Unfortunately, these questions were in the set:

Summer Games: The Gold Goes To [1]

7 Who won the women's 400m?

Lorraine Graham (Jamaica)
Cathy Freeman (Australia)
Katharine Merry (Great Britain)
Donna Fraser (Great Britain)



Summer Games: Summer Games: The Gold Goes To [1]

9 Who won the men's javelin throw?

Steve Backley (Great Britain)
Jan Zelezny (Czech Republic)
Sergey Makarov (Russia)
Raymond Hecht (Germany)

(Just in case anyone can't tell, I think that the problem is that the year of the games is not specified. I think the questions came from the Global Challenge.)

Have you played the quiz they were from or at least checked it? If the question was altered, it takes a while for the change to be made in the database and so it might not specify the year in GC while in the quiz it might in each question.

If you have, did you send a correction note? Otherwise it will never get fixed. Even if the quiz writer has left the site, and editor will take care of it.

You don't need to know the year, as only one from each list has ever won gold. Sergey Makarov is the only one who's not retired, so I maybe he'll win in London (3rd best thrower in 2012 so far).

Mugaboo made me realize... If you know that info, the year is not needed. If you don't, like me, the year won't help one iota. Haha
