TODAY’S TRIVIA — One of the faces of the Paris, Léon Marchand (no relation to Brad), captured Gold on Sunday night in the 400m IM (individual medley). The event features 100m in each stroke.

He came up short of his own world record but set an Olympic record with a time of 4:02.95. Pretty cool to do that on home soil.

Last night, Summer McIntosh (CAN) took gold on the women’s side and Katie Grimes (USA), and Emma Weyant (USA) took silver and bronze.

What is the order of the 400m IM?

Canada has the second most NBA players in this year’s Olympics with 10. They are followed by Australia (9), France (5), Germany (4), and Serbia (4).
61% of you answered that correctly.

ICYMI, I am running a trivia challenge for the next two weeks during the Olympics. Top three winners (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) will be awarded MST merchandise.

Check out the information at the bottom for more details about the rules and how to sign up.

From my post on July 26th:

NEW GAME ALERT!

In the spirit of the Olympics, I thought I would run a contest to see which of you is the best at Morning Sports Trivia.

Rules and timeline: The Olympics will run from today through Sunday, August 11th. During that time, each answer you get correct will earn you points. Get the most points, and you win. Pretty simple, right?

Any tiebreakers will be determined by getting “predictions” correct.

On Monday, August 12th, I will release the Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards to the top three of you with the most correct answers during the duration of the games.

Winners will get a shoutout and MST merch!

To enter the contest, select yes below and comment your name or username. I will use that name when announcing the winners.

Note: If you want to go back and answer previous questions, I will count those answers. The more the merrier.
