Word on the street is, we're right
1. Juan Carlos Ferrero
2. Athens, 2004 (assuming summer olympics only, useless question otherwise
) 3. Doncaster Rovers
4. Cuba
5. it's got a roof?
6. 42k and 195m; you do the conversion yourself
7. Alan Wells, Moscow 1980 (assuming no women and no swimming
)8. 13.6
9. Kenya
10. A country with at least 90 million people and just one medal?...I'd say Pakistan perhaps?

1. Who was the last person not called Rafael Nadal to win the French open? Gaston Gaudio
2. Seven of the first 8 Olympics were held in Europe. However, including 2008, only 1 of the last 6 has been in Europe. When and where? Think this question is wrong.

3. In English football, who are the Spireites? Hull City
4. The USA have won the most Olympic boxing medals. Which nation has won the 2nd most? Cuba
5. What is unusual about the playing field of Boise State Broncos, a college American Football team? It is slanted
6. The distance of a marathon is 26 miles and 'x' yards. What is 'x'? 400
7. Who was the last white 100m Olympic champion and when? no idea
8. What is the World record for 100m running backwards? 12.4 sec
9. Which nation has the most summer olympics medals per capita (57 per million)? Hungary
10. Which country (with at least 1 medal) has the lowest number of medals per capita ?(0.012 per million) Kazakhstan

West Germany re a part of Germany, so the Euros weren't without Germany from 1972 to 1988. I've given points for 88 though. Still, see Steulen's point.
And answers:
1) 1991 (West Coast lost to Hawthorn)
2) Miloslav Mečíř (won in Seoul 1988)
3) Montreal Canadiens (In 1992-93)
4) Johnny Weissmuller (this should be better known tbh...swimming under a minute is a reasonably momentous achievement)
5) 1968 (1988 accepted)
6) 100 m hurdles, 200 m, long jump, shot put, javelin, high jump, 800 m (most people put 100 metres here)
7) Two (Francisco Fernandez, slalom 1972, and Blanca Fernandez, women's slalom 1992)
8) One (1999)
9) Five (Sampras, Krajicek, Ivanisevic, Hewitt, Federer)
10) One (against Greenland in 2003)

1- Some douche.
2- Athens, 2004.
3- Bah.
4- Cuba.
5- I know this! It's a blue turf field, the only non-green turf used in College Football. Plus the orange endzones.
6- Bah.
7- Yulia Nestarenka (sp?), won gold for the Women's 100m in 2004.
8- 13.6 (which is sad because that's faster than I can do it running normally.)
9- 57 per million! Guess some small country, Jamaica?
10- Bah, some massive country then, Brazil?
