Classic it is and since you get to check all the other questions, you do not get to select a number here. One stack has been prepared in advance. Good luck and let's go! 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 Pts. 1,000 4 Pts. 500 3 Pts. 300 2 Pts. 200 1 Pts. 100

Some of these did not belong into the lower tier, in my opinion. But all of that won't help you here as we have, at best, 15 new questions. Last time Godzilla made you fall, you should better watch out for him again. Knowing you, you'll probably choose 3 lifelines again?

Alrighty, @OlympicIRL, this seat belongs to you tonight. OlympicIRL ♦ ♦ Ireland Let me know when you're ready.

In approximately half an hour if you're free. Hopefully @dcro @mrv86 @Olympian1010 will be there again to support you as experts.

Does anyone who has not played in April/May want to have a go later today?

Badminton?

Australia.

Definitely not field hockey. 10/12 nations in both genders (although that doesn't have to do with qualification itself), but home teams had a major advantage in the FIH Olympic Qualifier.

If it's just about removal then none because for me it's "the more, the merrier" and if you think about the athletes, it's their bit of fame. Even if I don't like certain sports/events on the current programme. If it has to be like that to make way for something I'd rather like to see (for example squash or wushu), then I guess artistic swimming, rhythmic gymnastics or dressage (sorry ) can go. I'm not a traditionalist, so I'm not "afraid" of new sports either. Except for breaking and I also wouldn't like to see eSports at the Olympics. It doesn't fit in there. They should establish their own multisport event.

Not easy to break it down but this should be my Top 12. I'm also a bit more concerned with the music than the text, but it depends. South Africa - Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika Ukraine - Shche ne vmerla Ukraina Mongolia - Môngôl Ûlsiin toriin dûûlal 4. Nepal 5. Japan 6. Kenya 7. Egypt 8. Australia 9. Antigua & Barbuda 10. Uruguay 11. Romania 12. Sweden And yes, I've listened to all national anthems.

@Bearas European championship gold for Edgaras Matakas in Men's 50m Freestyle S11 which appears to be Lithuania's first European para swimming gold.

What about Zhu Yuling? Another player I haven't seen in a while.

Was hoping for Lithuania to do the same.
