7. Q2
______’s _____, or medial epicondylitis, is tendinosis of the medial epicondyle on the
inside of the elbow. It is in some ways similar to its ‘tennis’ counterpart, which affects the
outside at the lateral epicondyle.
This is the most common elbow injury for rock climbers, whose sport is grip intensive.
The pain is normally caused due to stress on the tendon as a result of the large amount of
grip exerted by the digits and torsion of the wrist which is caused by the use and action of
the cluster of muscles on the condyle of the ulna. However, more than 90% of cases are
not actually from sports-related injuries, but rather from labor-related occupations with
forceful repetitive activities (such as construction and plumbing).
What is it?

10. Answer
Golfer’s elbow

24. Q7: Identify X and Y
X literally “duck game", is a game played on horseback that combines elements from polo
and basketball. It is the national sport of Y since 1953. X is Spanish for “duck", as early
games used a live duck inside a basket instead of a ball.
Accounts of early versions of X have been written since 1610. The playing field would
often stretch the distance between neighbouring ranches. The first team to reach its own
ranch house with the duck would be declared the winner.
X was banned several times because of the violence associated with it . Horsemen were
trampled underfoot, and many died in knife fights started in the heat of the game. During
the 1930s, X was regulated by Alberto del Castillo Posse, who drafted a set of rules
inspired by modern polo. The game gained legitimacy to the point that the President of Y
declared X to be Y's national game in 1953.

32. Q9: Which tournament? Where was it held?
The_______ Cup is one of the oldest field hockey tournament running till date in the
world and the oldest in India. Started in 1895, it is organised by Hockey Bengal and
used to be held at Y located in the Maidan region of Kolkata .The Cup was initially
organized by the Indian Football Association, until the Calcutta Hockey League took
over in 1905.
Dhyan Chand famously wrote in his autobiography “this tournament has had a non-
stop run. World Wars I and II did not affect the tournament. Threats of Japanese
bombs and actual bombings in Kolkata while the hockey season was on also did not
prevent the tournament from being held. That being said, it is sad to think that the
tournament had to yield to the communal frenzy which gripped the nation in 1946-
47.”

35. Q10: Who’s Y? Name the biopic.
The idea of the biopic came about when Robert De Niro read the autobiography
upon which the film is based. Although disappointed by the book's writing style,
he became fascinated by the character of Y. He showed the book to Martin
Scorsese in the hope that he would consider the project. Scorsese repeatedly
turned down the opportunity to direct the film, claiming he had no idea what the
book was about, even though he had read some of the text. After nearly dying
from a drug overdose, Scorsese agreed to make the film, not only to save his own
life but also to save his career. Scorsese began to relate very personally to the
story of Y, and in it he saw how the boxing ring can be "an allegory for whatever
you do in life”, which for him paralleled moviemaking, “you make movies,
you’re in the ring each time.”
