How many Olympic sports can you name?

and pentathlon and triathlon were on the list, but all other track and field is grouped under "athletics". go fig.

 

Yeah. It's like diving with all the somersaults, only, you know.....on a trampoline ;D

Oh, and the Modern Pentathlon is the one with Horse riding, shooting, fencing, swimming and running.

 

Before the '84 Games, my boss assigned me to do previews on every sport. He said there are 21 sports. Starting seven weeks before the Games, do three a week and we'll be done by the Opening Ceremony.
I rolled my eyes, said OK, then tackled it.
It was interesting to discover that he considered Water Sports to be one sport. So the preview that day included: men's swimming, women's swimming, men's water polo, women's water polo, men's diving, women's diving, synchonized.
Athletics, one sport, including all the track and field events and marathons.
My boss was an idiot, my brain was fried.

 

I got 30. Missed trampoline and taekwondo.

 

Same as Inky. I knew there was a pentathlon but figured it would be under track (and would have never called it "modern pentathlon - what's out-of-style pentathlon?). Got Judo and couldn't think of taekwondo.

 

I missed fencing, trampoline and hockey -- and I only missed trampoline and (field) hockey because they were listed out of order. And I just blanked on fencing.

 

Sporcle can be quite a time-waster. Great site .

 

No, it gave it to me when I typed in ping pong.

 

I got 22, and also missed a couple that I thought would be included in "athletics," but I never would have gotten trampoline.

 

Trampoline was the biggest surprise for me too.

 

Whoo! Got 'em all. Had 27 of 32 by the time four minutes was over. Quickly got on a boat kick and got Rowing, Sailing and Kayaking. Somehow, I thought of Equestrian with about two minutes left, and then got trampoline with :32 left when I was thinking about "Old School." Go figure.

Awesome game.

 

Thirteen of 32 because I'm a true fan.
