1. The Nordic Games, were organised by General Viktor Gustaf Balck in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1901 and were held again in 1903 and 1905 and for more years before being discontinued in 1920s. The Nordic Games featured not only sports that the country excelled in but also showcased Swedish cultural events such as theatre, opera and folklore. But this event became the precursor to a bigger event. Which one?
2. The World Games, first held in 1981, are an international multi-sport event. WORLD GAMES were first conducted in 1981 at Santa Clara, California. The World Games are organised and governed by the International World Games Association (IWGA), recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The World Games are held every four years, one year after the Summer Olympic Games. Some of the sports that are currently held at the World Games are bodybuilding, power lifting, finswimming, squash, netball, water skiing, casting, etc. What is so unique and significant about these games?
3. During a Test at the WACA Ground in December 1979 between Australia and England, X hit a ball that went for three runs. Australian captain Y thought that the ball should have gone for a four, and instructed someone to deliver a rather mundane thing in cricket to X. Who are X and Y and what was this mundane thing?
