The Stupidest Event in Sports History - The 1904 Olympic Marathon
Ойын-сауық
The 1904 Olympic Marathon was, without a doubt, the stupidest event in sports history. The race contained cases of rat poison, hitchhiking, wild dogs, and several athletes nearly died. Enjoy!

Well done! William Garcia was my Grandfather. I'm happy he survived the race because I wouldn't be here. My Dad was born in 1913.😀

Was the 1904 Olympic Marathon the stupidest event in sports history? And why is the answer yes?

Lol Self explanatory
Its all good stuff here I know its an Olympic year and all and the story is 120 years old. It was just a shock when I first heard this story and is a wonder nobody died from this event.
I don't really get the bit about the rat poison. Was that the first time they'd ever tried it? Seems pretty risky lol
I wonder if the hitched hiking Marathon runner was the inspiration for the Fresh Prince of Bellair with Jeffery the hitch hiking butler Marathon Runner.
