Cold weather should keep streakers from crashing the Olympic Games in British Columbia, but it may not. Jump! World's Greatest Streakers (Wednesday, 10 p.m. on CBC News Network) is a surprisingly insightful documentary that takes us inside the mindset of the men and woman who crash sporting events naked. They are a pretty determined and competitive lot, and getting through Olympic security would be quite a coup. Why do they do this? Most believe they are "performance artists" and Europe's infamous Jimmy Jump truly thinks he is serving the greater good and bares his soul to the camera as he mentally prepares to crash a Barcelona/Real Madrid soccer game before 80,000 fans. Others are in it for the money (with websites painted on their skin) as well as the infamy. "We jump ... for fame and glamour," says Montrealer Ron Bensimhon, who wore polka-dot tights and a tutu to crash an Olympic diving event in Athens. They aren't always naked, Jimmy Jump (real name Jaume Marquet Cot) likes to wear personalized T-shirts (which he sells to make money for more jumps on his website), but they do suffer for their art. Super Bowl streaker Mark Roberts talks about the beatings he has taken from security guards. Bensimhon says he was knocked out in Athens after guards dragged him out of the pool. Jump/Marquet Cot may face a year-long prison term for crashing Roger Federer at the French Open this past summer. Still they jump: "It's turned my life around," Roberts says. "It's given me a goal in life."
