Howdy peeps! I'm baaaaaaackkkkk:D
Another edition of Peehs for y'all. Now I know some of you (well me anyways) missed the Olympics a lot this year, so I thought it would be a great topic for a Peehs game...
What is Peehs?If you've ever watched the show 'Pointless' then this is exactly that. You are trying to give me the least popular answer.
Google is not permitted for this game
Without further adieu, the questions, some of which I have put the number of correct answers possible beside:
1. Name a sport contested at the 1896 Summer Olympic Games in Athens (9 correct answers, all of which are still Summer Olympic sports)
2. Name a gold medal winner in the 100 metres mens category. (25 correct answers)
3. Name a weight class in men’s Olympic boxing competition.
4. Name a country that has won an Olympic Gold medal in long distance running. (1500, 5000 or 10000 metres)
5. Name an Irish Olympian (they do not have to have won a medal)
6. Name a country that currently has a representative on the International Olympic Committee Executive Board (16 correct answers)
7. Name a U.S. or Canadian city that has hosted an Olympic Games (9 correct answers)
8. Name a European city that has hosted a Summer Olympic Games (12 correct answers)
9. Name an athlete who has won at least 8 gold medals across one or more Olympic Games (14 correct answers)
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)
11. Name a country that has won an Olympic gold medal in the Shot Put or Javelin events (13 correct answers)
12. Name a country that has won a gold medal for the Mens OR Womens Football Event at the Olympics (22 correct answers)
I will keep sign ups open until an hour before the reveal. Reveal will take place on Sunday 9th August, 2020.12

We have a couple of dedicated tournament specialists here at Forum Games HQ so I have been redeployed to reinvigorate the Sheep/Peehs market

Admitting upfront that you cheated... Bold move...
If you win we shall consider it a victory for your daughter so.0 -

I am sure people used Google. I had my daughter and didn't need it.
I'll withdraw if it causes a diplomatic incident....:)0 -

I think LeVar was just joking with you
We'll say no more about it... unless you win, when we'll all say you cheated and should be disqualified

A few educated guesses but I don't expect that I will have many wrong answers.
Now, whether they will be PEEHS or SHEEP is a whole different matter:pac:
I should hope you know the answers what with you being from the birthplace of the Olympics!
Did you have to learn Olympic history in school?0 -

Well, it's been 30 years since I finished school so only vague recollections of it
As part of the history courses there were references to the Olympic games in ancient Greek. I don't recall anything related to the modern Olympics.
For many years the only real interest was the lighting of the Olympic flame in the Temple of Hera in Olympia. Greece didn't have a great presence in the Olympic Games so there was never a big interest for the event itself.
This changed in the nineties when we started winning the odd medal and in the build up of 2004, were everyone became an Olympic Games fan, but the interest went down after that.
Plus as I'm getting older I find it more difficult to remember such trivia. I got lucky with one question because in the town I live in we have a statue of an Irish Olympian so knew that and this could actually be the only peehs I get.
For some others (especially the ones with the medals) I only had 1 or 2 very obvious answers and went with them to avoid getting penalty points. 0 -
