Sports quiz: 40 devilish questions to test you and your friends down the virtual pub - including a brutal picture round

[King_of_lion]

Lockdown has got us all in a bit of a rut. There’s no live sport on the TV, you can’t leave the house and there are only so many times you can watch the Ashes 2005 DVD on YouTube.

So here at i we have compiled a bumper sports quiz to try to distract you. You can play with your friends, send it to the WhatsApp group or just run your way through it on your own. Maybe you're running your own pub quiz over Zoom? Feel free to use these questions. The link to the answers is at the bottom.

And if you want to play the multiple choice version, click through the slides - but that does not include the picture round or the links round. If you're a real quizzer, you won't be interested in multiple choice, so get scrolling!
