Given it *just ended* we should still remember what happened right? Twenty questions for 17 days. Note: If the answer is a country, their IOC code is acceptable. However, if the nation is correct and the code is not (or vice versa), it will be counted wrong, so choose one or the other.

Day 0 (Aug 5): After a rather lengthy Opening Ceremony (which many felt was a delaying tactic after the keys were misplaced), THIS MAN lit the Cauldron. It was the best Brazil could do after what happened to him in 2004.
Day 1 (Aug 6): The first event and the first medal was won by an American. Name the EVENT (we'll take the general term) and the GOLD MEDALIST that won it.
Day 2 (Aug 7): THIS SWIMMER smashed the world record in the Women's 400m Individual Medley. Her coach/husband, however, seemed to have done all the work for her, if you believe the commentators.
Day 3 (Aug 8): THIS NATION, the odds on favorite to win Gold, did just that in the first Women's Rugby Sevens tournament in Olympic history.
Day 4 (Aug 9): In a rather perplexing chain of events, Hope Solo gave up a goal to THIS NATION, forcing a tie. The US would go on to win Group G though. (Little did we know a few days later she would get even more vilified for her actions.)
Day 5 (Aug 10): In a case of NBC almost putting a hex on them by saying the "never" word, Kerri Walsh Jennings and her partner April Ross had to go to a tiebreaker match to knock off THIS NATION's duo of Isabelle Forrer and Anouk Verge-Depre.
Day 5 BONUS (Aug 10): Lilly King became a Cold War throwback sweetheart when she called out and then soundly defeated (and finger wagged) THIS RUSSIAN SWIMMER in the 100m Breaststroke.
Day 6 (Aug 11): Not to outdo [the answer to Q4], THIS NATION won their first ever Olympic medal (Gold to boot) by defeating their former colonial power in Men's Rugby Sevens.
Day 7 (Aug 12): In what would be his final Olympic individual event, Micheal Phelps tied for Silver in the Men's 100m Butterfly, losing to THIS ATHLETE from THIS NATION.
Day 8 (Aug 13): In the Women's Singles Gold Medal match, THIS ATHLETE won the first ever Gold Medal for Puerto Rico by defeating Germany's Angelique Kerber and becoming the only unseeded female player to win gold since the reintroduction of tennis in 1988.
Day 9 (Aug 14): In a case of "you'd think they would've won a bunch of these by now," THIS NATION'S Jemima Jelagat Sumgong won the first ever Marathon Gold Medal for her country.
Day 9 BONUS (Aug 14): Forget what Usain Bolt did. In the Men's 400m, Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa did the impossible: he won it (shattering Michael Johnson's world record) while being in THIS NUMBERED LANE, something which, until that day, had never happened.
Day 10 (Aug 15): We won't discuss the legal flop of Shaunae Miller in the Women's 400m (yeah yeah I know she goes to UGA), but...with her silver in that event, Allyson Felix passed THIS OLYMPIC LEGEND for the most medals by any U.S. female track athlete in history.
Day 11 (Aug 16): In a moment of true Olympic spirit, THIS US RUNNER collided with New Zealand's Nikki Hamblin in a 5000m heat and fell, only to have them both help each other complete what would be their last race in the competition (tearing an ACL, meniscus, and straining an MCL in the process didn't help). She became a media darling...until a certain trip to the bathroom messed things up.
Day 12 (Aug 17): In a semi final match against Honduras, Neymar scored twice for Brazil, including the opener THIS MANY SECONDS into the match – the fastest goal in Olympic history. (I'll give you two seconds either way). This set up a match for Gold against Germany...I still don't want to talk about it.
Day 13 (Aug 18):Helen Maroulis won the first-ever Gold medal for the U.S. women IN THIS SPORT, defeating three time champion Saori Yoshida of Japan 4-1. Her thoughts on a certain trip to the bathroom in Rio made her a social media darling as well.
Day 14 (Aug 19): With his third Track Triple Triple, Usain Bolt ends his Olympic career with nine Track & Field Golds, tying with two Olympic track greats. One is Carl Lewis. The other is THIS ATHLETE who accomplished the feat at Antwerp (3), Paris (5) and Amsterdam (1).
Day 15 (Aug 20): Matt Centrowitz won the first U.S. gold in the men's 1,500 since the Olympics held IN THIS CITY. Chicagoans can certainly relate to this.
Day 16 (Aug 21): As with every Olympics, one of the final events is the Men's Marathon. During the route runners had to make two short 90° turns on a pier housing THIS APPROPRIATELY NAMED AND DESIGNED RIO LANDMARK. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it opened in 2015.
In terms of number of BRONZE medals won, the US naturally was first with 38. Name the NEXT TWO NATIONS, IN ORDER, based on Bronzes won.
