I have no idea on this one at all, I am veering towards 2 answers, but want to hear from @Olympian1010 on this one

 

Okay, go ahead.

First lifeline you've needed.

@Olympian1010 I am hoping you know this one as I know you watch Winter sports

 

If you are not 100% sure let me know but I would like your thoughts anyway.

I think unfortunately these skaters were competitive a little before my time. My gut says go for C, but your guess is as good as mine. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help here.

That's no problem. C and D were the 2 I was thinking are least likely and since athletes usually have numbers already, I thought numbers would be too confusing also. But I can't be sure that any of the options are incorrect so I have to skip this question and ask for another. Can I use my second lifeline?

You can skip and it was a wise decision having done that.

Originally, the two were given the letters "L" and "S" for "large" and "small" but the older Yang didn't like the "L" so it became an "A" instead.

And TV graphics showed Yang Yang (A) / (S) or even Yang (A) Yang / Yang (S) Yang.

 

 

Pts. 32,000

What helped the audience distinguishing between the two short track speed skaters Yang Yang, born 1976 and Yang Yang, born 1977?
♦ A: 1 and 2	♦ B: A and S
♦ C: Dragon and Snake	♦ D: Yin and Yang

The two were successful at the 2002 Olympics, by the way.

@OlympicIRL

Here is your switched question for Pts. 32,000:

 

 

 

Pts. 32,000

Which US state voted to omit "and Providence Plantations" from its official name it held since 1790 in a November 2020 amendment?
♦ A: Pennsylvania	♦ B: Massachusetts
♦ C: New Hampshire	♦ D: Rhode Island

Now this is a question Olympian1010 would be more likely to answer, I think.

[OlympicIRL 4,771]

That's more like it . That is definitely D: Rhode Island, with Providence being the capital of the state also.
