Three things:
1) That looks beautiful.
2) Where did they get a helicopter? (Can you rent those? What was their budget for this thing?) 3) Go preorder this now.
The ancient Greeks trained and competed naked in pretty much ALL of their sports, including running. Indeed, our word "gymnasium" comes from the Greek "Gymnos", which means naked.
One notable exception was the "hoplitodromos", a 2 to 4-stade (384 m. to 768 m.) race in FULL ARMOR. How'd you like to run a sprint carrying 50-60 pounds of bronze? (The good news is, they still ran barefoot!)
What's next - nude running?
