Since they are interested in the whole Olympics history thing, I am hoping
they bring back the original notion of having the athletes compete nude.  Oh
my, I would be sooo very there for the beach volleyball competition.
Actually, all those sports would be a lot more fun to watch.  Women's ping
pong would be cool, all the swimming competitors look like something carved
of the purest marble, oh my.

Now think of it this way: the stuffy rules committee and capitalist
advertisement committees would likely shy away from the whole idea, so what
we need are good computer simulations of top Olympic athletes competing
nude.  We could do photoshop or something, and use some of our digital image
magic to make it happen, ja?  It could even be used in those competitions
where nudity isn't really practical, like the equestrians, swordswomanship,
the downhill skiing etc.  Oh, there are buttloads of money to be made here.
