Victories by athletes like Jesse Owens and the University of Washington 8-man rowing crew will provide a ray of light in an otherwise dark chapter of the Olympic story.

The Games Odyssey PodcastThe Olympic Story of George Eyser: Immigrant, Gymnast, and AmputeeOne of the most incredible stories from the 1904 St. Louis Olympics is that of George Eyser, a German immigrant to the US who competed in the gymnastics program. One of the most successful athletes of the third Olympiad, Eyser won six medals in one day, a record that still stands. This included three golds, all the more impressive considering that his left leg had been amputated and he competed with a prosthetic wooden leg.

The Games Odyssey PodcastSt. Louis 1904 Olympic Games: Hot Mess in the USThe first Olympic Games to be hosted by the United States is memorable for pretty much all the wrong reasons. It’s a story rife with American backstabbing, the first case of an athlete using a performance-enhancing substance, and displays of blatant racism. It’s a bit of a miracle that the Olympic movement survived this debacle. Find out why the third Olympiad nearly proved to be the nail in the coffin for the fledgling Olympic Games.

The Games Odyssey PodcastThe First Women of the Olympics: The Stories of Hélène de Pourtalès & Charlotte CooperOne of the silver linings – or rather, golden linings – of the Olympic Games in Paris 1900 was the inclusion of female athletes bringing us our first women Olympians since Kyniska of Sparta broke the marble ceiling in the OG Olympic Games. In this episode, we take a look at the lives of the first two female Olympic gold medalists: Hélène de Pourtalès of Team Switzerland who won as part of a mixed sailing team and Charlotte Cooper of Team GB who would make sports history in more ways than one, including becoming the first individual female gold medalis...

The Games Odyssey PodcastParis 1900 Olympic Games: The What-lympics?How did the modern Olympic movement go from a smash hit in Athens to an underwhelming masterpiece of confusion in Paris four years later? Were the new Olympic Games destined to be a one-hit wonder? Spoiler alert…no. But this is the story of the bizarre and wild Olympic Games of Paris 1900, where the organizers decided to purposefully NOT market the Games and instead feature events like hot air ballooning, motor sports, and life saving.

The Games Odyssey PodcastAthens 1896 Olympic Games, Pt. 2: Legends & LegacyIn this second part about the inaugural modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896, we talk about how the events at the first Olympiad felt a bit like the sports version of the Wild West. From starting over the fencing competition after three rounds just because the king showed up to watch, to swimmers literally dropped in the sea and told to swim to shore, to an early Olympics enthusiast signing up his college buddy for the tennis tournament as a surprise, these athletes became legends in their own right and established a legacy of sportsmanship and determination that...

The Games Odyssey PodcastAthens 1896 Olympic Games, Pt 1: Glory & GamesThe incredible true story - that is, stories - of the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896, including how the USA almost missed out, and the first ever marathon race. In this first part of two episodes about Athens 1896, we talk about the venues for the first modern Games, such as the not-so-modern Panathenaic Stadium, and the stories of athletes like James Connolly who defied his Harvard professors and became the first Olympic champion since 393 AD and Robert Garrett who pulled off an upset win in a sport he had never practiced.

The Games Odyssey PodcastReviving the Olympic Games: Greek Revolution, the Wenlock Games, and Pierre de CoubertinFrom Greek revolutionaries to eccentric French barons with epic mustaches, we examine the storied lives that led to the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896 and the birth of the modern Olympic & Paralympic movement. Jonathan and Sarah dive into the story of how the Greek Revolution inspired influential Greeks to revive the Olympic Games, how the Wenlock Olympian Games showed that the Olympics never completely died out, and the fascinating life of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who is credited as the Father of the Modern Olympic Movement and was an early champion of the power of education and sport...

The Games Odyssey PodcastThe OG Olympic Games, Pt. 2: Eternal GloryThe modern Olympic and Paralympic Games are modeled after the ancient Olympic Games that started a long time ago in a Greece far, far away. If you thought the myths and history of how the Games started were wild, wait until you hear about some of the epic ancient athletes who would’ve been sponsored by Nike - the Greek goddess, that is, not the sports brand. From wrestlers who were literally dying to win to a clever Spartan woman who discovered a loophole in the rules, these champions are still worth cheering for.
