    July 27, 1952 - Emil Zátopek becomes only person to ever win 5,000m, 10,000m, and marathon in one Olympics
    Jul 27 2025

    Today is Sunday, July 27, 2025 and on this day in 1952, Czechoslovakian runner Emil Zátopek became the first and only athlete in history to win the 5,000m, 10,000m, and marathon within one Olympic Games. In this episode we'll hear about Zátopek's first Olympic appearance 4 years earlier, discuss how his 1952 triumphs played out at the Olympics in Helsinki, and learn who also won gold just 10 minutes after Zátopek, cementing them both in the history books.
