America’s very first Olympics in 1904, St. Louis. Alongside the 1904 World Fair, you’d imagine quite the spectacle, but no one expected what happened here at the Marathon, with the event nearly being the last in Olympic history. We discuss Fred Lorz & Thomas Hicks, the use of Strichnyne (stimulant or powerful rat poison?), the Russian delegation's lateness, the research on the athletes into dehydration, South Africa’s first Olympic entrants EVER, & Felix Carbajal whom was easily the classiest participant.
We all had a great laugh at what we see as a story too ridiculous for fiction from start to finish. A race course deemed by an official as “the most difficult a human being was ever asked to run over” makes things a bit less funny, but all the same still entertaining. We hope you enjoy the story.
