10:27You've got eight points.
10:37And at the end of the specialist subjects round, let's have a look at the scores.

10:47And in first place, with ten points, it's Mobeen.
10:50So now, it's general knowledge.
10:51And if there's a tie at the end, then the number of passes is taken into account,
10:55and the person with the fewer passes is the winner.
10:57And if they're tied on passes as well, it's a tie-break.
11:00So let's ask Ewan to join us again, please.
11:10Ewan, former 400-metre sprinter.
11:12It all started, of course, at getting that silver medal with the 4x400-metre relay
11:17in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
11:20I mean, that was a golden moment for the sport.
11:23That whole period, wasn't it, really?
11:25Roger Black, you.
11:26It's Michael Johnson, of course.
11:27Yeah, his famous gold shoes.
11:29I saw the back of those in the final with the 400.
11:31Just to make that Atlanta team, for example,
11:33I think the first five athletes in the British 400-metre trials
11:36all run under 45 seconds, which was better than the US team.
11:39So, you know, I was really lucky to be around.
11:41And I will add, by the way, sitting in this chair is more nerve-wracking
11:44than running in front of 110,000 people in the Olympic final.
11:47Do you still run now?
11:49Do you do any park runs or anything?
11:51I kind of did, and then I thought, I'm going to stop now,
11:54because people try and take me on traffic lights.
11:56Wherever I am, people try and race me.
11:58Oh, yeah, it's just like, yeah.
11:59And the worst thing is, when I do things like the London Marathon,
12:02which I'm never going to be good at long distance,
12:04the amount of people who tap me on the back as they go past,
12:06they go, come on, mate, you're an Olympic medalist,
12:08you should be at the front.
12:09I used to run for 44 seconds, not a marathon.
12:12But, yeah, I'll always...
12:13Not two hours plus.
12:14Yeah, my job was easy.
12:15I started there, I ran around, I finished there,
12:17I got my drink and went home.
12:18So, yeah, I feel very fortunate that I made a living
12:21out of something I truly love doing.
12:22I would have run for nothing.
12:24It was an honour to represent this country,
12:26and, you know, I tried to do it with pride.
12:28OK, well, you start with seven points.
12:30You've got two minutes on general knowledge.
