LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Title: “Sporting Chance”
Prompt: This week’s contest answer is a sport you’ll see at the Olympics this summer.
Answer: ARCHERY
Correct entries: 731 overall, of which 714 were solo

Straightforward Week 1 whose five theme entries each contained an archery term:

17-A: [Like a birthday ribbon, often] = TIED IN A BOW
23-A: [Radio personality who began her career as a trauma nurse in the U.S. Air Force = ROBIN QUIVERS. As in the quivers in which archers keep their arrows. I think the closest thing to a modern-day quiver is those little backpacks disc golfers keep their discs in.
37-A: [Groups you want to please] = TARGET AUDIENCES
45-A: [Some trade stocks on it] = ROBINHOOD APP. Funny (and possibly a bit confusing) to have two unrelated Robins among five theme entries.
58-A: [It means you may turn] = GREEN ARROW

Put ’em all together and you’ve got our contest answer sport.

I hope the summer Olympics actually happens.

Same — that’s why I got this puz in a little early, in case not. Fingers crossed. Here’s a nice archery moment.
