Episode 283 - 1904 St Louis and the Greatest Olympics Ever
from Weird World Podcast · host Dean Wehrli
There was foxy boxing. There was barrel jumping. There was tug of war. There was a super racist thing called "Anthropology Days." And there was a grueling, near-lethal marathon almost won by a guy who bummed a ride for half the race, and was won by a guy carried across the finish line while jacked up on strychnine. There was the 1904 St. Louis Olympics.
