How the USA Ruined Its First Olympics as Host

The 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon was the most dangerous sporting event in history. Runners were chased by wild dogs, the winner was powered by rat poison, and the runner up cheated by driving a car. While today's Winter Olympics represent safety and science, the 1904 Games were a chaotic experiment. In this documentary, we explore the insane true story where athletes faced dehydration, raw eggs, and strychnine just to survive. From Felix Carvajal napping on the course to Thomas Hicks hallucinating across the finish line, this is the unbelievable breakdown of the race that almost killed the Olympics forever.
