Accept "United Kingdom" and "UK" for England; also, accept "USSR" and "Soviet Union" for Russia as Russia was part of the USSR when the Olympics were there. Also, the Olympics in 1916 were cancelled due to World War I.

Just to echo here, because it looks like this may have been your first quiz. The correct answers for 1908, 1948, and 2012 are the United Kingdom (you could accept England). There were no Olympics in 1916. I suggest removing 1940 and 44 instead of driving yourself mad trying to find all of the ways someone might type "none". You could also add in 2016 since those games have been awarded.

A few problems, these are just more that I saw, there's no use in repeating what's already been said: 1) the 1906 aren't recognized by the IOC; 2) The Olympics aren't awarded to countries, but to cities, so this quiz would make a lot more sense the other way
