Sports Quiz Jefferson ‘Jeff’ Knox, an amateur golfer, holds the Augusta course record (off members tees, not the competitive ones), with a 61 back in 2002. He is considered the best amateur golfer in Augusta and makes the news every April because of a famous tradition. He has played the final round with Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson, Keegan Bradley, Rory McIlroy, Jim Furyk, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Steve Stricker, and has a favourable record against them as well, despite not competing for the title. What is this tradition, which allows Knox to play the final round at the Augusta Masters? Q1
Sports Quiz
He is the default non-compete marker, who is added to the field in case an odd number of players make the cut at Augusta. Since this is usually the case, Augusta does not allow the last player to go into the round alone. Knox steps in, plays the round with them, and usually upstages them, though he is a non-comp participant

Sports Quiz The 4x100m freestyle relay (Swimming) at the 2008 Beijing Olympics saw multiple records being broken. In addition to the overall time of 3:12:46, which was a World Record at the time, Australian Eamon Sullivan swam a leg of 47.24 seconds. Although this was part of a relay, the time was considered for the World Record in the 100m freestyle category, then held by Alain Bernard (47.5 seconds). During the race, however, as many as five athletes swam a faster leg than Sullivan, one of them being Bernard himself. Why were their times not considered? Q4
Split times for swimmers not swimming the first leg are ineligible because the incoming swimmer can lean over in front of the blocks and be diving as the preceding swimmer is coming in, but the leadoff swimmer is timed from a stationary start. Eamon Sullivan was the only one to swim a first leg.

Sports Quiz The governing organization recognizes and engages only four firms for these endeavors, which involve a great deal of a priori analysis of certain factors such as topography, wind direction, infrastructure and soil quality before the actual work commences. Ideally, the organization, which looks after several classes in the sport, is supposed to divvy up the contracts across the four firms across the various classes. Unfortunately, the “supremo” who looks after the organization’s flagship event has a personal preference and that firm ends up getting most of the contracts. Three of the four recognized firms are Wilson, Apex and D3. Which is the fourth, which ends up getting most of the work? Q6

Sports Quiz This small town in Western Austria hosts the annual Hypo- Meeting, an athletics competition restricted to two events. This is considered a prelude to the World Championships (to be held later this year), and is attended by athletes of the highest calibre. The 2015 edition had high expectations from the public, with the current World Champion in an event set to take on the current Olympic Champion, for whom this was also a return from time off, both of them having won previously here. However, this did not materialize as the World Champion pulled out prior to the event, and the Olympic Champion eventually finished fourth. Identify the town and both the champions. Q7

Sports Quiz At age 10, he worked as a ball boy at the Gezira Sporting Club, where he took a liking to a particular sport, by listening attentively to the players and coaches. Once, he used a club member’s racquets without permission, and was subsequently chided. He was later challenged by the same person who wanted to show him that the sport was meant for rich people and blue bloods, which he responded to by beating him. This was stunning because the member was a six-time World Champion and the only unchallenged winner of the British Open (till date) and was part of the ‘Golden Age of Egyptian Sports’. This propelled the kid to fame who himself became a four-time world champion. Identify both the legends. Q9

Sports Quiz In 1998, after signing a six-year contract extension, the brothers took successful legal action to have it voided. The club had a verbal agreement that if a lucrative offer for one brother came by, he would be released provided the other stayed. However, the club apparently backed down on that agreement after floating the club on the stock market. They then went onto join their former manager for £22 million. They played together for two more clubs in the latter part of their careers, namely Rangers and Al-Rayyan. Q1

Sports Quiz Both won gold medals at the 1976 Olympics. Both became world champions after turning professional. Both won their world championships by shocking the world.

Both had rather unceremonious ends to their career. Seven months after beating Ali, the elder lost his rematch and went downhill since. The younger was 31-0 when he faced Tyson who packed him up in 91 seconds. Q2

Sports Quiz The ‘Rocket (R)’ and the ‘Pocket Rocket (PR)’ (called so because he was three inches shorter) came from a poverty-stricken family but then went onto make their surname synonymous with the sport. Their style of play was quite different though: R shot left, PR shot right. R played right wing and PR played centre. Although PR won 11 championships (one of only two athletes in North American professional sports) compared to R’s 8, R is still more fondly remembered and was voted the 5th greatest of all time, while the brother was 29th. Their franchise has since retired both their jersey numbers, 9 and 16. Q3

Sports Quiz His selection in July 2008 was met with surprise. Gooch remarked that it was “one of the most left-field decisions I've ever seen”, while Ian Botham was more caustic when he said, “The most illogical, pathetic and diabolical piece of selecting I've seen. The selectors have embarrassed English cricket. I want to hear a proper explanation for this, as do England fans around the country.” He played only the one Test and is now into greyhound racing. His younger brother, on the other hand, has played 13 Tests and 13 ODIs. He won the Man of the Match award in his debut Test against New Zealand in December 2011 as well as the Man of the Series award in the same series for his 14 wickets. Q4

Sports Quiz Both hail from the town of Sundergarh, same as the younger brother’s idol (the only Adivasi to represent India in three Olympics). Both have captained the Indian team as well. The elder, a part of the 2004 Athens Olympics squad, is best remembered for his performance in the 2003 Asia Cup, when he scored the winning goal between Sohail Abbas’ legs. The younger led the national team to the 2007 Asia Cup Gold. Q6
Sports Quiz Left to Right: Elder, Younger, Roshan Minz, William Xalxo, Idol.
Sports Quiz Similar to Jimmy Stewart and Ian Scheckter, he remained in the shadow of his younger sibling in motorsport. He participated in 38 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on May 1, 1972, scoring a total of three championship points. He and his brother were the first pair of siblings to compete in the same race and moreover, score points in the same race, a feat since replicated only by Michael and Ralf Schumacher. The younger, after an illustrious career in F1, went onto CART, where in 1993, post his second win, broke a tradition founded in 1936 (and firmly established in 1956), for which he was widely criticized. (This continued even in 2008 when he drove the Chevrolet Corvette pace car) Q7
Sports Quiz
Sports Quiz Both won Gold at the same Olympics (1984), the elder in the Freestyle 74 kg category and the younger in the Freestyle 82 kg category. They were the only brothers to win both World and Olympic championships. They won more NCAA, U.S. Open, World, and Olympic titles than any American brother combination in history. Despite this, they are possibly best known for their work and involvement in a project meant to help coach U.S. wrestlers in an 800-acre Philadelphia estate. Q8
