I vote if you want to compete in the Olympics you do so in the manner of the ancient Olympics and get nekkid.

One should wear the traditional garb ( the gi) out of respect of the sport.

I'm TOTALLY with you, regarding competing naked.

Alrighty then... off to watch the women's beach volleyball, women's swimming, women's diving, women's synchronized swimming, women's soccer, women's gymnastics, heck, ALL the women's events! (except maybe the power lifting... those chicks scare the crap out of me)

Be right back;-0

I read an article about how the hijab could be dangerous......... I think either she should get out of the competition or be willing to follow the guidelines due to safety reasons.

yep, the sumo's should cover up -- they aren't attractive.

lol

I just wish Sumo wrestlers would cover up, but I guess that's not an Olympic sport, is it ?

Hmmm...naked Judo.  There's an image for you..lol.

Seriously though, I think it should be fine to allow those from other countries to dress in their traditional dress if they want.  Why not?

LOL, Im with you!
