Olympipod XIX - Mexico City 1968

The latest and most glorious season of the Olympipod has returned! And what a return – Ruth carries an injury into the recording, and has mislayed her notes. Chris brings facts and a chance meeting with an anti-doping officer. There's flops, Swedish beer bans, dislocated knees, and civil rights protests. And just how far can a tortoise jump? Not as far as a man.

Welcome back, to the Olympipod.
