Olympic Trivia Quiz: Games, Records and Firsts

Sports · 12 questions · Medium

The modern Olympic Games have been running since 1896 and have collected an enormous amount of trivia along the way: sports that lasted one edition, records that stood for decades and host cities chosen for reasons that made sense at the time.

These twelve questions cover both the summer and winter Games, the medal records and a few of the first-time moments that changed the event. Explanations give years and figures.

No need to follow sport closely to do well here.

Before you start

  • Host cities repeat, so think about which edition a question means.
  • Medal records are usually held by swimmers and gymnasts.
  • A few questions cover discontinued sports.
  • One question per page. Choose an answer and you will see whether you were right, plus why.
  • Restarting is only available after you reach the final results page, so your level reflects a complete run.
