Quiz: What’s Your Summer Olympics Event?

By

On your marks, quiz fans, because the race is on to discover which is the Olympic event for you!

  9. I feel so seen as a no-sports-person. I am not an artist myself but I do love me a nice sculpture at a weirdly specific modern arts exhibition at a first date where I am going to completely alienate the girl with unnecessary knowledge

  14. Basketball! I’m the least athletic person in the world but I guess the quiz knew how tall I am?

    Also I would love to know what the search terms were to find the cake pictures (“gay sports cakes”?) and how hilarious the runner-up cakes that did not make it into the quiz were.

    Not much of a leotard fan but maybe I will use this as an excuse to work on my overhead kicks haha.

    An enjoyable quiz once again, thank you
