About this listen

If he achieved legendary status in his sport through bouts against Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton or George Foreman, Muhammad Ali will also always remain indelibly linked to the great history of the Olympic Games, which he marked on two occasions and in two entirely different contexts, almost half a century apart.


It was not the Olympics which made Ali “The Greatest”, but his breakthrough role gave the boxer a unique place in Games folklore.


The Essential Olympic Stories podcast is brought to you by Eurosport in association with Bridgestone.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
