	Beavis: hehe....his name is Dong Dong.

	What about Field Hockey, Handball and Badminton?

	david6k:	Aug 10th, 2012 at 18:36 GMT		7 points
	Very odd that there are no Hungarians listed for water polo. They've won twice as many times as any other country (mens) and won the last three in a row - though not so strong this year.

	Only 85% got Michael Jordan for basketball?

	Guinevere:	Aug 10th, 2012 at 18:53 GMT		0 points
	@Tommy_C, I unfortunately got so caught up in going through every sport I could think of that I stopped looking at the athletes listed. Duh. So I missed Jordan. Also, foiled by my apparent inability to spelled triathlon. On the plus side, I finally remembered what track was called (again, duh), since it's apparently not called running or racing. In my defense, I have Friday brain.

	The only reason I got Trampoline was because I remember watching Dong Dong last week in all his glory.

	Please allow 'synchronised' as well as 'synchronized' swimming

	SW_London_Shrimp:	Aug 10th, 2012 at 20:03 GMT		3 points
	Should accept "synchronised" for synchronized.

	way too much time. I got what I knew in a couple of minutes, then just kept guessing sports like fencing unitl it clicked. Needs to be shortened.

	I don't think adding the remaining 6 sports would require THAT much more space. Then you'd have the full 36-sport program of the London Olympics. As for playability - you have modern pentathletes and mountain bikers, sportspeople who (with the utmost respect) are mostly unknown to the wider public, especially judging by the miniscule percentages. Yet rowing is omitted, one Steve Redgrave's sport, as well as handball, a sport pretty popular across the Atlantic. Finally - Greco-Roman and freestyle are both only disciplines of the same sport, wrestling, in the same way that e.g. 100m sprint and shot put are both athletics disciplines. A good idea for a quiz, but not too well executed.

	China China and China? Easy, Table Tennis. Korea Japan China? Even easier, Judo

	ajaxfam:	Aug 11th, 2012 at 02:37 GMT		-4 points
	Glad to know that modern pentathletes are more widely known than mountain bikers. P.S. It would have been good to have Mary Decker-Slaney and Zola Budd in the clues for Athletics.

	i was dying watching the trampoline. every time he bounced i was like dong......dong.......dong

	26 percent for Primmore's Pride? Come on, think. We're better than that.

	Socc13r37:	Aug 11th, 2012 at 07:27 GMT		1 point
	No Kurt Angle? Would have liked to have seen that, as his gold medal win was so well-known, plus he trained for London.

	Its Inge, not Inga de Bruijn

	XBigWill1X:	Aug 11th, 2012 at 16:01 GMT		2 points
	Surprised there's no South Koreans for archery, it's their national sport and many national teams around the world are coached by Koreans.

	So happy to see rhythmic gymnastics! Most people don't even know that sport exists.

	Actually, elanis, according to dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/medal), Merriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/medal), the Free Online Dictionary (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/medal), the American Heritage Dictionary (http://www.answers.com/topic/medal) and the OED (http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/medal), medal is indeed a verb (with both transitive and intransitive forms).

	handball, hockey ?? They are unknown(most of them). This is a bad one.

	jsftrey:	Aug 14th, 2012 at 00:31 GMT		2 points
	Did anybody else get table tennis because all clues where Chinese?

	Vails:	Aug 16th, 2012 at 17:26 GMT		0 points
	Very good clues for many of these, but I'm with the others who don't see why there couldn't have been every discipline represented. Also, I don't see any need to include past Olympians. All of the disciplines that included past medalists whom I recognized also had current medalists whom I recognized.

	No Rowing? An entire sport with 14 gold medals, which has been scheduled at every single Summer Olympics (albeit it was cancelled due to bad weather in 1896), completely ignored in favour of having FOUR types of cycling and two types each of wrestling and volleyball? Really?

	RS89:	Aug 18th, 2012 at 23:09 GMT		1 point
	@Khazar49 There were actually 26 sport, made up of 39 "disciplines" at the 2012 games. Not sure where you got the number 36.

	Khazar49:	Aug 19th, 2012 at 10:48 GMT		1 point
	@RS89: according to the official site http://www.london2012.com/sports/ Of course, we could argue about the merits of there being 4 different cycling sports, 2 volleyball sports or trampoline not being considered a gymnastics discipline, but it is what it is.
