San Francisco Nude Olympics + San Francisco Weather = No Olympics
George Davis -- a former mayoral candidate known around the city as naked yoga guy --had pretty high ambitions for the second-annual Naked Olympics. Scheduled for Saturday, the competition was supposed to include barefoot races, ancient Greek and sumo wrestling, discus, broad jump, volleyball, touch football, and a kickboxing exhibition.

But the overcast, 50-degree Saturday didn't much appeal to the nudist crowd. When the games were supposed to begin, only eight stripped-down, goosebumpy guys had arrived. Among them was Rocky Angel, a beefcake who painted his face to look like a Mexican wrestler mask. But there was nobody to challenge him.
So instead of moving forward with a half-assed event, the host called it off.
"I'm still thinking of doing it next year," said Davis, who believes strongly that the Naked Olympics will eventually take off and explained this to SF Weekly last week. "What we are doing makes more sense and could easily become more influential than Bay-to-Breakers or Burning Man," he claimed.
