	Damn you, anglo names! You are of little help, Mark, Clarke, Johnson and Freeman.

	Although I had a lot of blind guesses in this quiz, it did at least help that you could narrow them down into groups - Berlin/Munich. Mexico City/Barcelona etc.

	Gotta say, even if you don't know any of these people, I think the names themselves are pretty good hints for the quiz. And dare I say, Muhammad Ali: one of the great moments in Olympics history was him lighting the torch.

	@mccullen - for those who know their track and field, Clarke, Johnson and Freeman are not difficult as they are all Olympic Champions and/or World Record breakers.

	"Atlanta or Barcelona" is the Olympic torch-lighting equivalent to "Ginger or Mary Ann." Those two set a bar of brilliance that might never be topped. For my money, even as a loyal American, I'd give the nod to Barcelona. Oh, and Mary Ann, if it matters.

	I manage to get at least half of them from the names of the people.

	Can't wait until the Winter version of this one, just for the purpose of seeing "1980 US Men's Olympic Hockey Team". I was 5 and it still resonates with me. I've often said that the three athletes I've ever met that REALLY floored me ("OMG, IT'S REALLY HIM!") were Gordie Howe, Muhammad Ali, and Jim Craig.

	Bah, got them all but the two Germans, had a 50/50 shot and missed.
