    I'm actually shocked at how reasonably I'm doing on this. Fully expected to be right down the bottom.

    Also surprised only myself and Homer went for Calgary. Is there no Cool Runnings fans in the house tonight?

    Olympics aside, I have never even heard of this place before! :eek:

    And I'd totally forgotten Cool Runnings was set in Calgary, been many years since I've seen it. Though maybe it's why I knew Calgary had hosted one, somewhere in the back of my mind.

    10. Name a country (excluding the Russian Empire and the Independent Olympic Athletes) that has won exactly one gold medal in Olympic competition (21 correct answers)

    Probably the toughest question of the night here. Some fabulous answers though.
