For me it's easier because most things/places I know in very different words than you! :)

Yeah, no fair! Kukaso's drawing the pictures in Russian.

omg, I haven't seen this dancing bear in forever! An old friend of mine used to have it as her avatar on the Lost forum we were both on <3

Shouldn't it have been a dancing polar bear, then?

London? That looks like Big Ben.

So, anyone feel like going a bit older style? Virginia Reel perhaps?

We used to do the Virginia Reel in elementary school. I was terrible at it!

Oh, you are such a gentleman, Ben.

 

 

Aw, shucks, Ma'am. 

Great suit, and a great color! Swing dancing sounds fun, but I'm old. Can we start with something slow?

I actually really like that song. I love the initial riff, and I really like the part where it changes at about the 2 minute mark. The Grateful Dead must have liked it too, because they stole it for Terrapin Station.

Well for me it was the 1984 Winter Olympics. I was head over heels in love with Scott Hamilton and he performed so well, doing a back flip on the ice and winning the gold medal. I remember watching it with my parents and recording it on our VCR so I could watch it over and over. haha! 

Nadia Comaneci was my crush in 1976 and 1980. I suppose everyone has an Olympic crush at some point.

Sadly, the one that stands out most for me is the Summer Olympics of 1972 when the Israeli athletes were murdered. I was a kid and was leaving Germany with my parents the day it happened. We were at the airport. 

I didn't realize we were of an age.  

I was 8 and watched it in horror with my parents. That was terrible. I read that Golda Meir gave the order, and Mossad tracked down and killed every one of the terrorists in Black September, though. Every one of them, not that it would bring back a single athlete, but at least they were avenged.

Having taken the oaths, I have cut my lifespan in half, but I should still have at least a couple hundred years left barring trolloc attacks or the like. I should most certainly have time. Shall we dance?

#5 Correct!

#6 Oh so close, so very close...

#7 Correct! 

You are crushing it! 2 points to Ravenclaw *cough* I mean BFG

The Soviet Union boycotted at least one Summer Olympics that I can recall, but no, neither Russia nor the former Soviet Union has ever boycotted the Winter Games. Good guess, though! That’s what I thought too until I read the answer.

Okay, I can see that I'm making these too difficult. You may Google for the answers to the other questions, and I'll ask some easier ones instead.

#9 What are the four indoor Winter Olympic sports?

#10 Two teams push 42 pound stones across the ice towards a target. Matches consist of 10 ends, and during each end a team scores one point for every stone of theirs which is closer to the center of the target than all of the opponent's stones. The sport is ________ ?

#11 Which sport is a two-day event, combining both ski jumping and cross-country skiing?

#12 When was the last time that the Summer and Winter Olympics were held during the same year?

I would be honored, Mother!

So many lovely ladies, and I'm the only man here to dance with! Woohoo! Which lady would like to dance first? I do a mean "funky chicken..."

Question #6: What is the only nation to have ever boycotted a Winter Olympics?

Question #7: Who is the only athlete to have won a gold medal in both the Winter and Summer Olympics?

Question #8: Which two Winter Olympic sports were first featured during Summer Games?

No, Norway has surely won more Winter medals than Summer, but they have won medals in both games. 

Oh good, another tough one!

I come up with some others to work on while folks figure out #5

Correct! Oh Canada, you do play a mean game of hockey!

2 points for Lessa Nikia

Who can answer question #5?

Canada is not the correct answer for all three questions, sorry. Perhaps it is the correct answer for one or more of them, though. You will have to be more specific.
