Have you seen the cardboard beds at the Olympics?
There is a reason why the athletes are required to sleep on cardboard beds.
Due to COVID-19, the Tokyo Olympics was postponed for a year, and the anticipation has been building ever since.
However, there’s been a lot of interest regarding the beds installed in the Tokyo Olympic Village, which have been designed to avoid intimacy between athletes!
The beds can carry the weight of one person only. The world’s best athletes will have to sleep on these beds whilst competing at the Olympics.

Guess what? Pieter qualified, and he is at the Olympics!
