The Weird and Wonderful History of the Olympic Games

Shownotes Transcript

This episode looks at the very first winners for Team GB in the Olympics and how, these two individuals, were not as red, white and blue as they first may seem.

This is the fourth of a 20 part short nugget series charting the strange and fascinating people, sports, cheats, boycotts, doping and so much more that have happened in the Olympic Games since 1896.

It is just weeks now until the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Each episode is stuffed full of the quirky and the crazy and in their no more than 15 minutes make your eyebrows raise, your head scratch and your lips smirk.
