July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 3) An Olympic gold medallist from Sydney 2000 vKzRTIW7s7o Denise Lewis (2)- King Rollo, Jahq Steve Redgrave (1)- Dobbo Team USA Men's Basketball (1)- CowTzy
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 4) An commentator that you associate with the Olympics T5jVMSlpZhg zFBxkWxlEPs David Coleman (1)-King Rollo Clare Balding (1)- Jahq No idea: (0)- CowTzy Wrong Answer: Guy Mowbray (0)- Dobbo It is a case of two answers for this question, with it being split by legendary sports commentator David Coleman and the all rounder sports presenter Claire Balding. CowTzy didn't go for an answer and doesn't get a point, unfortunately Dobbo I have looked and I don't think Guy Mowbray has ever commentated on the Olympics.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 5) An musical act that performed at the London 2012 Closing Ceremony. G-Du1DJxRjA 0NFV8dHrZYM A3SYJyq3A8Q -tRUQ1E1RLc Emeli Sande (1) Dobbo Elbow (1) King Rollo Kate Bush (1) CowTzy Spice Girls (1) Jahq For this question, it is a case of four answers with Emeli Sande, Elbow, Kate Bush and Spice Girls being answered for the question in what was a very memorable closing ceremony for London 2012. The chart impact of these four performers were: Emeli Sande: No3-Read All About It Pt III No53- My Kind of Love No59- Next To Me No71- Read All About It (Professor Green ft Emeli Sande) Elbow: No4- One Day Like This No58- Open Arms Kate Bush: No6- Running Up That Hill Spice Girls: No95- Spice Up Your Life
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 6) An Olympian you consider to be an legend uMugT6TrI_c Usain Bolt (3)- King Rollo, CowTzy, Jahq Jessie Owens (1)- Dobbo For this question, there were only two answers for this with the greatest sprinter I've ever seen Usain Bolt being the most popular answer. We also have Jessie Owens who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games by winning the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and the long jump.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 There's quite a good spread of answers for most of these questions so far. It's not going too bad for me up to this point.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 7) An venue that is hosting an event at the 2024 Summer Olympics k7svtLv4es0 Stade de France (3) King Rollo, CowTzy, Jahq Parc de Princes (1) Dobbo Onto question 7, and we have three of you going for the Stade de France which are hosting the rugby sevens, athletics and the closing ceremony. Dobbo went for Parc de Princes are hosting the football and will be the venue for the men's and women's football final.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 8) An city that you would like to see host an Olympic Games ZBL_YeDNEYA kMYRSVs5YiQ Q7mvGwqSfHg 7_6UEjsPuJY&t=40s Cardiff (1) Dobbo Amsterdam (1) CowTzy Manchester (1) King Rollo Istanbul (1) Jahq
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 9) An Olympic sport that you consider to be an flop. plKQ0lNFakM Football (2) CowTzy, Jahq Equestrian (1) Dobbo Golf (1) King Rollo
July 30, 2024Jul 30 I was thinking of Dublin for that one as well. Any of those four would be preferable to Los Angeles getting it again.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Aah I meant the Stade De France. Always confuse the two because they rhyme :lol: Also i didn't have a clue for the commentator question and just assumed the BBC legend Guy Mowbray might have done a few games.
July 30, 2024Jul 30 Author 10) An Olympic moment that you consider to be controversial Russian skater disqualified (1) Dobbo Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding (1) CowTzy Ben Johnson disqualified for failing a drugs test at the 1988 Olympics after winning the 100m final in a world record time (1) King Rollo Munich massacre (1) Jahq For the final question we have four different answers with the Russian skater Kamila Valieva who were disqualified from the team event at Beijing 2022 by failing a drugs test, she was only 15 at the time. The Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding incident where happened before the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer where Nancy Kerrigan was struck on the lower right thigh with a baton which was planned by her teammate's then husband Jeff Gillooly, her teammate being Tonya Harding. Probably the most infamous incident where Ben Johnson was disqualified from the men's 100m race and the world record stripped in what has been dubbed 'the dirtiest race in history. And the most tragic incident where 12 people were killed in an terrorist attack by the Palestinian militant group Black September.

July 30, 2024Jul 30 I was going to pick Zola Budd/Mary Decker for that one but was reminded of Ben Johnson after watching the Linford Christie BBC documentary.
