15.  India Connect- He held
the 400m WR, wrongly
credited to Milkha
Singh in Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag.

18.  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.

19.  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.

22.  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.

25.  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.

28.  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.

33.  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.

34.  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?

37.  ________ ____ 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.

40.  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.

45.  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.

46.  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.

65.  “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.”

71.  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.

76.  Jacques Anquetil did it first, and it has been
achieved since only by Felice Gimondi, Eddy
Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Alberto
Contador.

79.  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.

80.  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?

83.  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!

90.  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?

92.  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.

116.  The first former Olympic champion to win the world professional
heavyweight title was Floyd Patterson, the middleweight gold medallist
at Helsinki in 1952, who added the pro crown in 1956. Muhammad Ali
(then still known as Cassius Clay) won light-heavyweight gold in Rome in
1960, and claimed the world heavyweight title for the first time in 1964.
That year Joe Frazier won the Olympic heavyweight title, and he was
followed in 1968 by George Foreman. At Montreal in 1976 Michael Spinks
won the middleweight gold and his brother Leon the light-heavyweight
one - both went on to win versions of the world heavyweight title. Ray
Mercer, the 1988 Olympic heavyweight gold medalist, became the WBO
heavyweight champion in 1991, beating Francesco Damiani - the 1984
super-heavyweight silver medalist - to win the title. And after the super-heavyweight
division was added to the Olympic programme in 1984,
Lennox Lewis (who beat Riddick Bowe in the 1988 final) and Wladimir
Klitschko (1996) both won the Olympic title before going on to greater
things at professional level.

134.  “____________, whose ninth life ended on
November 5, 1964, was a well-known cricket-watcher
and spent 12 of his years doing the
same. He preferred a close-up view of the
proceedings and he could often be seen on the
field of play when the crowds were biggest. He
frequently appeared on the television screen.
Mr SC Griffith, secretary of MCC, said of him:
`He had great character and loved publicity’”

137.  There were a couple of near-misses:
Shivnarine Chanderpaul played in 1994 but
was dropped for this game, while Nasser
Hussain, who played in 2004, was on the tour
in 1994 but didn't play in the Tests. Among
several mediamen and spectators who will
have seen both, Angus Fraser played in 1994 -
he took 2 for 121 - but had a slightly less
exhausting time of it this time, in the press-box
writing for The Independent.

140.  Paavo Nurmi, the great Finnish long-distance
runner, won nine gold medals (and three silvers)
at the Olympics in the 1920s. Nurmi had hoped
to compete again at the 1932 Olympics in Los
Angeles, but he was branded a professional - for
allegedly receiving too much in expenses for a
meeting in Germany - and banned. He was
therefore ineligible to compete in further
Games.
 But the winner’s list shows ‘Paavo Nurmi’ did
indeed win two further golds, at Berlin in 1936.
How did that happen?

143. This is Marla Runyan, an
american athlete who
finished 8th in 1500m at the
2000 Sydney Olympics.
Given the USA’s prowess in
track & field, this definitely
wouldn’t have been an
achievement. However she
went on to be one of the
most celebrated athletes
to have emerged out of the
country over the past
decade.

152. • In July 1973, Yogi
Berra's Mets trailed
the Chicago Cubs by
9½ games in
the National League
East. The Mets rallied
to win the division title
on the final day of the
season

155.  The track underwent a major redesign between
the 1990 and 1991 races, transforming the ultra-fast
track (where in its last years, every corner
was taken in no lower than 4th or 5th gear
(depending on the transmission of the car)
except for the Bridge chicane, which was usually
taken in 2nd gear) into a more technical track.
The reshaped track's first F1 race was perhaps
the most memorable of in the decade, with a
home driver coming home first in front of his
home crowd on the revamped track.

159.  Before he had any children, he wrote a book
entitled “Bring Up Genius!”, and sought a
wife to help him carry out his experiment. He
found one in Klara, a schoolteacher, who lived
in Ukraine. He married her in the USSR and
then continued with his “experiments”

162.  He was the technical
advisor on the 1961
film The Hustler,
starring Paul
Newman, Jackie
Gleason and Piper Laurie.
His job was to teach
Newman how to walk,
talk, and shoot like a real
pool hustler. He also had a
cameo role as himself,
acting as a stakes holder
during the first match-up
of the film.
