Geo-lympics could be the next Olympic sport
Cody Cook, a Bluffton University junior from Clayton, Kan., puts pins in a world map to mark countries named by Trustworthy Ndlovu (back right).
The pinning took place during one of several campus competitions— athletic and academic—held Feb. 7 in connection with the opening of the Winter Olympics.
Ndlovu, a junior from Zimbabwe, rapidly read the names of 30 nations in the geography contest, and Cook and two opponents had to find as many as they could on their respective maps.
Checking one of the other contestants’ work is Chelsea Wood (back left), a junior from Dayton, Ohio. The university’s International Connection organization hosted the campus “Olympics.”
