In the spirit of the games, here are a few Olympic oddities:
1. Which famous politician, at the prime of his political activities, covered the 1932 Olympics as a reporter?
2. In what Olympic year were the Gold medals last made of real gold (they are now Silver with Gold plating)?
3. What was the top prize at the first modern Olympics held in 1896 in Athens?
4. In the 1900 games, what did France give the winners instead of medals?
5. In what year was the first Olympic drug suspension, and a bonus point for the banned substance?
6. How old were the youngest and oldest ever Olympians (one point for each)?
