Hundreds of unclothed competitors are descending on Queensland this weekend to take part in the Nude Olympics.

The event is being held at Noosa National Park, 130km north of Brisbane, and is expected to attract more than 500 entrants.

Events range from the vaguely Olympic, including tug of war, marathons and beach sprints, to the distinctly un-Olympic, such as the best bum competition, conga lines and egg throwing.

Organiser Dean said: “There’s a whole bucket-load of stuff we do, but like I say, the emphasis is more on fun and camaraderie than out-and-out blood and guts glory.

“As in most events the umpire’s decision is final, but when we get down to events like the men and women’s ‘best bum’ or the ‘magnificent mums’ we usually have to fight the judges off with a stick because everybody wants to get involved with presenting those medals.”

All the best to those taking a crack at Olympic glory this weekend. Certainly gives a new meaning to Olympic rings.
