 India Connect- He held the 400m WR, wrongly credited to Milkha Singh in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
 Romario was dropped from the 1998 World Cup squad, the official story was that he was injured, but coach Zagallo later confessed the coaching staff had feared Romario’s selfish attitude would ruin the team atmosphere. Romario was initially reduced to tears, but his sorrow quickly made way for anger. He blamed Zagallo and his assistant Zico (“a natural born loser”) and ‘retaliated’ by having the restroom doors of a nightclub he owned in Rio painted over with hardly flattering depictions of the two men he held responsible.
 In 1935, he toured New Zealand with the Indian hockey team and in the very next year, he was chosen for the Berlin Olympics and the cricket team to tour England. He picked cricket over hockey and although he played only 1 test for India, he is remembered greatly for having bowled the first delivery in the history of the RanjiTrophy.
 The lady in the picture is Megan Rapinoe. She helped the United States to a gold medal in the 2012 Olympic Games. She started all six games and scored the game-winning goal vs. Colombia.  Her performance in the semifinals vs. Canada stood out though & she became the first player, male or female, to do something at the Olympic Games.
 Contrary to popular assumption, she did lose two matches early on in her squash career. But she then embarked on an amazing unbeaten run that lasted from 1962 until her retirement, aged 40, in 1981. That period included 16 successive victories in the British Open, the premier squash tournament at the time and effectively the world championship.  She was so pre-eminent that it was rare for her even to lose a game, and in the 1968 British Open final she thrashed her unfortunate fellow Australian Bev Johnson 9-0 9-0 9-0.
 The only man to have played for three entirely different countries is ____________ - a Barcelona star throughout the '50s - who won six caps for Czechoslovakia, three for his native Hungary, and 19 for Spain.  The only man however to represent three (technically) different countries in the World Cup finals is the man in the pic(right), who played for Yugoslavia in 1998, Serbia & Montenegro in 2006, and Serbia in 2010.
 In 1985, when Boris Becker won his first men's singles title at the age of 17 years 227 days. The winner of the boys' singles that year, Leo Lavalle, was about four months older. Becker's triumph created several records: he was the youngest-ever winner, the first unseeded one, and the first German to win the title.  This also happened on the ladies' side in 1996: 16-year-old Martina Hingis took the women's singles, while Amelie Mauresmo, 17, won the junior girls' event.
 On a humid afternoon on July 28, 1920 Mohun Bagan was scheduled to play with Jorabagan in a Coochbehar Cup tie. Jorabagan took the field minus their star halfback Sailesh Bose, dropped for some unknown reason. Their Vice-President Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri pleaded for Bose's inclusion with the club authorities but it fell on deaf ears. What happened as a result of this?
 ________ ____ is a term used in several contact sports to describe a pass that subjects the recipient to heavy contact, usually unavoidable, from an opposing player. The term is applied to passes between team-mates in several sports including rugby, and football, it is now also widely used metaphorically. A metaphorical usage: “when Steve Waugh...handed over the captaincy to Ricky Ponting, he sent down one of sport's great _______ _____”, which highlighted the difficulty of Ricky’s task.
 There have been very few prominent players who have done this: the most recent one is the Russian Evgenia Koulikovskaya, who won some middle-ranking women's tournaments between 1995 and 2002. Luke Jensen, the American doubles specialist who won the French Open with his brother Murphy in 1993, was able to do it too. But probably the most successful exponent of this was the American Beverly Baker (later Mrs Fleitz), who reached the Wimbledon final in 1955, losing to Louise Brough. Earlier that year she and Darlene Hard won the women's doubles title at Roland Garros.
 Greg LeMond won the Tour de France in 1990 without winning a stage that year, while Oscar Pereiro did likewise in 2006 (he inherited victory when the origjnal winner, Floyd Landis, was disqualified). Both of them did win stages in other Tours. But the 1956 winner, France's Roger Walkowiak, is unique: he never won a stage at any point in his Tour de France career.
 In her senior year, this hall of famer scored 105 points in a game against Norte Vista High School. Consequently, she won an Olympic gold medal and is currently the head coach and General Manager of theWNBA's Phoenix Mercury.

 “It is thought that it was first observed in the Middle Ages. It found renewed popularity in the 19th Century, when the lords and ladies of England presented gifts to their servants in appreciation of the work they had done.”
 Herman Weingartner (Germany, 1896), George Eyser (USA, 1904), Konrad Frey (Germany, 1936), Viktor Chukarin and Mariya Horokhovska (USSR, 1952), Agnes Keleti (Hungary, 1956), Larisa Latynina (USSR, 1956), and Aleksandr Ditiatin (USSR, 1980) did manage to do it. The sole non-gymnast to do it was the Belgian archer Hubert van Innis, in 1920.
 Jacques Anquetil did it first, and it has been achieved since only by Felice Gimondi, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Alberto Contador.
 Esko Eckhardt, the sailor from Helsinki is the only Finn to win the Finn - the yachting class. He did so in the 1980 Moscow Games  This particular claim to fame is shared, only by Tadeusz Slusarski and Wladislaw Kozakiewicz - who, in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics respectively, became the only Poles to win the pole vault.
 It’s an exhaustive list of these 13 players- Craig Forrest (Ipswich Town), Peter Schmeichel (Manchester United), Hans Segers (Wimbledon) and Jan Stejskal (Queen's Park Rangers) - while the nine outfield players were Eric Cantona (Leeds United), Gunnar Halle (Oldham Athletic), John Jensen (Arsenal), Andrei Kanchelskis (Manchester United), Anders Limpar (Arsenal), Roland Nilsson (Sheffield Wednesday), Ronny Rosenthal (Liverpool), Michel Vonk (Manchester City) and Robert Warzycha (Everton). What precisely?
 This Super Bowl winner is usually credited for having forced teams to adopt "zone defense", in which the opponents spread out and keep to a set area rather than following their opposite number, and also “bump and run”, when the defender tries to stop the attacker by almost any means. All this, because of a specific trait of his!
 Although Irish runner Bob Tisdall won the race, American Glenn Hardin was credited with the world record in the 400 metres hurdles at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. How/Why did this happen?
 Both Hardin and the Irish winner Bob Tisdall broke the old world record - but Tisdall had knocked over one of the hurdles, which invalidated his time under the peculiar rules in force at the time, although he kept the gold medal. So Hardin ended up with the silver - but a world record.
 Boxing themed Long Visual Connect  Exhaustive list of 8  Points on offer: 40
