About Olympics and Sports Quiz
Canada has hosted the Olympic Games three times: Montreal in 1976, Calgary in 1988 and Vancouver in 2010. The Olympics and Sports Quiz starts with moments like those and covers past Summer and Winter Olympics, the symbols of the Games, the rules of popular sports, from hockey and curling to soccer, basketball and tennis, and great moments in Canadian sport. Only Games that have already been held are asked about, and records likely to be broken are left out, so every answer stays right after the next Olympics.
