@thefactflashback: Imagine an Olympic marathon so chaotic, the 'winner' drove half the race and the actual victor was literally given brandy and rat poison by his trainers just to finish. This wasn't fiction, it was the actual 1904 Olympic Marathon, an absolute disaster of heat, dehydration, and some truly wild 'performance enhancers' that makes it one of the most bizarre events in Olympic history. Follow Fact Flashback for more wild history you won’t believe. #fyp #foryou #historyfacts #olympics #weirdhistory
