Pictures have been circulating on social media of Eric. Eric's job is to walk around the Olympics with a big sack of condoms handing them out to athletes.

The International Olympic Committee for Rio 2016 has provided more than 450,000 condoms for the two-week games. That's a lot more than any other Olympics.

This works out at 42 per athlete or nearly three a day across the games.

Rodger Sherman - the reporter who revealed the tireless work of this young patriot - said Eric was unable to give an interview because he had to “deliver more condoms.”
