The Olympics are happening at the time of this recording, so of course we found you, poison pals, an Olympic poisoning. Yea, you heard that right. Jump in the water with us, because we're diving straight into this episode. Harini takes us back to the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, California, where a young Olympic swimmer, Zus Braun, gets mysteriously ill during her qualifying race. She feels a sharp prick on her leg and when she gets out of the water, she sees two American men exit the stadium. What or who is the culprit? Oh, we can't give it all away so fast! Listen in poison pals - on your marks, get set, GO.
