Olympics
In August 2024, Erik Kynard was awarded the gold medal in high jump after the original winner was disqualified for doping. For which Olympic Games was Kynard awarded the gold medal? (Year or city are acceptable.)
London, 2012
Basketball
A much more popular basketball player - Michael Jordan - is infamously not a playable character in the SNES or Genesis versions of NBA Jam, as Midway Games was unable or unwilling to obtain licensing rights to Jordan’s likeness. (Players using the Chicago Bulls simply had to make do with Horace Grant as Scottie Pippen’s teammate.) Instead, Jordan appeared in a different SNES game - a bizarre game where His Airness had to save kidnapped teammates using super-powered basketballs. Yeah. Anyway, fill in the missing word in the game’s title - Michael Jordan: _______ in the Windy City.
