Capital Sport Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ryan Giggs

"Giggsy" has always been very proud of his Cardiff roots, despite the fact that he moved to Manchester as a youngster when his dad, Danny Wilson, moved there to play professional rugby league for Swinton.

Bobby Charlton is English, George Best was from Northern Ireland, and Eric Cantona is French - all Manchester United legends as well!

Answer: The Millennium Stadium

The "Millstad" as it's known locally holds 73,000 people. It has a fully retractable roof, and when it's full, and the roof is on, and Wales are playing at home - it's utterly awe inspiring! Built in time for the 1999 World Cup rugby Final, it hosted a number of FA Cup finals early in the 21st Century as Wembley, in London, was being redeveloped.

It is literally right in the middle of Cardiff city centre - therefore very easy to get to, with great facilities on its doorstep.

Answer: In a pool

Paulo won Gold in the 1908 London Olympics in both the 4 x 200m relay and as part of the Water Polo team. Further Water Polo Golds followed in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, and the 1920 Games in Antwerp. In all, he competed in 5 consecutive games from 1908 to 1928 - it would undoubtedly have been 6 games if the 1916 event hadn't been cancelled due to World War I.

In 1967, a year before he died at the grand old age of 92, Paulo Radmilovic was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Florida - only the second Briton to be given the honour. The first was Captain Matthew Webb - honoured for being the first man to swim the English Channel.

Answer: Ninian Park

Named after Ninian Stuart, the son of the Third Marquess of Bute, Cardiff City moved to Ninian Park in 1910. Prior to that, they had played at Sophia Gardens, near the Glamorgan Cricket Ground. It has been the site of many famous victories for the club, none more so than the 1-0 defeat of Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1971.

Answer: Ice Hockey

Although Cardiff enjoys playing host to British Elite Hockey League side Cardiff Devils, Wales doesn't have it's own "national" ice hockey side. The Wales soccer team regularly plays matches at the Millennium Stadium, whilst Glamorgan's SWALEC Stadium at Sophia Gardens has been staging international cricket matches since the 1990s.

British Baseball is a slight variation on the North American version - the main difference being in the scoring, and the way the innings are configured. It is played almost exclusively in the ports of Cardiff and Newport in Wales, and in Liverpool. Every year, a Wales v England international takes place - in South Wales (usually in Cardiff) and on Merseyside alternatively.

Answer: Sion Bebb

Sion Bebb was born in Church Village, before moving to Brynsadler, near Pontypridd. He is the son of former Wales and British Lions rugby union legend, Dewi Bebb.

This was finally beaten by Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang in 2006. After retiring from Athletics in 2003, Colin joined the BBC as an athletics pundit.

He played 9 cricket tests for England, gained 2 Welsh caps at rugby, and also represented Wales at hockey. Although he was South Wales squash champion, he never represented his country at this sport.

Answer: Tanni Grey-Thompson

4 Golds in Barcelona (1992), 1 in Atlanta (1996), 4 more in Sydney (2000) and another 2 in Athens (2004). At distances between 100m and 800m - but also a Marathon specialist, as her record in London over the same period proves. A remarkable athlete, and a great personality, as anyone who's been lucky to witness her being the life and soul of a party will testify! After she retired she became a TV presenter across a broad range of programmes.

Answer: All three of them

West Indies cricket legend Sir Viv played for Glamorgan from 1990-1993, playing a huge part in their Sunday League triumph in 1993. South African Jacques Kallis also played for Glamorgan, having a very successful season with them in 1999.

Jonah Lomu, the All Black rugby player, appeared 10 times in the Cardiff Blues jersey in the 2005-06 season, sadly breaking his ankle in the last of these games. That was to prove to be his last ever competitive first class rugby match.
