Marvin Ponton, Q10 asked who has won the most INDIVIDUAL Olympic medals. The current answer is of course Michael Phelps, but this quiz was written before the Rio Olympics so we have to deduct the medals he won there. This leaves us with Larissa Lalynina winning 18 Olympic Medals of which 14 were individual. Prior to the 2016 Phelps had won 20 Olympic medals of which 13 were for individual events(the other 9 were for relay events). So technically the answer is correct at the time it was written.
Q11 is fine. It asked who has competed in the most Olympics, it isn’t about how many medals they won.

David Roy, I assume it should have read out of the four sports listed or similar. Also Bob Beamon’s record was set at an Olympic Games and Jarmila Kratochvílová‘S world record was not set at an Olympics.

I feel like I'm in a time warp as I have been sitting watching the 2024 Olympics in and around Paris, France.

GB have failed to win any medal at several Winter Olympics.
The women's 800m world record has stood since 1983, much longer than the men's long jump record.

12/13 but 10 and 11 are wrong 10 ask who won the most medals they say it was Larisa Lalynina but the net question says that Michael Phelps won the most and that Ian Miller competed inthe most so what did Larisa really do

"All of the above" is never an acceptable answer as there would not be any incorrect answers.
