	Art competitions at the Olympic Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The art competitions were abandoned in 1954 because artists were contended to be professionals, while Olympic athletes were required to be amateurs.
		At the final Olympic art competition, the three categories were applied arts and crafts, engravings/etchings, and oils/water colours.
		The oldest Olympic medallist outside the art competitions is Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn, who won his last medal at age 72.

		The world has forgotten that literary "happenings" were once an essential ingredient of all ancient athletic festivals; for those well-rounded Greek crowds, the 90-pound-weakling writers could be as compelling an attraction as the beefcake that paraded stark naked around the stadium.
		Fine arts were elements of the ideal of the ‘all around man’ as citizen, soldier, and athlete.
		This concept of the ‘ideal’ was celebrated in various ways, including sculptural representations of winning athletes, often with idealization of the proportions of their physical form.
