    Forum Games know their sports! No incorrect answers in this round, and we even get an Ace - well done to yozico for identifying Ireland's Olympic silver-medallist sailor Annalise Murphy.

    It's a tie at the top between tennis and football (or "soccer" as Megan would say!)

    I knew Christie, Greer and Rowling and might have taken a punt (but didn't) on Atwood.

    The rest, I hadn't a clue.
