00:00Safety suits are actually one of the most used items in the Olympic Games.
00:03Why does a sportsman have a tradition of giving out free safety suits?
00:07It's okay if you don't understand. It's useless even if you understand.
00:09You can just pretend that you understand.
00:10Looking back at history,
00:11the first Olympic Games in 1988,
00:13the first time athletes were given free safety suits
00:15was to prevent AIDS from spreading
00:17and encourage safe sex.
00:19At that time, the organizers only provided 8,500.
00:22Unexpectedly, they were robbed.
00:23They had to urgently add 10,000 safety suits.
00:26After that, every Olympic Games continued this practice.
00:29However, the number of safety suits increased significantly.
00:31From less than 20,000 in 1988
00:33to 100,000 in 2008 Beijing Olympics,
00:36150,000 in 2012 London Olympics,
00:38and 450,000 in 2016 Rio Olympics.
00:43This year's Paris Olympics is expected to give out
00:45200,000 men's and 20,000 women's safety suits.
00:48In addition, the Olympic safety suits have special designs
00:51and are worth collecting.
00:52Therefore, some of them were taken away as souvenirs.
