Baker Beach Nude Olympics

Baker Beach in San Francisco is the home of the Nude Beach Olympics, organised by George Davis - a former nudist mayoral candidate. The games were inspired by the original Olympics which, as most people know, were performed in the nude for around 1200 years during the Hellenic and Roman Golden Ages. The original games were finally ended by Emperor Theodosius I, a Christian Fundamentalist, who declared the Games to be “too pagan.”

The events include Ancient Greek wrestling, Sumo wrestling, Discus, Broad jump, Volleyball, Touch football and there was a Kickboxing exhibition. Unlike the original games the Baker Beach Nude Olympics encourage women to compete on equal terms with the men and some expect to see a female Olympic champion one day.
