Episode 18 - Cycling in All Its Very Strange Forms
Cycling sounds so....normal. But the events in the Games have been incredible, boring, weird and kooky. Here we look everything from the 12 hour nonstop dull but arduous event through to the blind tandem.
This is a 20 part series that coincides with the run up to Paris 2024.
This series charts the strange and fascinating people, sports, cheats, boycotts, doping and so much more that have happened in the Olympic Games since 1896.
Each episode is stuffed full of the quirky and the crazy and in their no more than 15 minutes make your eyebrows raise, your head scratch and your lips smirk.
