For over a century, India has chased Olympic gold. Games after Games. Rowers and swimmers. Archers and runners. Boxers and wrestlers. All that dreaming, desire, talent, so much of it beautiful, always coming up short. Gold just refusing to come in an individual sport till it had the smell of a curse about it. Every successive Olympics, the pressure builds, the questions come, the absurdity of it all grows. Burundi had one, as did Luxembourg, the UAE, Hong Kong. Not India. Eventually, the gold medal sits there like a tease. It becomes an insinuation of mediocrity, it corrodes ambitions, it settles like a psychological weight in the athletic mind.

    ATHENS 2004 This Tournament Goes To Eleven VI: Lick my Love Pump Written by: Trevor D. Schultz Edited by: Andrew R. Juhl of the University of Iowa Academic Quiz Club Subject: A packet about the 2004 Olympics and Olympic-related trivia, facts, and stories. Just like it should, this packet requires a gold-medal-level of knowledge about the Olympics. TOSS UPS 1. American Harvard Law Student James Brendan Connolly mustered a hop, step and jump of over 13 meters, and thus did something that hadn't been done in 1,500 years. (*) His countrymen also fared well - though the host nation accounted for 2/3 of all competitors and were on top of the medal count - though perhaps that's not totally fair since some events did not allow foreigners, like the 100m swim for sailors that was strictly for competitors from the Greek Navy. For 10 points, name this occasion - a gathering of nations for the thrill of sport - the fIrst modern resurrection of an ancient Greek tradition. Answer: 1896 Athens Olympics (or) 1st Summer Olympics (or) I Olympiad (prompt on "win a gold medal" on early buzz). 2. They are officially designated as "equipment" by the IOC, though they do require passports with full documentation before they can enter a host country. (*) In the modern pentathlon event­ competitors draw for them randomly, and an uncooperative one can ruin chances for a medal. When they are part of a top 3 fInish, they receive ribbons and flowers, but not medals - though I'm sure a tasty carrot would be just fIne.
