MY BIG FAT GREEK OLYMPICS:

MY BIG FAT GREEK OLYMPICS: There was a piece in last week's Sports Illustrated about this summer's Olympics, which are scheduled to take place in Athens, Greece, and are facing logistical problems because several of the venues may not be constructed in time.
The piece also shares that organizers plan to stage several events at the same venues as during the ancient Olympics. Which got me thinking- why not further emulate the old Olympics, and have the athletes compete nude? We all know about the retro craze- wouldn't that be the ultimate throwback jersey, to wear nothing except for the name "Polydamas of Skotoussa" on your back?
