Summary
It's a miracle the Olympic Games continued after the absolute clusterf*ck that was its early history. From near-death marathons to shady organizers and displays of human cruelty like no other, the Olympics of the early 1900's were chaotic to say the least. When it looked like the Olympic Games would be canceled, the 1906 Olympics forever showed up to save the day, but they're just one problem... they technically don't exist. 😳 If you enjoyed this episode, then I'm sure you'll enjoy all the other episodes I have to offer!!
