G’day, I’m attempting to grow an idea that sprouted over a few beers at the pub. An idea which I think would be worth jotting down.

The Olympics almost didn’t happened - in its infancy failed attempts to bring the Games alive where hindered through expense and distraction. If the Stockholm games in 1912 were a failure the Olympic dream would have ended. Luckily the 1912 games were a resounding success and are known as ’The Swedish Masterpiece’. But it nearly wasn’t the case...

Olympic gold medals are no longer made of solid gold - they were, however, in 1912.

Dastardly train robbers decided to steal the medals. Another distraction that would ruin the future of the games perhaps?

Insert a crack team of historically notable athletes - Olympians - to help keep the Olympic dream alive.

I would love to receive some feedback about my plot and would be open to any ideas and correspondence.
