	To reiterate what Ashgabat said in the archives, I think Pyeonchang should be a bonus answer.

	Damn you Yugoslavia...

	8 seconds left. Nearly forgot Belgium. I was only in Antwerp a few months ago too. Brain fade.

	I made this quiz two years ago. At the time, Pyeonchang had not been awarded the Olympics, and the world was just falling in love with Justin Bieber. Oh, the memories.

	@ClintT13 - West Germany is listed separately for 1972. If you guess Germany, you get both answers.

	Nice job on the bonuses.

	canada not in the right place order wise... sorry but i am one of those perfection freaks.

	treblat:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 20:39 GMT		7 points
	Why is Canada out of place?

	bdm6985:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 20:43 GMT		7 points
	probably because, like he said, he made it 2 years ago and at that time it would have been in that slot. just the number and year got changed but apparently not the slot its in.

	What about adding Israel as a bonus answer for hosting the Paralympic Games in 1968? (the only country to do so despite not hosting the Olympics in that same year)

	charolastra:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 21:13 GMT		4 points
	@RaLo18 That's a great idea; I agree. And it is true that Israel is the only country to have hosted the Paralympics but not the Olympics. But the practice of holding the Olympics and Paralympics in the same year did not begin until 1988 for the summer games and 1992 for the winter. Before that, they were always held in separate locations.

	Pyeongchang, South Korea, who is hosting the 2018 winter olympics, should be added as a bonus.

	double_a08:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 21:22 GMT		5 points
	Can't believe I missed South Korea considering I lived there right before the 88 Olympics took place and even have merchandise from it.

	bsd987:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT		44 points
	I forgot Greece. That's most certainly a fail.

	RaLo18:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 21:48 GMT		2 points
	@charolastra Actually, the summer Paralympics were always held in the same year of the summer Olympics (since the first games in 1960), and almost always in similar locations (though I haven't realized Israel is not the only occasion). In '72 and '76 the games were held in the same country but in a different city, in '80, probably because of the boycott, they were held in the Netherlands, and in '84 the US and UK co-hosted. You are correct about the winter games though.

	Where's the USSR? Moscow 1980 (S) doesn't seem to be there either under USSR or Russia. Unless I've gone blind.

	Which I have. Whoops.

	It's easy to overlook Greece. I think they're still finishing up some of the stadiums from 04.

	@gurufrisbee - interesting, I didn't realize they were officially the Republic of Korea with no "south." I have to confess though, while in West Virginia I have jokingly told people I was from "East Virginia" just to avoid confusion. :)

	Finally got them.

	tomstar86:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 00:50 GMT		20 points
	@gurufrisbee I'm afraid the UN seems to disagree with you on there being a country simply named "Korea". As someone who lives in South Korea, there seems to be just a little difference between North Korea and South Korea...oh, and not one Korean I've met has ever been offended by the name "South Korea". Now as for The Sea of Japan...

	tomstar86:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 00:51 GMT		4 points
	p.s. @gurufrisbee - Republic of Korea. OK. But where is this one "Korea" that you speak of? There are two VERY different countries both with Korea in the name.
