00:00The Winter Olympics have given us some moments so unforgettable that Hollywood just couldn't resist.
00:05Exactly. Have you always wondered, what were some of the games that did not survive the cut?
00:10For instance, Ski-Joring. Picture water skiing only on snow, and not pulled by a boat, but by a horse.
00:16That game was put back in the barn in 1928.
00:20Ski-Ballet. Now think figure skating, but on skis.
00:23Imagine trying to pirouette while racing downhill at 80 miles an hour.
00:26Even the Olympic Committee said something like, look, synchronized swimming is weird enough, but this, it's just too much.
00:33We all know the iconic logo, the Olympic ring.
00:36But have you always wondered, why exactly are there five Olympic rings?
00:39The Olympic rings were designed back in 1913.
00:42They didn't start with continents, they started with a very nice looking logo.
00:47Five rings is balanced, elegant, symmetrical. It truly is perfection.
00:51Yes, sir, but there are seven continents.
00:54Eh, who's counting?
00:55Always wondered. Stream it now, wherever you get your podcasts.
