Made one mistake right at the end - clicked Croatia instead of Yugoslavia for the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo - my bad! 4/5. Great idea for a quiz, even if New Zealand is never likely to host an Olympics.
Why? Sarajevo is in Bosnia and Herzegovina regardless of any prior nations that controlled the area. It has not been under Croatia's ruling for a really long time or even never.
I see them hosting a Winter Olympics, especially as the format expands to not rely on one singular city as much. But summer is never happening unless it's after WW3
Pyeongchang 2018... The two Koreas did field one team together (women's ice hockey), and marched together in the opening ceremonies, but the Games were unequivocally hosted in and by South Korea. (source: Wikipedia)
Even though it says "Countries" in the title, I still protest that it is Great Britain, as you may know. I don't know if I'm wrong because I might be a bit biased towards myself.
A bit of some English terminology here... Great Britain refers to the island which contains Scotland, England, and Wales. It becomes the United Kingdom once Northern Ireland is included, then becoming a sovereign country.
Yes, a tricky one because a team from Great Britain, not United Kingdom, is represented at the Olympics. Team GB is almost identical to what might be called a Team UK, the only differences I can see being (1) Northern Irish athletes can choose between Team GB and Ireland, and (2) Team GB also covers Jersey, Guernsey and isle of Man, and most of the British Overseas Territories, none of which forms a part of the UK.
TBH not an easy one at all. It's over a century ago and Belgium has neither the elevations needed for the winter games nor a city nearly as large as those that currently get the summer games. I had a very similar country left to last but managed to guess correctly.
and there is a quiz somehow combining Olympic Games and Men's FIFA World Cup cities.
