The 1904 St. Louis Olympics are legendary for their chaos, controversy, and unforgettable moments. Held from July 1 to November 23, 1904, these Games were the first outside Europe and became infamous for bizarre events, lack of international participation, and a marathon so wild it included cheating, strychnine, and a runner who took a nap. In this episode, we explore the athletes who defied the odds, the marathon’s madness, and the lasting legacy of one of the most unusual Olympics ever. From Archie Hahn’s sprinting dominance to George Eyser’s inspiring gymnastics feats, discover how the 1904 Games shaped sports history.
