Features

32 Terror in the Thames (Cover Story)
As a goose-eating monster lurks in the waters of London's Olympic Park, Neil Arnold considers the long line of unlikely beasts - from alligators and giant catfish to sharks and sea serpents - spotted in the capital's great river and its tributaries.

42 I Say, Old Sports!
For all the hype surrounding London 2012, the original Greek Games were undeniably much more fun, what with naked wrestlers, lethal trumpet contests, multiple chariot pile-ups and boxers who turned into wolves. Barry Baldwin celebrates the outrageous oddities and farcial fatalities of the ancient Olympics.

48 Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Part 1: The Lazarus Syndrome
When footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch and his heart stopped for a full 78 minutes, his subsequent recovery was hailed as a miracle - not least by Muamba himself - but his experience was far from unique. Ted Harrison considers a number of recent cases in which being pronounced dead is not the end of the story.
