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!

The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

No Eric the Eel jokes please, but I've finally submitted this one. I'd like to thank Kyle for giving my suggestion for this challenge a run and also to all the quiz makers who have contributed.

I'm embarrassed by how long this has taken me, but the Cycling quiz is now in the queue. At least we stand a chance of finishing in 2012!
