Sure, why not. I'm not afraid to prove I might be dumb. :D
1. The next three Olympics already have their cities selected. Name two of three cities that are hosting either 2010, 2012, or 2014. 2. Name one of the four cities that are being considered for hosting the 2016 Olympics. Each correct city past one is extra credit. 3. Three of the five Olympians that have won nine or more career gold medals are Americans. Name two of the American three…it’s much easier than you think. 4. In which Olympiad did Jamaica first field a team of bobsledders? 5. In which Olympiad did the first United States Men’s Basketball “Dream Team” compete? 6. This United States Olympic victory was voted the greatest sports moment of the 20th Century by Sports Illustrated. 7. At which Olympiad did Jim McKay famously say “They’re all gone”? |
