Answer: Djokovic. Novak Djokovic has 24 Grand Slam titles, ahead of Rafael Nadal (22) and Roger Federer (20).
Answer: Badminton. A traditional shuttlecock is made of 16 goose feathers set in a cork base. On a smash it exceeds 500 km/h, the fastest object in any racket sport… but its feathers slow it down very quickly.
Answer: Japan. Jigoro Kano created judo in Tokyo in 1882 by removing the most dangerous techniques from jujitsu, turning it into a method of physical and moral education. Judo became an Olympic sport at the 1964 Tokyo Games.
Answer: Snowboard. The half-pipe is a U-shaped snow channel with walls over 6 m high, from which riders launch into tricks. It has been an Olympic snowboard event since Nagano in 1998, and a ski event since Sochi in 2014.
Answer: 90-120m. The Laws of the Game allow a pitch 90–120 m long and 45–90 m wide. For international matches the range is tighter: 100–110 m by 64–75 m. Most major stadiums measure 105 × 68 m.
Answer: Taekwondo. Taekwondo, born in Korea in the 1950s, focuses on kicks, often jumping or spinning ones. It has been Olympic since Sydney 2000; kicks to the head score more points than hits to the electronic chest protector.
Answer: Yellow jersey. The Tour de France awards no cup: its symbol is the yellow jersey, worn by the leader of the general classification. Created in 1919, it owes its colour to the yellow paper of L'Auto, the newspaper that organised the race.
Answer: 9. On defence, 9 players take the field: the pitcher, the catcher, 4 infielders and 3 outfielders. A game has 9 innings and no time limit: the longest lasted more than 8 hours.
Answer: Uruguay. Uruguay won the first edition on home soil.
Answer: 6. They are replaced regularly as they get damaged.
Answer: Duck. A batter dismissed without scoring makes a ‘duck’, because the zero on the scoreboard looks like a duck's egg. If out on the very first ball, it is a ‘golden duck’, the ultimate humiliation.
Answer: Simonne-Mathieu. A tribute to Simonne Mathieu, a champion of the 1930s and a figure of the French Resistance.
Answer: Airboard. An airboard is a kind of inflatable sled that you ride down snowy slopes lying on your stomach, head first. With no metal edges, it is steered only by shifting your body weight, giving a thrilling sense of speed right above the snow.
Answer: USA. The United States has won 4 Women's World Cups: 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019. Women's soccer thrives there thanks to universities and the 1972 Title IX law, which requires equality between boys and girls in school sport.
Answer: Boxing. Boxing gloves are measured in ounces (1 oz ≈ 28 g), so 10-ounce gloves weigh about 280 g. Heavier ones are used in training or in the heavier weight classes, to protect the hands as much as the opponent.
Answer: New Zealand. The first Rugby World Cup was held in 1987 in New Zealand and Australia. The All Blacks won the final against France (29–9) at Eden Park in Auckland, in front of their home crowd.
