Olympic Trivia Quiz

I found some of these Olympic and summer trivia quizzes over on Trivia Champ. I thought it might be fun to see what you know. Leave your answers in the comments & I'll assume you are not going to cheat! This particular quiz was meant to be given before the games: so, bonus! You know you will get a few correct. I hope! :) I'll respond with all the answers later tonight.
