Solutions

1:B - With a 14km time trial in Düsseldorf., 2:D - The Lions have played 39 Tests against the All Blacks, lost 30 of them and only won one series in New Zealand, in 1971, when they won the first Test. Don’t build your hopes up Lions fans., 3:D - The South African set the record in Czech Republic, becoming the first man in history to have run 100m in less than 10 seconds, 200m in less than 20 seconds, 300m in less than 31 seconds and 400m in less than 44 seconds., 4:F - They didn't qualify., 5:D - Milner also has 61 caps for the senior team., 6:D - “This is so hard because I don’t want to talk shit," said Herrig, somewhat unwittingly, after the fight. "I really like Justine. We’re friends. If I was in this position I wouldn’t want people talking about it and making fun of me but I know Justine’s making light of it. She made a funny tweet about it saying 'shit happens'.", 7:D - The woman in question was Hungarian porn actor Anette Dawn. Let's hope those pesky hackers are found., 8:A - But he's great with the ball at his feet, apparently., 9:A - "It's just about money, a payday which will allow me to buy some more land," said Collins. "I have no problem with Nigel. I have a lot of respect. I like him.", 10:D - Dmitry Tursunov, the world No701, said: "I would hope that I would win against Serena. Physically I might not be in the best shape of my life but as an overall package I'm much better than my ranking would suggest. She is pregnant, and I'm not."
