∙ 16y agoThe athletes usually competed naked, not only as the weather was appropriate but also as the festival was meant to celebrate, in part, the achievements of the human body. Olive oil was occasionally used by the competitors, not only to keep skin smooth but also to provide an appealing look for the participants. Competitors may have worn a kynodesme to restrain the penis.

Actually... The athletes had to preform in the nude to make sure that they were acctally men (women couldn't compete, nor could they watch) But... once, there was a woman who had a son participating, so she dressed up as a trainer. Once her son had won, she was sooo exited, that she jumped over the fence, but the outfit caught on it... all was revealed, so then everyonehad to be nude (not the audience though.)
