Train your brain for Olympic success

Do you know your Goodhew from your Gunnell? Your Redgrave from your Regis? If you know your Olympic trivia, you could find yourself on the podium in the quest to find the Games Brain of Britain – the nationwide search for the UK’s expert on all things Olympic and Paralympic. 

With the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games fast approaching, National Lottery players have already raised a massive £500 million towards staging the event.  To celebrate the landmark, The National Lottery has launched the ultimate test of Olympic and Paralympic Games knowledge.

The free online quiz challenges sports fans with 15 questions, answered against the clock, which start easy but get steadily trickier. The fastest competitors will get the chance to battle it out in a national final for the chance to be crowned the Games Brain of Britain. As well as the prestigious title, they will also win a holiday of a lifetime to the Olympic Games host city of their choice.

But as every athlete knows, to put in a peak performance you need to warm up first. That’s where our exclusive video comes in. Join Olympic legend, Sir Steve Redgrave CBE, Paralympic wheelchair athlete and gold medallist David Weir MBE, and World Champion gymnast Beth Tweddle MBE to get in shape for the main event.
