Match Olympic host cities to years

What you’ll practice

This quiz sharpens your recall of Olympic host city timelines and helps you spot patterns across decades.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can focus on accuracy over speed.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed by design: you’ll get a blend of iconic hosts and less-remembered editions to keep the run fair but challenging.

Before you start, pick the question count and difficulty that fit your goal—short sets for quick practice or longer runs for deeper recall.

Common pitfalls to avoid

• Confusing repeat hosts across different years (especially cities that hosted more than once)
• Mixing up nearby years when editions are only 4 years apart
• Assuming the most famous city is always tied to the most famous year
• Overlooking changes in city naming or local spellings
• Relying on continent/region guesses instead of timeline memory

Tips to improve your score

When you miss one, pause and anchor it to a nearby edition you’re sure about, then replay to reinforce the sequence.
