Jeopardy’s Contestants Stuck On Olympic Runner Sifan Hassan Question
NBC game show Jeopardy contestants got stuck on Olympic long-distance runner Sifan Hassan’s question.
There’s no doubt contestants on the Jeopardy quiz show are some of the smartest people in the country and still they get headaches every time on sports-related questions.
During a recent episode, Jeopardy’s host Ken Jennings asked a question about Olympic long-distance runner Sifan Hassan in the “Real Fast” category.
The question reads, “Sifan Hassan holds the women’s world record in this track event: 4 minutes, 12.33 seconds.”
One contestant, named Sharon answered was way out of the league. She answers 50 yards dash for a long-distance runner Hassan which is ridiculous.
