Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Honestly, if I wanted to see as much fighting as there is in the NHL, I'd watch WWE. However, there is one other ice sport that happened to catch my eye. I saw a large stone sliding along the ice and two people seemingly mopping the ice. I heard the commentator use such terminology as "keen ice," and "chip and lie." What sport was I watching?
2. Tennis, in my humble opinion, is quite overrated. I truly see no pleasure in watching two people hitting a small yellow ball at each other. However, the other day, I saw two people playing a sport that I found much more interesting. They used a net, which was raised higher than the tennis net, two rackets, and something which resembled a ball yet they told me that it is called a shuttlecock, but that many people refer to it as a birdie. What is the name of this fascinating sport?
3. How many of you have ever watched a swimming competition? Doesn't it get very boring? Handball, a much lesser known sport than swimming, is still not very exciting. Yet when we mix the two sports together, we get a great game played in the water, where players try to throw the ball in a goal. See what happens when you put two sports together to make one. What is the name of this very fun sport?
4. Baseball? Definitely not as fun as it used to be, but there is a sport similar to it that it much more entertaining. Very popular in places like England, India, Zimbabwe, and Australia, this sport involves terminology such as batting and bowling. There are also players such as the batsman. What sport am I referring to?
5. I must say that golf is extremely boring. The other day, however, we played a game that resembled miniature golf, but involved using mallets rather than clubs. Also, the ball was much larger and heavier, and rather than attempt to hit it into a hole, the purpose is to send the ball through a series of wickets. Which lawn game am I referring to?
6. While I see a lot of fishing on television, who really wants to spend their time watching people try to catch fish. However, a different much cooler sport involves people in a kind of mix between a boat and a raft. The sport involves people paddling, but only on one side of the boat, switching sides every couple of minutes. What sport is this?
7. Time to pick on baseball. I'm sorry, I just don't see where the fun is in swinging a bat around? However, I noticed that there is a different sport where people use metal swords to strike their opponents. They do of course, wear special jackets and masks for protection. What sport is this?
8. Ballet (nothing against it, but who would think of this as much fun?) and swimming. I'm really not a fan of either of these, as they bore me far too much. However, putting them together gives us a sport that is sometimes nicknamed "water ballet." Can you identify this sport?
9. Nothing against cross country skiing, but it truly gets very boring after watching it for a while, so let us mix it up with something. I know, how about target shooting. When we mix these two, we get a sport where competitors must shoot and then race 10 kilometers. What sport is this?
10. This exhilarating sport involves players using a curved basket to launch a ball against the front wall with enough speed that their opponent cannot catch it or return it. What is the name of this sport?
