City A.M.’s Devilishly Difficult 2017 Sports Quiz Part 1: The good and the bad of the sporting year
It has been another vintage year of sporting drama, from the triumphs of Anthony Joshua and Lewis Hamilton to the disappointments of England’s failed Ashes defence and Usain Bolt’s anticlimactic farewell.
But as the dust settles on 2017, how much have you remembered about those defining moments, or the storylines playing out off the field, such as Neymar’s world record transfer?
Handily, you can answer that question – and separate the Pep Guardiolas of sporting trivia from the Frank de Boers – by taking our fiendishly difficult quiz.
Part one below focuses on the year’s winners and losers.
