Olympic runner Nick Symmonds will work out naked until he finds an apparel sponsor
US Olympic runner Nick Symmonds has a tremendous sense of humor. What he does not have, however, is an apparel sponsor.
The Winter Games in Sochi begin in just over a month, and Symmonds is still searching for some financial assistance. Until he finds it, he will have to alter his training routine.
On Wednesday, Symmonds said he will be forced to work out in the nude until someone offers him a contract.
For the first time in 7 years I am without an apparel sponsor. Forced to workout in the nude till a deal is signed pic.twitter.com/FFLHNFOjV6

Paris Hilton might enjoy watching Symmonds run around with nothing on, but if “Seinfeld” has taught us anything it’s that even the most physically fit body can be tough to look at during strenuous activity. What are the apparel companies waiting for? Symmonds almost set the record in the beer mile last summer. Need I say more?
UPDATE: Sorry, ladies — Symmonds lasted hardly a day without a sponsor. He’ll be wearing clothes while training from now on.
I enjoyed training in the nude, but prefer this beautiful new singlet. I am now partnered with @brooksrunning! pic.twitter.com/LO8iwBvpTr
