In the ancient Greek Olympic games athletes competed nude. Imagine the TV ratings if that tradition were revived. However I don’t think we would have any Saudi female participants in that case.

Interesting fact about the ancient Olympics. They competed nude so nobody could pull weapons on their opponent during competition. Especially in wrestling. Having a rock or knife gave one a distinct advantage.
