid beds. My back hurt like, a week after I started laying on them.”
Fighting back phony tears, Maher included, “But have fun! That looks awesome. That looks so cool.”
Back at the 2020 Summer Olympics, there was regular conversation surrounding the so-called “cardboard beds” at the Village, which started after U.S. runner Paul Chelimo tweeted an image of the light-weight bedframes and stated that they might just “withstand the weight of a single person” as part of a strategy to prevent “intimacy among athletes.”
That believed procedure was later on exposed by Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, who put the self-described “anti-sex” beds to the test by posting a video of himself happily leaping up and down on one.
“Apparently they’re meant to break at any sudden movements,” McClenaghan stated. When the bed did not break, he stated, “It’s fake! Fake news!”
