On a
stunning beach in Rio de Janeiro a group of brave souls have stripped
the Olympic Games right back to basics as they pay tribute to the
ancient Greeks by staging their own games - in the nude.
The
dedicated naturists are competing every weekend in a series of
high-spirited and energetic contests that toss all inhibitions out of
the window.
The organisers of the Abrico Beach 'Olympic Games' say anyone can take part - as long as they are prepared to strip off.
They advise
all competitors: 'There is no point worrying about 'what you look like
when you bend over to pick up the ball, getting embarrassed when you
fall over with your legs up in the air or bothering about your bits
jiggling as you sprint for the finishing line.'
Naked
Olympic 'events' include football, beach volleyball, swimming,
sprinting and race walking. There are also a few non-Olympic sports such
as the tug of war, surfing, which is due to debut at the 2020 Olympic
games in Tokyo, and Peteca, a traditional game in Brazil which is played
with a hand shuttlecock.
The
stark-naked games on the dedicated naturist Abrico beach in Grumari, in
the west zone of Rio, are a far cry from the rigorous and heavily
contested competitions taking place just nine miles away in the Olympic
city in Barra da Tijuca.
