Weekly sports quiz tests readers on records, safety concerns and controversies

The Guardian has published its latest weekly sports quiz, inviting readers to test their knowledge of the major stories across football, cricket, motor racing, tennis, cycling, golf, athletics and American football.

The British newspaper has released its regular sports quiz for the week, drawing on recent coverage across a broad range of disciplines. The short questionnaire asks readers whether they have followed the leading developments — from record performances to safety concerns, official complaints and matches that failed to excite.

Range of sports covered

The quiz spans eight sports: football, cricket, motor racing, tennis, cycling, golf, athletics and American football. Questions are built around stories and trends highlighted in recent reporting, giving regular followers an opportunity to check how closely they have tracked the headlines.

Themes reflected in the questions

Items in the quiz reflect a mix of story types: notable records and milestones, reports of hazards or safety issues, formal complaints and protests, and contests described as uneventful or lacking in drama. The selection is intended to capture both on-field results and off-field developments that have shaped coverage over the past week.

Audience and intent

The feature is aimed at sports fans who want a quick measure of their recall of recent news across multiple codes. It complements more detailed analysis and match reports by offering a concise, interactive way to engage with the week’s top stories.

Where to find it

The quiz appears in The Guardian’s sport section and is part of a regular weekly series designed to test readers’ knowledge of current events across the sporting calendar.
