Olympic Scandals
The Olympics are supposed to celebrate the best of humanity—but history proves they also bring out cheating, chaos, and some truly bizarre moments. This episode we decided to just gossip about some random scandals that happened during the Olympics throughout the years. rom bribery in the ancient Greek games and the absolute disaster of the 1904 marathon, to Nazi propaganda at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the iconic 1968 Black Power salute, the drama has always been part of the spectacle.
Unlike our our doping episode, this one contains an infamous scandal that sparked core memories in the Queens' brains.

I just came to the realization that my parents are older than the civil rights act of 1964 (they were born in ‘62 and ‘63 respectively) and I’m only halfway through the episode 😪😮💨
Guys!!! Oksana Baiul won the golf in Lillehammer iirc, not Nancy Kerrigan. (A couple years older than you guys and also a Figure Skating geek!) Please do ser her short and long program (Oksana’s), it’s just spectacular. Also, I remember Nancy’s face in the podium. She was the OG “not impressed” face. Sorry for being a geek. Love your pod!!!!!!
Aaaah! Damnit, but thanks for the correction!
Just think somebody was like marathons aren't long enough....we should have ultra marathons!
