DQ: Summer Olympian?
Following my established precedent of allowing each player to use their DQs when 20 is reached:
DQ 1: I am real
DQ 2: I am male
DQ 3: I am American
DQ 4: My last name begins with F.
DQ 5: I am currently alive
DQ 6: I am not known for the arts
DQ 7: I was born since 1900
DQ 8: I was born WEST of the Mississipi
DQ 9: I was born NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line
DQ10: I am NOT known for science
DQ11: I am NOT PRIMARILY known for political or military endeavours, Although I am currently active in politics
DQ12: I was born BEFORE 1980.
DQ13: I am NOT PRIMARILY known for business, although I am co-owner of a business
DQ14: I have appeared on television, but I would not describe my appearances as regular.
DQ15: I am NOT known as a criminal
DQ16: I was born BEFORE 1960
DQ17: I AM known for sports
DQ18: I am NOT known for a sport involving a ball.
DQ19: I am NOT known for a team sport.
DQ20: I AM an Olympic athlete
DQ21: I AM a Summer Olympian
Nitpick: Frazier.
Yeah, the Prof already caught me on that one.
Thank you! I have two remaining, then. Hmm. Still don’t know who this is.
Last remaining DQ: Track & Field athlete?
My intention in adopting that convention was to prevent the first player to log on and get to 20 from pre-empting the DQs of other players, but since the Prof and EH share an interpretation and everyone seems to be having trouble getting this American athlete whose name is known to a non-American member of a younger generation, I’ll allow it.
DQ 1: I am real
DQ 2: I am male
DQ 3: I am American
DQ 4: My last name begins with F.

Last guess for me: Are you Dick Fosbury, creator of the “Fosbury Flop”?
Congratulations, Professor! I have indeed followed my predeliction for choosing people with things named after them (Planck, Ampere, Dell …) and chosen Richard Douglas Fosbury, from Portland Oregon who is co-owner of Galena Engineering and currently running for the Idaho House of Representatives, but is best known for revolutionising the High Jump with the Fosbury Flop that won him gold in the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Boy, that one I had to stretch for! Great choice, fanganga!

I agree–great choice indeed! And congratulations, Professor!
I’d vaguely heard of him. Well done, Prof. P.!
