But some traditions continue. Because Brookes hoped sports would benefit everyone, not just the elites, the Wenlock Olympian Games allow anyone to enter on a first-come, first-served basis.

"In all events, you'll see some beginners, you'll see some people doing better, but everybody is welcome," MacVicker said.

The Wenlock Olympics is held on three consecutive Saturdays in July. To celebrate its link with the London Olympics, the town put on a variety of music, arts and entertainment on the second Saturday.

3. In which month does the town have its “Olympics” games?

Answers:

1. Much Wenlock.

2. 126.

3. July.
