The Most Bizarre Olympic Disaster Ever: The 1904 Marathon
Om avsnittet
The 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon might be the most disastrous sporting event in history. Thirty-two men started. Only fourteen finished. The winner was given rat poison and brandy to keep him moving. Barefoot runners were chased off-course by dogs. And race organizers intentionally restricted water because they believed dehydration helped performance!
This is the true story of the 1904 Olympic Marathon. A race so chaotic it nearly killed the Olympic marathon forever.
