WE’VE all been missing sports after coronavirus left events postponed or cancelled, so if you’re desperate for some gaming action why not test yourself on this tricky quiz. 

Brits are being challenged to name the sports stars from the emojis, but it’s not as easy as it looks. 

There are 12 athletes to name, from various fields including golf, tennis and football - so only a true sports fan will be able to get them all right. 

Some of the questions are in a ‘say what you see’ format, while others are more cryptic. 

The quiz was devised by UK-based betting company OddsMonkey, but the stars they’ve picked are from around the world. 

If you’re stuck over the answers, fear not as we’ve included the full list at the bottom.
