For the Olympics question, does that include events within larger sports (e.g. track and field)?

That reminds me, Shirley, I was a fan of all of your long jumping. Well, not yours personally, but the whole sport of track and field.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Twelve
Interesting... I'm very confident in my wrestler, and was confident in my author, but now I'm not sure. I thought I played it super safe on both, and I'm confident my author is dead, too.

Went and checked after I sent. Any chance you expand that wrestler question to top 44 as of that year?
Also, my food one doesn't seem to be on the list either.
But, I'm on a bye!
