Subject: 2012 Olympic Challenge - COMPLETE

Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Jul 01 12

With the Olympics running their course in London very shortly and the arrival of several tickets in certain members' real-life mailboxes (lucky bums) it only makes sense to commemorate the event and begin our anniversary month with a challenge looking at several different Summer Olympic events.

...I mean that in a quiz-writing way, and if you know the challenges, you know we're doing the opposite of 'just looking at sports'.

For this challenge, you'll need to choose one of the following sports and use the event name (in its entirety) in a title of your own creation. For example, you could choose 'Polo' and write a quiz called 'Marco Polo's Adventures' or you could choose 'Swimming' and write 'Swimming with the Fishes'. There are ten events listed below, but you can find more by checking link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Olympic_Games#List_of_Olympic_sports
We need sixteen quizzes to finish the challenge and your quiz can not be submitted to Sports.

Remember to pay attention to all necessary category guidelines and make sure you're in the most specific category possible.

Much thanks to Aussiedrongo for the challenge idea.

Good luck and let the games begin!

Drat, I clearly focused too much on the pun and not enough on what was already claimed. Sorry, habitsowner!

Got my Cricket in and isn't it the strangest thing how a quiz turns out in a manner nowhere near where you thought you were going when you selected the title :) Just a thought.......

I'll claim Tug of War, on the basis that this was one of Britain's best sports during the time it was part of the Games.

I am going to write an entertainment whodunit for this challenge, so it might be a bit longer than norm for me.
