Nude Olympics A Complete Accident - NOT Intended

[matcom]

<snip>

ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece -- The ancient Greeks may have been famous for competing in the nude.

But they apparently didn't start out that way.

Historian Lamros Lambracos says the earliest runners wore little skirts. In one race, he says, a runner lost his skirt and won the race.

That ushered in the era of naked Olympics, he said.

Lambracos, who has taught at New York University and the University of Athens, worked as a volunteer at the ancient stadium in Olympia.

Other historians say the unfortunate runner did not win -- that he lost his loincloth and tripped on it.
