I didn't intend to write an Olympic trilogy, but the Games only happen once every four years and I have to do this every week. But last week he regaled a trilogy of Olympic yarns that more people deserve to be aware of. So it transpired the tiny African nation broadcast a radio advertisement seeking swimmers for their Olympic team. She then qualified for the American Olympic team and proceeded to become the first female track medallist in Olympic history, winning the 100m after organisers were forced to include women's events. In a field of 58, the Tunisians finished 56th, 57th and 58th in one of the worst performances, yet greatest tales, in Olympic history!
