- Chicago was originally slated to host the 1904 Olympics, but the organizers of the St. Louis World's Fair threatened to create their own, better sports event unless the games were moved.
- Despite bidding for the Olympics seven times, Detroit has never hosted it. In fact, the city declined an invite to bid in 2013 due to their near-bankruptcy.
Despite "winning" the right to host those Olympics by threatening to create a better sports event, St. Louis treated the Olympics as a sideshow at best.
The games spanned 5 months, with the events being nothing more but an additional attraction for the World's Fair.
Furthermore, in alignment with the "human zoos" that were a staple during those times' World's Fairs, non-white people were only allowed to compete in the "Anthropology Days", a couple of days with events exclusive to them.
If that wasn't enough, the Marathon was a story in itself. I'm running out of space, so I'll drop this absolutely pretty good gem of a video, so you can watch that story.
