THE NAKED ATHLETES aren’t even the best thing about ESPN The Magazine’s “Body Issue.”

Instead, Sam Alipour’s amazing feature on the ungodly amounts of sex and partying that goes on in the Olympic Village is the highlight.

Alipour spoke with a bunch of former Olympians, who revealed that the Village is one one crazy place.

Many of the athletes opened up and told Alipour crazy stories to illustrate how insane the Village gets. These stories include everything from Hope Solo doing the Today Show drunk the morning after cozying up to a celebrity, to a javelin competitor having sex with three women per day in order to stay relaxed.

  • At the 2000 Olympics, javelin competitor Breaux Greer had sex with three women every day

  • Hope Solo snuck a celebrity into her room after winning gold in 2008, but won't say who

  • Solo and the women's team then did the Today Show drunk the next morning

  • The organisers of the 2000 Olympics ordered 70,000 condoms. It was not enough

    That's a quote from Hope Solo. Source: ESPN

  • Swimmer Amanda Beard said Olympians 'walk around for miles trying to sneak somewhere' if they are given curfews

  • Skier Carrie Sheinberg said two German bobsledders tried to trade her their gold medals for 'some group fun' at the 1994 Games

    Said Sheinberg: "They made it clear that they'd trade me their gold for all kinds of other favors. I Said jokingly, 'Thanks, but Tommy Moe has a medal. I'll play with his." Source: ESPN

  • At the end of the 2000 Games, the Australian team threw a bonfire and burned a bunch of furniture from the Village

  • The teens are involved too! Shawn Johnson and cyclist Taylor Phinney struck up a relationship in Beijing

  • By the tail-end of the Games, athletes who are done competing stay out to 7 a.m., greeting still-competing athletes as they head to their events

  • At the 1976 Olympics, 16-year-old Greg Louganis cozied up to the Soviet diving team, and saw one married male Soviet diver hooking up with his teammate

  • The party continues on the plane ride home
