Summary
John Akii-Bua came from nowhere to write a major chapter in athletics history by becoming Uganda's first ever Olympic gold medallist.

His victory in the 400 metres hurdles with a world record time in Munich in 1972 saw Akii-Bua rise to prominence.

But his destiny oscillated between glory and tragedy, his life coming to an end too early, aged 47 years.

The Essential Olympic Stories podcast is brought to you by Eurosport in association with Bridgestone.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
