Show Notes

The Olympics didn't always look how they do now.

In years gone by many sports have been added and then axed from competition (looking at you hot air ballooning).

When we look back on the olympic sports of yesteryear one must ask the question, why were they added? And how do we get them back into the olympic arena?
