Send us Fan MailWe open this episode with another installment of "Bidet Mate", then discuss the origins of the Ancient Olympics, and the history of the Modern Olympics, which began 1,500 years later. We also cover the first few Olympic Games, which were plagued by issues caused by poor planning, bad luck and plain old ineptitude. But far and away the best story we cover is that of Cuban long distance runner Felix Carvajal, who is definitely one of the more interesting and colorful characters in Olympic history.
