Native American athlete Jim Thorpe won gold in both the pentathlon and decathlon at the 1912 Olympic Games. The part I didn’t know was that, on the day he was to compete in the decathlon, someone had stolen his shoes. He was able to find mismatched shoes (one of them from a rubbish bin) and won the gold in shoes that didn’t fit.
