Athletes likely take the condoms as free souvenirs and maybe save them for friends and family. So, as long as they are free, supply will always be outstripped by demand.
I agree, but if you look at the numbers, for example in Rio, it means that every person took 50 condoms home. I can't believe this is the case. In other words, a stockout will always occur, but the speed by which they stock out is what's interesting.
This is an interesting article. Looks like Rio hires better demand planners :) , although that would be proved if Paris sees a stock out!
Great read Prof :)

Thanks for the laugh! I've been following your posts for a few years but this warranted a comment.
