If the organisers of the 2004 Athens
Olympics say that all the sporting events
should be performed in the nude, they
could justify this by saying that they were
reviving the original spirit of the games,
etc., etc.
A clever side-effect
will be that no one will notice that none
of
the sporting venues or facilities had been
finished.
[Footnote: Greek
male-only athletics were always
performed
nude. Spartan athletics were also
perfomed nude, but the Spartans allowed
women to compete also, lightly clad]

Couldn't resist. But isn't that the spirit around here? [JungFrankenstein, Jan 14 2005]
Perhaps that what this chap should enter.

From [po]'s link: "three-legged races". |
|
| |
The original games were nude, true, but women weren’t allowed to watch. |
|
| |
and if you make the spectators be nude as well you'll solve the security problem |
|
| |
I don't even want to think about the five-man bobsled... |
|
| |
Hard for the guys too - those things aren't prehensile, you know! |
|
| |
Girls don't compete in the rings. |
|
| |
Pardon my assumption--I merely thought that this would prove so popular that the idea would carry over to the winter games. Plus I don't really keep track of which season of the games we're on. |
|
| |
Most winter sports would not be pleasant naked (at least for the competitors). I think it might actually be more comfortable competing naked in the summer. Plus the weightlessness involved in the pole vault may be interesting to watch. |
|
| |
Granted. That and the gymnastics. |
|
| |
<reverie> Synchronised swimming...
</reverie> |

If [bris] were to illustrate her ?, we'd know for sure. |
|
| |
It was in response to [tsuka]. Thanks for filling me in. |
|
| |
ascii 0179 is my illustration for [FJ]. |
|
| |
Wouldn't the hurdles involve 8 men all shouting |
|
| |
'ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch' |
|
| |
(My first [bris]
idea illustration!) |
|
| |
I think the men's pommel horse would be amusing.... |
|
| |
Yeah. You got cheated [hippo]. |
|
| |
I am not sure about Greco Roman wrestling though. It may just end up becoming a spectator sport. |
|
| |
Did someone say pole vault? |
|
| |
But it would never get shown until about 11 at night? Also, I like clothes! (yes... I'm a kill joy but - ) |
|
| |
Would rhythmic gymnastics involve the crowd tipping the gymnasts? |
|
| |
But they're eight years old!! [Don] |
|
| |
Many competitors are under 18. |
|
| |
Pool water is about 26 degrees centigrade. That's cold. I do not have to illustrate the effects of cold water, though I can say the members of the members of the men's swim team might be ridiculed. |
|

| |
I cant imagine nude wrestling, that would be just gross, all that u would have to do is grab the guys bare nuts really hard and u win. |
|
| |
Clearly, wrestling is one of the most ancient of Olympic events and was performed by 'Jocks' (No 'Och Aye' jokes!) in the altogether. As for the grab thing - why else do you think that they were greased? |
|
| |
weightlifting - eeew. 300kg men resting their jewels on the mat in the clean and jerk. |
|
| |
"Well hello, one judge is clearly impressed by the freestyle gymnastics so far. I'm sure he wishes the judges didn't have to be naked as well." |
|
| |
We've got to do this in London in 2012 now.
So [Ian], you'll be renting out your house for some extortionate sum for most of 2012 I expect? |
|
| |
The big way to get away from all of the illegalities is to claim tradition. Then watch as Fox news destroys the Olympics and the world gets set aflame... plus we can laugh at the male wrestlers and swimmers. |
|
| |
I could finally do the pole vault using my own anatomy. |
|
| |
Hygienem issues.... Who am I to talk of hygiene though? |
|
| |
I figured the more links the better |

No you couldn't. |
|
| |
gnomethang: you, um, speak from experience...? |
|
| |
No, DrC, but I hold these truths to be self evident....
....and I can't ignore friction either! |
|
| |
[gnomethang] only knows cause I slept with his mom last night. HA! |
|
| |
I dont want to see the bouncing wang as a result of a 100meter dash! |
|
| |
I can't believe the Beijing Olympics organisers didn't pick up this idea. |
|
| |
You should start lobbying Lord Coe.
"Dear Lord Coe,
How's about letting them do it in the buff?
Yours aye, hippo" |
|
| |
Many competitors are under eighteen, and no, that doesn't make it illegal. There are a lot of naturists under eighteen, and minors are not banned from nude beaches. Even in movies, underage nudity isn't illegal if it's non-sexual. |
|
| |
That said, it'll never happen. |
