  • Behind the Questions: The One-Legged Gymnastics Champion
    This week, host Brandon Saunders uncovers the odd story of how the 1904 Olympics wound up in St. Louis, Missouri, of all places, and what a crazy, hilarious, disorganized mess they wound up being.
    The Olympic Marathon that year was especially insane. Runners poisoning each other, disqualifications, people running in street clothes, medalists who stopped mid-race to take a nap. You know, just like today.
