	Description:		Sixty years ago Melbourne hosted the Olympics. In this episode we look at two events– one in the lead up to the Olympic games and the other during the games. The first is the Olympic Torch Hoax and the second is the ‘blood in the water’ water polo match between the Soviet Union and Hungary. Here’s a few YouTube videos of the water polo match, including one from a movie made about it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ca8P65IUkM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLoA5yLZ4l4 Executive Producer Kenny Dampier is still on other projects.
