Yes, all three of those are also correct. Man, you are KILLING it!

Point total:

Now I have to find more questions...

[BFG]

[Gentled Ben]

#13: What figure skating couple received a perfect score from every judge?

#14 What are the only two countries in the southern hemisphere to have won medals at the Winter Olympics?

#15: How many nations in the southern hemisphere have hosted the Winter Games?

#16: What is the only nation to win a gold medal at every Winter Olympics?

[BFG]

#15 0

#16 USA 

 

(only because I read it earlier looking for the boycott answer if I'm remembering right anyway)

[Gentled Ben]

BFG: 8 Points

Mashiara Sedai: 2 Points

Oops, you're right, but you know it. You laughed at it in another thread...

#9 What are the four indoor Winter Olympic sports?

Speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey and CURLING!

 

#14 What are the only two countries in the southern hemisphere to have won medals at the Winter Olympics?

Australia and imma guess New Zealand. 

 

Those are the only two I know that havent been said 

 

[Gentled Ben]

You go, Blank! The judges give that a solid 9.4!

 

Correct on both counts, so the point total is now:

BFG: 8 points

Lessa Nikia: 2 points

Mashiara Sedai: 2 points

Blank: 2 points

Sooh: 1 point

 

We still need an answer for #13, and I think there are some early ones from the first list of questions that haven't been answered.

[BFG]

#11 nordic combined?

[BFG]

Sooh has at least 1 point :)

[Gentled Ben]

You're right--Sooh does have one point, and I forgot to carry Lessa over, too. I have edited the most recent point count, and it also reflects your correct answer for #11, which is indeed Nordic Combined. Biathlon is cross-country skiing and shooting. I thought I had addressed that one earlier, but obviously I didn't. :-/

[Sooh]

Are there still questions that need answering?

[Gentled Ben]

No more questions left. We have run out of time, and BFG was the clear winner! Good job everyone!
