What about a Naked Olympics?
I heard that when they were proposing and designing the modern olympics in the late 19th century there were serious discussions over playing all sports nude! even in victorian times they were thinking about staying true to the original ancient greek games. i wish that argument had won out. i can't imagine it happening now, many cultures are so uptight about nudity. but i love the idea of putting everyone on the same level, breaking down all barriers between opponents and countries!

Much sport was nude indoors in the 19th century as it was modeled after greek ideals. Swimming too. I definitely agree with you and there are some leagues around the world. I've played nude volleyball with mixed gender and men only gay str8 bi doesn't matter just good fun. Certainly was amazing and liberating.
The very first time I ever 'got naked in front of people' (other than the gym showers) was after coming home from Mardi Gras in 1993, and seeing all the CRAZY public nudity on Burbon Street during the festivities, I then decided to attend the 'Nude Olympics' being held at Pine Tree, near Annapolis, Maryland later that summer - it's one of the oldest ASA (now AANR) nudist clubs in the United States I believe. I also used to go to White Thorn Lodge - sort of 'north west ' of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - not far from the Ohio state line the week after Labor Day when they hold a HUGE volleyball tournament that drawls folks from all over the states and Canada.

As recently as the early 1980's swimming nude in male only locations was the norm. and doing other indoor athletic activities nude in male only facilities or those with separate areas for men and women was not uncommon.
