1.
Club Deportivo X is the second oldest club in El Salvador. The club
was founded on September 17, 1923 by a group of local citizens.
They have won ten Primera Division Champions titles. The club has
the fourth highest total of major honours won by an Salvadoran
club.
Originally named Tecún Umán, the club was soon renamed in honor
of X, who ,though not from El Salvador, almost became the first
Latin American to achieve something on 24th September, 1923 in a
fateful evening in New York.
The club's colors are red and blue because of those worn by the
football team that X supported in his lifetime - Club Atlético San
Lorenzo.
Identify this gentleman, after whom the club has been named.

Luis Angel Firpo
Who knocked Jack Dempsey out of the ring

2.
Nicknamed the 'Sunshine super girl' early in her career, X is 12th on the list of all-
time singles grand slam winners level with Venus Williams and ended her career
with 19 single titles in all.
If the fairy tale came true, there were also many times when the clock struck
midnight, with her story marked by episodes where -- as with so many ______-- she
was often treated as a second-class citizen.
There was a regular fear of being taken away from her parents.
“Whenever a car would come down the road, my mum would tell us to hide 'or else
the welfare man would take you away,” she recalls.
Even as an adult she was acutely aware of how in Australia, ______ could be
excluded from everyday life -- even after winning Wimbledon.
"Before I started traveling overseas and I was with a friend and in those days I loved
music and I loved disco dancing so she took me out but I wasn't allowed in.
"That happened again in Brisbane and I was with two friends and this was just after
I won Wimbledon. I said 'don't worry we'll go somewhere else'. I think it hurt my
friends more than me.“
Give this tennis great, who had to overcome racism all along her journey to the top.

3.
Out of all editions that have taken place since 1829, the
one in 1877 is one of the most interesting ones. At the
centre of it all is a man called John Phelps, who is
suspected because he was reportedly over 70 and blind in
one eye. Historian Tim Koch, notes that there is “ a very
big and very entrenched lie ”, including the claim that
Phelps had announced, “ ____ ____ ...... to ______ by
six feet.”
Phelps's nickname "Honest John" was not an ironic one,
and he was not (as is sometimes claimed) drunk under a
bush. He did have to do his work without the assistance
of finish posts. With no clear way to do what he had to,
he pronounced the ‘safest’ result. He was vehemently

The only dead heat in the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race.

4.
Shown here is the picture of a player
who played in the NFL for the
Houston Oilers, Buffalo Bills, Seattle
Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
He had an average career in the NFL
and retired without much fanfare in
1979 with the 49ers. He was inducted
into the 2009 USC Athletic Hall of
Fame.
However, he came into prominence
15 years after his retirement in an
event that left the entire world
shocked.

Prior to turning professional, X won a bronze medal at the inaugural 1974
World Amateur Boxing Championships in Havana. Two years later, he capped
off his amateur career by winning a gold medal in the light
heavyweight division at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, by defeating
Cuban great Sixto Soria.
In only his eighth professional bout, X won the undisputed world heavyweight
championship when he beat Muhammad Ali on February 15, 1978, in what
was considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
Besides being heavyweight champion and his characteristic gap-toothed grin,
X gained notoriety for the disaster which befell his career following the loss to
Ali.
Y is an American former boxer who was an Olympic gold medalist and world
champion in the light-heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.
Nicknamed Jinx, which spawned the nickname of his right hand: The ______
Jinx, Y moved up to heavyweight and as underdog beat the long-reigning IBF
heavyweight champion Larry Holmes; in doing so, Y became the first reigning
light-heavyweight champion to win the heavyweight title. In his final fight, Y
was knocked out by Mike Tyson in 91 seconds, the only defeat of his

Leon Spinks and Michael
Spinks

8.
Identify this former “World
No. 1” , who in 2011, won his
country’s National Golf
Championship and is currently
the highest ranked Golf player
from his nation. His dream is to
take part in the Rio Olympics,
having already achieved
success in the 2000 Sydney
Olympics.
However, the defining moment
of his life came in 1996, and
even today, he is the last person
to achieve a particular “double”
.

Yevgeny Kafelnikov
The last man to win both Singles and Doubles at
a
Grand Slam

9.
John Arlott’s asessment of X in 1984:
“ X was pre-eminently a highly skilful manipulator of medium-pace seam
bowling. A thoughtful and sensitive cricketer. He, too, helped out as captain for
a couple of difficult seasons, though from a sense of duty rather than real
enthusiasm for the post. It appealed to his astute cricket brain but not to his
essentially amiable personality. He was never a bowler to settle for the
slavishly defensive; but sought to attack and to outwit opposing batsmen.
It is less often remembered that he himself once hit four consecutive balls
from Dennis Breakwell of Somerset for six. He also set what was then a club
record of nine sixes in a championship innings, against Gloucestershire at
Swansea in 1973. Those memories were some balm for him. In 17 seasons
he scored 7129 runs and held 148 catches but, most important, he took 993
wickets without, however, taking a hundred in any season. ”
Despite his record, he will always be remembered for his involvement in a
certain “first” in First-class cricket.
Give me X and his claim to fame.

X appeared in the playoffs every season in his career, including the
NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998 with the Utah Jazz. He played his
final season with the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he played his
third Finals in 2004. However, X has the most career post-season
losses of any NBA player ever, with 95. He scored the second most
career points in NBA history (36,928), and holds the records for most
free throws attempted and made. X was inducted into the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010 (twice – for his
individual career, and as a member of the 1992 United States men's
Olympic basketball team).
Also, 8th in the list for most career points in history is Y, who played
in both the ABA and the NBA from 1974 through 1995. Y won his
only NBA championship in 1983, when he was both the league
and Finals MVP with the Philadelphia 76ers. He was inducted into
the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in his first year of
eligibility in 2001.

12.
Dana Ingrova is a former javelin
thrower. She won the gold medal and
the silver medal in the Olympics
during her time. She was the
European champion in 1954 and
1958. She also set a world record in
1958 (55.73 m) when she was 35,
making her the oldest woman to
break one in an outdoor athletics
event, at that time.
However, most people have said that
her husband was the more prominent
one in her family, having surpassed
Dana’s remarkable achievements.

X, an eight time All England Championship winner,
is one of the most famous players in the history of
the sport and one of the greatest badminton players
of all time.
Y luckily met X in the Swedish Open and beat him.
When reporters asked Y about beating his idol, he
said humbly,” I could have beaten him 15-0 in the
last game but I couldn’t do that to my idol, I
conceded a point and finished the game.”
Give me Y, and his idol X.

5 Questions
5 points for each
+5 if full house

Audience Question
His younger brother Harald was a genuinely good footballer
and represented the Danish National Football team at the 1908
Olympics. X, though not as good as Harald, was a passionate
footballer and joined his brother to play for the Copenhagen
based Akademisk Boldklub (Academic Football Club), playing
as a goalkeeper.
When the king of Denmark Christian X met him, he is said to
have been impressed by X’s footballing skills.
His son, Ernst emulated his uncle and played field hockey for
Denmark in the 1948 London Olympics.
X, please.

Question 1
X was a fan of motorcycles since his youth, and
bought a 250-cc Moto Guzi racing motorcycle and
competed recreationally in mountain races for the next
few years.
It is said that racing at the Altvater in Germany in
1928 he nearly beat the German champion Walfred
Winkler, but he stopped a lap early thinking that the
race was over.
But X was married in the early spring of that year, on
March 6, well before the motor racing season
started. Thus, X had to give up on his motorsport
dream and go back to his other career.

Question 2
Andre the Giant was arguably the greatest professional
wrestler of all time. But he had very humble beginnings.
As a child, he displayed symptoms of his gigantism very
early, reaching a height of 191 cm (6 ft 3 in) and a weight
of 110 kg (240 lb) by the age of 12. In 1958, when 12-
year-old André’s acromegaly prevented him from taking
the school bus, X who was Andre’s dad’s card buddy and
neighbor in rural Moulien, France, volunteered for
transport duty, as he was only one in the village who had
a car. It was a standing gig, with no other
passengers. André recalled that they mostly talked about
cricket, as X was a former first class cricketer.

Question 3
Identify this former British
Commonwealth Games
athlete, who was a keen
footballer in his youth, and
he played alongside Vinnie
Jones, former Wimbledon
legend, for his school.

Question 4
In July 1999, X was one of 300
women who vied for a
semifinals berth in the US
Olympic archery team to
participate in the Sydney 2000
Summer Olympics. She placed
24th of 300 and did not qualify
for the team, but participated as
a wild-card entry in the Sydney
International Golden Arrow
competition.
But her life changing moment
came sometime later in 1999
and she decided to leave archery
for her other career.

Question 5
X is a laicized Irish Roman Catholic
priest who is noted for his interference
with the running of the 2003 British
Grand Prix and the 2004 Summer
Olympics men's marathon in order to
promote his religious belief that the end of
the world is near. X pushed
Brazilian Vanderlei de Lima, who was
leading the race, into the crowds alongside
the course in the 2004 Men’s marathon.
De Lima later went on to win the Bronze
medal and X was sentenced to 12 months
in an Athens prison.
Give me X, whose name is uncannily
similar to his countryman, who makes

Niell Horan,uncannily similar to Niall
Horan(from One Driection).

• Rule of 3 strike pounce will apply.
• Anticlockwise Rotation

1.
_______ is the act of running naked through a public
place as a prank, dare or an act of protest.
The 1996 Wimbledon’s Men’s singles final between
MaliVai Washington and Richard Krajicek was
interrupted by a lady. X, a 23 year old student, ran
onto the ground with an apron on, which she lifted
to reveal her vulva to the players and crowd. This
incident, thus became the first instance of ______ at
Wimbledon.
FITB and give me the name of the lady.

2.
“Everywhere I went, I was abused by the public. Nothing matters to
me more than playing for my country. I am a proud Indian and will
always be so. There were lots of things that happened in the run up to
the final. You find out. I will not speak about the politics that
contributed to the defeat in the final.”
X said this, talking about the 1982 Asian Games final, which turned
X’s life upside down, after India lost 1-7 to Pakistan. X was called a
‘traitor’ and was accused of deliberately conceding the goals.
He returned as a goalkeeping coach for the 1998 Asian Games in
which India won Gold. The position, however, only proved temporary
and he left the game once again. Four years later, X was hired to be
the goalkeeping coach of the India women’s national field hockey
team. The team won the Gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Who is X and what did his story inspire?

3.
X played 26 matches for the All-Blacks as a first five-eighth and
fullback, most memorably being the player to kick the winning
penalty goal against Wales in 1978 when Andy Haden dived out off
a lineout near full-time and was apparently awarded a penalty which
would secure the "Grand Slam" for the All Blacks against the home
country unions.
With Lynn McConnell, he wrote X : Double All Black: An
Autobiography in 1983.
However, he will forever be remembered for an incident that
happened in 1981, the aftermath of which saw his country rally
behind him and their team.
Very simple. What is X's greatest claim to fame ?

Emerson Fittipaldi, Jacques Villeneuve, Jim
Clark,

5.
The 1977 NBA Draft was definitely an interesting one. Otis
Birdsong, Marques Johnson, Walter Davis and Bernard
King were some of the notable picks in the Draft.
But according to NBA.com, the biggest shock came when X
was selected by the Kansas City Kings. X was selected in the
seventh round. The draft took place before the NBA shortened
the draft to two rounds.
Despite not actually playing basketball since high school, X,
in the early days, earned a football scholarship and attended
Graceland College (now Graceland University) but was
forced to stop playing football because of a knee injury.
X was flattered, but decided not to play in the NBA and
continue with the other career that brought X much fame.
Give me X.

X studied intelligence when he was a university student. He later
recalled that “when I looked at the life stories of geniuses” during his
student years, “I found the same thing….They all started at a very young
age and studied intensively.”
He “prepared for fatherhood” prior to marriage, reported People
Magazine in 1987, “by studying the biographies of 400 great
intellectuals, from Socrates to Einstein.” He concluded that if he took
the right approach to child-rearing, he could turn “any healthy newborn”
into “a genius.” In 1992, X told the Washington Post: “A genius is not
born but is educated and trained….When a child is born healthy, it is a
potential genius.”
In 1965 X “conducted an epistolary courtship with a foreign language
teacher named Klara.” In his letters, he outlined the pedagogical project
he had in mind and told her he had identified a common theme to build a
child prodigy— “early and intensive specialization in a particular
subject.”

Judith Polgar
X was obviously her father, Laszlo Polgar,
legendary Hungarian sports psychologist

8.
The 2016 Masters tournament will be remembered for a number of
reasons.
Danny Willet fending off Lee Westwood and the scintillating
defending champion , Jordan Spieth to win the title.
But to most golf purists, the most memorable event of the Masters
2016 happened on the 2nd day at the 18th hole. X’s approach shot had
gone long, way up to the back of the plateau beyond the pin. He was
66ft away from the hole, but barely tapped the ball. It rolled around to
the left, up on to the slope in front of the bunker, and curled around
towards the hole. For a moment it looked like it might slide in, but it
ambled to a stop 10 in or so short. The crowd sighed and X dropped his
putter and spread his arms wide, as if to say “I tried”.
He said later that he felt all the applause from the crowd meant “that
maybe I succeeded in what I tried to do as a kid: I hit shots. I hit shots
that they will remember.”
