Tuesday July 30, 2024 The winning "Try" by Alex Sedrick. Olympic Trivia Tarzan competed in the Olympics! Johnny Weissmuller, the actor who played Tarzan in the original movie, won 5 Gold Medals during the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics. Four were for swimming, and 1 for Water Polo. A few Olympic sports that are no longer part of the Modern Olympics are Hot Air Ballooning, Dueling Pistols (sounds dangerous!), Tug-of-War, and Pigeon Shooting (sounds dangerous for the pigeons!)
