These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-12-05,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Smith & Guessin' and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 6 - Sports
That is: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr6/spo.jpg
* Hockey Quotes
1. According to Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe, "All hockey
players are bilingual. They know English and..." And what?
2. Name the Hall of Fame coach of the Montreal Canadiens (1955-68)
who said that "Predictions are for gypsies".
3. Name the Toronto Maple Leafs coach (1979-80) and general manager
(1989-91) who told the media one day: "I've got nothing to say,
and I'll only say it once."
* Olympic Streaks
4. In which sport did Steve Redgrave of Britain win gold medals
at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000?
5. Which Asian country dominated Olympic men's field hockey from
1920 to 1980, winning 11 medals, including 8 gold and 6 of
them consecutive?
6. Which European nation has won more Olympic medals (at 497) than
any other nation now existing *that has never hosted the Games*?
That total includes 6 consecutive golds in team fencing (sabre)
from 1932 to 1960.
* Grand Slams
7. The first man to win all 4 Grand Slam tennis singles titles was
an Englishman who completed the feat in 1935. He later started
a sportswear company, which includes a store at 964 Queen Street
West in Toronto. Name him.
8. The record for grand-slam home runs by a player in one
major-league season was set by Don Mattingly in 1987 and matched
by Travis Hafner in 2006. How many did they each hit?
9. Today in men's golf, the Grand Slam refers to the Masters, the
British Open, the US Open, and the PGA Championship. Since that
definition was adopted, no one has won all four tournaments in
the same year. But there are five men who have won all four in
different years. Two of them, in fact, have won each one of
the four at least three times: Jack Nicklaus (in 1962-80) and
Tiger Woods (1997-2008). Name any one of the other three men.
* European Soccer Teams
We show you the uniform jersey, you name the team.

11. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr6/team/11.jpg
12. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/gfr6/team/12.jpg
* Trophies

13. Solheim Cup.
14. Commissioner's Trophy.
15. Larry O'Brien Trophy.
