The Olympics come from the ancient Greeks way back in 776BC They had competitions (which they had to do nude) and the winner would get a olive branch crown, they did many games and the women weren't allowed in the stadium because of the nudity of men, the reason they had to do it nude was to show they didn't have any weapons or protection, the only event they didn't do naked was the chariot racing and that was the only event women were allowed in the stadium for, the ancient Greeks ended the Olympics in 393AD then at 1896 they started the modern Olympics.
