While some questions are of common sense, many people don’t know that, which is unbelievable.

Some questions, like who is the chairman of Olympic committee? Who is the father of Olympic? Those contestants who’re asked didn’t know. Who takes part in the Olympic Games most, Fu Mingxia or Wang Yifu? The contestant’s answer is Fu Mingxia. When questions on Wang Junxia, some contestants asked hesitantly, “Is Wang Junxia of the long distance running?” When asked which event do the Olympic Games Chinese delegation flagmen come from, the answer is pingpong. Another contestant’s answer is more interesting. Which event do the American butterfly Qiao Yina perform, he gices the answer of yoga. Although this contestant makes fun on purpose, it reveals that he’s no idea who Qiao Yina is. In the activity of questioning and answering, many contestants say no directly. When answer the multiple choices, many contestants just guess bindly, and only few contestants care and understand Olympic Games in deed.

In order to give a better performance, contestants need to make up Olympic knowledge. Besides, next year the Olympic Games will be held in China, so it’s necessary to understand more Olympic Games knowledge. Our Olympics, we concern.
