Ep 114 - The Olympics Pt 1 - Ancient Origins to Parisian Potties
Description
Welcome to Part 1 of the Olympics! We will talk about the very nude ancient games, tell some probable myths about huge men who carried cows on their backs into a fighting ring, and once again marvel that Nero was able to pull off winning every event!
Then, we talk the modern games. In 1894 French rich-dude Pierre de Coubertin decided that what the French were missing was sportsmanship and physical fitness. One thing led to another and now we're here getting ready for #paris2024!
In the next few weeks, we'll explore the Berlin 1936 Olympics, The Munich massacre, and the Atlanta Bombing. We promise to also add fun things like The Jamaican Bobsled Team & the time Kerri Strug did a vault with one broken foot.
