QuizSports quiz questions with answers
Thirty sports questions: rules of popular games, Indian champions and famous firsts. Records that change every season are left out on purpose, so the answers stay right.
Easy round
Ten easy questions to warm up. Most players should get seven or more.
- How many players does a cricket team have on the field?
- Which sport is played with a shuttlecock?
- How many rings are there on the Olympic flag?
Medium round
Ten questions that need a little thought. A good round to split the teams.
- In which year did India first win the men's Cricket World Cup?
- Who captained India in that first World Cup win?
- The Summer Olympic Games are normally held every how many years?
Tricky round
Ten harder questions. Give double points here if you like a dramatic finish.
- How long is a cricket pitch between the two wickets?
- Who scored the first double century in men's one-day international cricket?
- Viswanathan Anand became a world champion in which game?
How to play
Open a round and tap the option you think is right. The answer and a short note appear at once, and your score is counted at the bottom. To play with a group, send the round on WhatsApp and paste the answer key when the time is up.
Who this topic suits
Sports rounds bring out the loudest teams. They suit friends' groups, office teams on a match day, school houses and families who watch games together. The questions cover the rules and history of popular games and the Olympics, so a player who follows only one sport can still score.
Hosting tips
Sport produces new champions and new records every season. The questions here are chosen from facts that do not change, such as the rules of a game or the events of past years, rather than from current rankings. Even so, read the note under each answer, and if a record has clearly been broken since the page was written, go by the note's wording. Fans can be fierce; announce at the start that the quizmaster's decision is final, and keep rival supporters in mixed teams.
