Eleanor Holm, and 1936 is right. The drink was on the trans-Atlantic ship
At what Olympics were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd "Gold, Silver, Bronze" medal awards established?

I think Olympic swimmers now get kicked off the team if they do NOT get drunk at the Games.

Medals is a guess but how about 1904?
Del Webb was Topping's co-owner. Larry McPhail had a smaller piece. Webbfronted the hotel/casino the Sahara. All of the Big Six were run by fronts for various "Families." Dunes, Sands, Flamingo, Sahara, Desert Inn, Tropicana.
Why did Rick DeMont lose his gold medal?
What American swimmer won a relay gold in 1976? And talked openly about the physical attributes of the East German "female" swimmers.
Note: first edition of my post incorrect.

DeMont lost his medal for being an idiot.
1904 is correct for medals, in the nearly forgotten Olympics in St Louis
South Korea was very creative in finding housing for visitors in 1988. What was one of the most unusual offerings?

At the 1976 Olympics wife and I stayed in at closed hospital. A nurses strike About day 5 we found out the floor above still housed the insane who had been hospitalized.
Right, of course, on Mathias.
That's great about 1976 in Montreal. But Korea took another direction in 1988. A lot of high class brothels made rooms available, at the same time that they went about their regular business. My husband stayed in one because the accommodations I and our two kids were in only had space for three people. Every time he came in the door, someone had to shout up the stairs to indicate that he wasn't one of the regular types of customers.

This article says it was about 25 miles. It also says that Pheidipiddes' full mission was actually closer to 300 miles.
