How about South Korea for women's archery? They've won gold in that competition every time the event has existed (since 1988). I thought China was dominant in ping pong (which they are), until I came across South Korea's dominance in archery.

No it doesn’t. They’re not the same thing and England has never sent a team to the Olympics.

Now come on! A JetPunker at Level 85 should know the differences between England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom.

(Although, some confusion is warranted, since the delegation is called the "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team," and they brand themselves as "Team GB.")

I wonder if a more interesting clue for GB might be something like - the first ice skaters to win an unbroken string of perfect 6.0s ? (I suppose it was just for artistic impression... I don't know if that matters) Wikipedia thinks Torvill & Dean are still the highest-scoring figure skaters of all time, although how you can say that with the new scoring system I don't know. It just might be more interesting than two random athletes. Or swap GB for the more interesting South Korean question above.

Need a little correction on Romania: Nadia Comaneci isn't the first gymnast to earn a perfect 10, however she is the first (and only one) who did it during the Olympics.

Perhaps adding "the first olympic gymnast" to make the sentence correct.

Read the title of the quiz again. It already states it's "Olympics related".
