Best Answer

The ancient Olympics were done naked because the ancient Greeks did not have the same hangups as modern people have. Nudity was much more acceptable and public bathing was common. Also, activities that made people sweat heavily were more practically done naked since clothes weren't as easy to wash in those days.
