HABs Take Center Stage at Winter Games
20 Feb
Summary
- Partners of athletes, dubbed 'HABs', gained significant attention.
- Several romantic proposals occurred during the competitions.
- High demand for condoms indicated lively social activity in the village.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Games illuminated the significant presence of athletes' partners, now being called 'HABs' (husbands and boyfriends). These individuals, including influencer Jake Paul and NFL player Myles Garrett, garnered considerable attention for their support of their athlete partners. The event also became a backdrop for significant romantic moments, with multiple marriage proposals taking place. Skier Breezy Johnson accepted a proposal from her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, following her competition. In another heartwarming event, Hilary Knight proposed to her girlfriend, Brittany Bowe. The games also saw a surprising confession of infidelity from biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid. Beyond personal relationships, organizers noted an unexpectedly high demand for condoms within the Olympic village, with initial supplies quickly depleted. This demand, according to an Olympic spokesman, suggested a lively social atmosphere akin to Valentine's Day.
