[QUOTE=Sternvogel] Heh. The one Central American country not specifically excluded in the OP. It’ll be interestng to see if such answers as “pole vault” and “shot put” are accepted – while they’re both Olympic _events_, they’re part of the _sport_ of track and field (or athletics, as it’s known in many places). [/QUOTE] In the same sense, swimming should be grouped into one then? ---

[QUOTE=WormTheRed] In the same sense, swimming should be grouped into one then? [/QUOTE] Yeah, I think that’s right. Swimming is the sport, and there are 34 events in swimming. I almost answered “athletics” as my sport; I think that’s technically correct and probably few other people would answer that, but if all the events in athletics were counted as a single answer that would be one of the worst, so I played it safe and went with wrestling. ---
