Today is Monday, July 14, 2025, and on this day in 2022, Jim Thorpe was finally re-instated as the sole winner of the 2 Olympic gold medals he won at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm.

First we'll learn about the logistics of Thorpe's events - the decathlon and the pentathlon - and then we will mee Dr. Matt Andrews, an American sports historian and professor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Dr. Andrews will tell us how Thorpe's story played out, and why it took over a century to make things right.
