I have Olympic fever! And thanks to all the online streaming of the London Games, it doesn’t even matter that I don’t own a television. I can watch all the events I love so much. Just last night I was up till 3 am watching handball and it just doesn’t get any better than that. And so even though we just gave you a Truth or Fail episode about the London Olympics, we’re back for more Olympiad trivia.

This time it’s a bit more of the general knowledge variety and of course, a five for five earns you a top spot on the medal podium.

Round number one: Boycotts.

Fact number one: The soviet lead boycott of the 1984 summer Olympics in Los Angeles which involved sixteen other nations including East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia lead to something of a skewed medal count for the United States. And by skewed, I mean the US one 63 more gold medals and 115 more total medals than any other country. And did you know that the nation with the second highest gold medal count was none other than Romania.

Or

Fact number two: Of course, the soviet boycott was essentially a rebuttal to the US led boycott of the 1980 games in response to the 1979 soviet invasion of Afghanistan. More than sixty nations boycotted those games and while nearly all competitors complied with the decision, four American athletes, two wrestlers, one runner and one weightlifter defied the USOC and went to Moscow where they marched under the Olympic flag and won zero medals.
