QM:- Souptik Das
Question 1
In 1994-95, the season in which Barcelona suffered an infamous 5-0 drubbing at the hands of
their arch rivals Real Madrid, they also got hammered by the same scoreline by Racing
Santander. After the game, when the pressure was mounting on Johan Cruyff, one of the
scorers for Racing that day came out in support of the under-fire Barcelona manager, saying
he was the one who revolutionized football in Spain.
Who was this ardent Cruyff fan?
This guy was a skillful player, but far more interested in the tactical side of football and
often compared it to another sport. Perhaps, it was no surprise that he would on to play a
series of exhibition matches with someone, who was at the time smarting after an inhuman
defeat.
Who?

Question 4
Ferdinand Marcos was one of the lesser known dictators in history with his
tyrannical policies leading to changing of the constitution of the country,
systematic killing of communists under his regime and the imposition of
martial law in 1972.
3 years after the imposition, when his government were facing the flak
from the United Nations, he decided to divert all attention of the global press
and improve the image of his country.

heinous dictators successfully hosted one of the most important sporting
events of the 20th century.
Which event?

Question 5
An excellent documentary film by Jason Kohn on the troubled relationship
between Andre Agassi and his childhood coach, Nick Bollettieri and how
their relentless pursuit of excellence distanced the two men.
Simply tell me the 3 word name of the documentary, one that derives its
name because of how the affection between the two reached a new low
and how a term in tennis came about from the French word for egg,
“l’oeuf ”.
In the documentary, Agassi says that his friends and family gave him a
nickname at the start of his career because of his distant nature and his
endeavour to make himself and his opponent suffer in order to win the
game.
Give me the nickname, also the alter ego of a Vietnam veteran who
goes rogue after the death of his family.

established by Lorenzo Massa when he saw young boys were no longer safe
playing out on the streets and offered them the backyard of his
establishment, provided they had to help him and the others at the
establishment on Sundays.
Given all that, tell me who is San Lorenzo’s biggest and most high-profile fan.
They also have an unusual fan in a Danish-American of Argentinian and
Venezuelan descent who would’ve been a fantastic captain had he chosen
football, but even in his chosen career, he has excelled.
Who be this super fan?
Safety Slide
Answer
Pope Francis
Viggo Mortenson
Question 12
While great technological strides have been made to cater to this
marginalized group, the sport of field hockey has taken a completely
different route and has banned all equipment specifically dedicated to
this demographic. While the origins of hockey date back to the Middle
Ages when this group was seen as evil or sinister, the sport maintains its
ruling is purely for safety reasons, stating the likelihood of getting hit in a
follow-through swing would be considerably higher.
The only solution for people of this ilk who love to play hockey? Get used to
it just as they got used to using scissors, can openers, and computer
mouses.
Which marginalized group is thus affected by the banning of equipment
specific to them?
Safety Slide
Answer
Left handers
Left handed hockey sticks are banned
Question 13
When asked about the reason for his instant fame in the
wake of a staggering match, the calm, composed man said:
“It’s probably because I look like a village sportsman out
there in my glasses, the bald head and maybe people think:
‘That could be me!’ All the others look pretty professional.”
Who said these words, famously holding on dear life, not
allowing the opposition to draw blood in the match?
Safety Slide
Answer
Jack Leach
Question 14
Louis Chiron, the man after whom the Bugatti Chiron is named, was the most outstanding
race driver before the Second World War started, but by the time the 1st F1 World
Championship had started, his powers had waned, when competing at 55, he finished 3rd in
his iconic home Grand Prix.
Going by that legacy, you’d think that despite being a tiny nation, they would’ve had some
success in F1, but alas, only Andre Testut and Oliver Beretta represented them in F1 in the
ensuing 50 years.
Who is the latest from this country to take part in F1, hoping to make a far more lasting
impression?
He revealed in a recent interview that his literal godfather and his idol was also a terrific
prospect, until that fateful night half a decade ago.
Who was his idol?

Question 15
In his yet unreleased film, Brin-Jonathan Butler gives cautionary
examination of Cuban-American relations, and the economic and
cultural paradoxes that have shaped those relations since Fidel
Castro's revolution, through personal stories and interviews.
One of these is an extensive interview of Teofilo Stevenson, arguably
the finest amateur boxer in the history of the sport and how he refused
to turn professional at the cost of millions, to honour the ideals of the
Cuban People.
Because of all these and his looks, what was he popularly referred to
in the States?
Tell me the name of the documentary, also the name of a rather
ambiguous winning criterion in boxing, in which two judges score

Sports Quiz (Xavotsav)

  • 1. Round Rebound Xavotsav Sports Quiz By :- Soumyabrata Mahapatra & Souptik Das
  • 3. Question 1 In 1994-95, the season in which Barcelona suffered an infamous 5-0 drubbing at the hands of their arch rivals Real Madrid, they also got hammered by the same scoreline by Racing Santander. After the game, when the pressure was mounting on Johan Cruyff, one of the scorers for Racing that day came out in support of the under-fire Barcelona manager, saying he was the one who revolutionized football in Spain. Who was this ardent Cruyff fan? This guy was a skillful player, but far more interested in the tactical side of football and often compared it to another sport. Perhaps, it was no surprise that he would on to play a series of exhibition matches with someone, who was at the time smarting after an inhuman defeat. Who?
  • 6. Question 2 Which event- one that saw the emigration of one million of the island’s inhabitants to different parts of the world- was blamed on the Whig government's economic policy of laissez-faire capitalism and single-crop dependence? The above event led to one of the cities on the East Coast of the United States to be heavily dominated by one ethnicity due to migration and that reflects in the name and mascot of most successful franchise from that city- one that has won the National Championship in the sport the most number of times. Which franchise am I talking about?
  • 9. Question 3 "People would refer to me as an actor and I would be very angry. Mujhe gussa aata thaa. I did the movie because a lot of scenes were just about playing. But staying outdoor for four months hampered my game and I didn't want that to happen ever again." Identify the speaker- an alliterative name who is sure to be victorious and light up the face of the country.
  • 12. Question 4 Ferdinand Marcos was one of the lesser known dictators in history with his tyrannical policies leading to changing of the constitution of the country, systematic killing of communists under his regime and the imposition of martial law in 1972. 3 years after the imposition, when his government were facing the flak from the United Nations, he decided to divert all attention of the global press and improve the image of his country. The two protagonists were against the exciting event taking place in a hot, humid city but eventually, the paycheck spoke and one of the most heinous dictators successfully hosted one of the most important sporting events of the 20th century. Which event?
  • 15. Question 5 An excellent documentary film by Jason Kohn on the troubled relationship between Andre Agassi and his childhood coach, Nick Bollettieri and how their relentless pursuit of excellence distanced the two men. Simply tell me the 3 word name of the documentary, one that derives its name because of how the affection between the two reached a new low and how a term in tennis came about from the French word for egg, “l’oeuf ”. In the documentary, Agassi says that his friends and family gave him a nickname at the start of his career because of his distant nature and his endeavour to make himself and his opponent suffer in order to win the game. Give me the nickname, also the alter ego of a Vietnam veteran who goes rogue after the death of his family.
  • 18. Question 6 Voted the 3rd Greatest Scot of All Time after William Wallace and Rabbie Burns, this is a famous bust of the man outside a certain establishment in Madrid, with the sportsmen associated with these establishments holding him in high regard for being one who single handedly extended their careers and saved them from fatality. Whose bust outside which establishment?
  • 21. Question 7 When the Kontinental Hockey League was formed in 2008, they decided to name the trophy in honour of someone whose otherworldly ascent has been used as a metaphor for the recent Russian breakthrough in Ice Hockey. After whom is the trophy named? One of the most successful teams in the said tournament, this 2-time champion team is one owned by a sports and fitness society whose motto was “Power in Motion”. Which team be this, far more well known in another sport?
  • 24. Question 8 Like his biblical namesake, he was a saviour and the hero behind the genesis of a new belief in the country’s sporting identity, captaining them to multiple Davis Cup triumphs and becoming so far the last person from his country to win the home Grand Slam. Name him. That win vs Mats Wilander also signalled the end of an era as he became the last player to win a Grand Slam using humble means, now all that had been made obsolete by the then rule change that reinforced more steel into the game of tennis. What am I talking about?
  • 26. Answer Yannick Noah Last Player to Win a Grand Slam using wooden racquets The rule change made metal racquets mandatory
  • 27. Question 9 Which municipality in Norway- once a venue for the Winter Olympics, gets its name from the fact that it was territorially smaller than the nearby town of Hamarr and had to be distinguished from it? In 1973, this unassuming municipality was the setting of a brutal murder- that of Moroccan waiter Ahmed Bouchikhi, with the killers mistaking him for one Ali Hasan Salameh. Simply, tell me who was Ali Hasan Salameh or why were the killers after him.
  • 29. Answer Lillehammer He was the Chief of Operations for Black September Mossad mistakenly killed the wrong guy
  • 30. Question 10 In 1962, at Madison Square Garden, when the two teams faced off again, the Knicks’ Darrall Imhoff, then a Olympic champion defensive player, was smarting after the embarrassment of last time and was out for revenge. This time, he ended the day with an standing ovation as he did everything he could- even put in tactical fouls whenever he could to stop his mighty opponent. What happened the previous time Imhoff and the Knicks faced the same opponents?
  • 32. Answer Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game
  • 33. Question 11 San Lorenzo de Almagro, a regional powerhouse in Argentine football, was established by Lorenzo Massa when he saw young boys were no longer safe playing out on the streets and offered them the backyard of his establishment, provided they had to help him and the others at the establishment on Sundays. Given all that, tell me who is San Lorenzo’s biggest and most high-profile fan. They also have an unusual fan in a Danish-American of Argentinian and Venezuelan descent who would’ve been a fantastic captain had he chosen football, but even in his chosen career, he has excelled. Who be this super fan?
  • 36. Question 12 While great technological strides have been made to cater to this marginalized group, the sport of field hockey has taken a completely different route and has banned all equipment specifically dedicated to this demographic. While the origins of hockey date back to the Middle Ages when this group was seen as evil or sinister, the sport maintains its ruling is purely for safety reasons, stating the likelihood of getting hit in a follow-through swing would be considerably higher. The only solution for people of this ilk who love to play hockey? Get used to it just as they got used to using scissors, can openers, and computer mouses. Which marginalized group is thus affected by the banning of equipment specific to them?
  • 38. Answer Left handers Left handed hockey sticks are banned
  • 39. Question 13 When asked about the reason for his instant fame in the wake of a staggering match, the calm, composed man said: “It’s probably because I look like a village sportsman out there in my glasses, the bald head and maybe people think: ‘That could be me!’ All the others look pretty professional.” Who said these words, famously holding on dear life, not allowing the opposition to draw blood in the match?
  • 42. Question 14 Louis Chiron, the man after whom the Bugatti Chiron is named, was the most outstanding race driver before the Second World War started, but by the time the 1st F1 World Championship had started, his powers had waned, when competing at 55, he finished 3rd in his iconic home Grand Prix. Going by that legacy, you’d think that despite being a tiny nation, they would’ve had some success in F1, but alas, only Andre Testut and Oliver Beretta represented them in F1 in the ensuing 50 years. Who is the latest from this country to take part in F1, hoping to make a far more lasting impression? He revealed in a recent interview that his literal godfather and his idol was also a terrific prospect, until that fateful night half a decade ago. Who was his idol?
  • 45. Question 15 In his yet unreleased film, Brin-Jonathan Butler gives cautionary examination of Cuban-American relations, and the economic and cultural paradoxes that have shaped those relations since Fidel Castro's revolution, through personal stories and interviews. One of these is an extensive interview of Teofilo Stevenson, arguably the finest amateur boxer in the history of the sport and how he refused to turn professional at the cost of millions, to honour the ideals of the Cuban People. Because of all these and his looks, what was he popularly referred to in the States? Tell me the name of the documentary, also the name of a rather ambiguous winning criterion in boxing, in which two judges score the fight in one way, while the other judge scores it the other way.
  • 49. 16. In a famous nonsensical land, the customs were really peculiar. For instance, the king used to advocate gilded frames for desserts, the queen seldom went to bed & strapped a pillow round her head, the courtiers turned cartwheels when they caught cold. The king’s old aunt, a cricket-lover by nature used to play cricket in a strange way. In stead of cricket ball, which fruitful item was the main attraction of her game?
  • 52. 17. While being remembered mostly for the national anthem controversy,the1500m Final of 1952 Helsinki Games saw one of the most surprising winners of all time. Josy Barthel emerged victorious after a photo finish, making him the first (& till date the only) OG Gold medallist from his country, Which small, land-locked country having a similar-sounding capital was he a citizen of? Which future neurologist, whose biggest claim to fame came 2 years later in the campus of a world-famous university, narrowly missed out on a podium, losing the 3rd place to Warner Lueg ?
  • 55. 18. “Peter Pan’s First XI, The Extraordinary Story of X’s Cricket Team” is a book by Kevin Telfer about a famous cricket team formed by X in 1887. The team full of literary stars, took part in a number of village cricket matches in UK before being defunct in 1913. The name of the team was an insensitive pun on a holy phrase that means “God is Greatest”, along with X’s surname. Who was X? What was the name of the team, that might well have caused several Islamic fundamelists raising their eyebrows? (Exact spelling required)
  • 59. 19. This is the poster of a 2006 Thai Sports- comedy that deals with a small fictional country Arvee’s road to Football World Cup.

However, FIFA arranged the match in which the only goal was scored by the skipper of the home side, Francisco Valdes, that too in a surprising fashion. The match ended within 30 seconds from the kick-off, just after the goal was scored. For which reason did the team from Europe decline to visit OR, simply name the venue.
