Friday Quiz - Only A Weedy Sport
Icy North Started conversation Jun 8, 2018
Some more anagrams for you this week. Each clue is a mixture of two items: an Olympic city, and one of the sports that featured in the Olympic Games when it was held in that city.
So, for example, if the clue was
1. A Lovely Yolk Blot
Then the answer could be:
Tokyo - Volleyball
* * *
1. A Clingy Stench
2. Arctic Ski Rep
3. Dragon Flown Out
4. Hobo Boils Legs
5. Old Jungle Oases
6. Sluice Hog
7. Suitcases Roll So
8. Swing Like Rhino
9. Uncage Loonies
10. Win Creepy Hotcake
* * *
Some hints:
* Most are Summer Olympic cities. There are a couple of Winter Olympic venues listed, but I've tried to avoid obscure ones.
* I've chosen sports, not individual events. So, for example, you may find "Athletics", but not "Pole Vault".
* And if you need to look these up online, then feel free, but please don't post your search results here
