Sure, Usain Bolt ran the 100m in 9.58 seconds.

But has he ever been strapped to a teatray and hurled headfirst down Mont Blanc? (or an artificial slide in a concrete chinese business park)

And he never shagged Hitler, murdered his rivals, or got high before races either…

But I know some people who did…

From Stasi spies to hot tub orgies, buckle into your bobsled for the wildest stories in Winter Olympic history…

Jamaican Jack needs to become a regular

Glad you mentioned Steven Bradbury in the intro - the story of him winning gold is even more incredible that what you said. He qualified from the quarters when someone else was disqualified, qualified from the semis with the exact same tactic (other people crashing), and you didn't mention he was Australia's first event Winter Gold after 50-odd years of Australia competing (most people from outside Australia don't realise that there are actually significant skifields and winter sports). "Doing a Bradbury" is understood by all Australians as a figure of speech. And as an aside the Australian voice on the commentary was a recently retired footballer starting out his career who in the 20+ years since was known as one of the most hated football commentators before now being Mayor of Perth. Both Bradbury and the commentator would have their own episodes on Australian versions of the Upshot, their lives are so crazy.

Brilliant ep as always. One thing I would say this is the exact kinda episode that George Cooper needs to be in and I can’t explain exactly why

One of the reasons it was known to be Mallory’s body- like any good Englishman on holiday he had his name label sown into his jacket. All laundry mix ups by slapdash Nepalese could be avoided.
