NIC SAMPSON
MARATHON, 1904

On a blistering August afternoon in 1904, 32 athletes entered the 3rd ever Olympic Marathon in St. Louis, Missouri. Only 14 made it to the finish line…

What occurred in between was a perfect storm of incompetence, stupidity, betrayal, cheating, wild dogs and rat poison.

New Zealand comedian Nic Sampson (Starstruck (BBC3)) brings to life the incredible untold story of one of the dumbest sporting events of all time.
