Topic: 2012 Olympic Challenge - COMPLETE

Posted by: kyleisalive

Subject: 2012 Olympic Challenge - COMPLETE
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 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!

I do feel a certain degree of obligation to contribute here so after some pondering, and sticking to a personal vow of only undertaking one challenge at a time, I will pass on the Commission and claim Diving please. I have a 'Back to School' challenge completed with pen and paper so only need to type it up ready for submission.

Mine's ready to submit but it's being held up by a Mothman. The quiz must have scared the editor to death...although with that quiz I would highly doubt that!

Sailing will be coming along soon...I hope!
