This answer guide applies to our independent bank. A real-world answer can be valid yet absent from this starter list. The same prompt text does not guarantee identical answers on another site.

Category: Sports. Accepted entries currently in this bank: 10.

Answer scope

Provide one example that satisfies the full prompt: Name one of the ten events in the mens outdoor decathlon. Read any restrictions on letter count, location, award or group membership before choosing. Use a complete name when possible.

Matching ignores capitalization and accents, recognizes prepared aliases, and can suggest conservative spelling corrections. A suggested correction must be confirmed with a second submission. The list below records the actual configured entries rather than an exhaustive list of everything that could fit.
