Maybe we’ll get past this garbage about guys in lipgloss and ponytails ripping up women’s world records across the board in time to keep women’s sports to women as well, instead of ruining them for the sake of mediocre men who can’t keep up with their own.

The thing that depresses me about the Olympics and other sports are the “governing” bodies such as the IOC and UEFA/FIFA in football. What is particular distasteful are their leadership (for example the odious Blatter at FIFA and the imperious Samaranch at the IOC). If not outright corruption then an abuse of privilege that would put our MP’s to shame.

They should revert to the original core of about twenty, all male events, to be held stark naked (gymnos) with the exception of race in full armour.
Unlike the original games, women should be allowed to spectate.
A permanent site for them should be established somewhere in Europe, but preferably not in Greece, for obvious reasons.
Separate female games should also be held, at four year intervals. Ancient sources indicate that nudity was optional, although axiomatic for Spartan women.
