This is a fabulous story. For obvious welfare reasons, sport these days is much better, but I feel we have lost a little something by forbidding random people just turning up for the marathon...
What do naked wrestlers, a strychnine-laced cocktail, and an amazing Cuban postman who stopped mid-race for rotten apples have in common? The crazy St. Louis Olympics, of course. Read the full story (and please subscribe!) in my newsletter: marinaamaral.substack.com/p/no-maratho...
No marathon was more chaotic than the 1904 St. Louis Olympics
I'M BACK! And ready to tell you about the most ridiculous race in Olympic history
