Yoyo picture's have gone.

3 - Ping Pong?

4, no idea. Cock and hen = ten, tennis?
Yoyo picture? No idea what that means!

Yes to 3...

...and on 4, you're certainly thinking along the right lines with 'ten'...

Yoyo, pictures are back! (I couldn't see them before, thought you'd deleted the link)

It's not ten pin challenge, a bowling game though?

It's a bit after the event, but I'm going to have to give up on 4. Any chance of another bloody big clue?

Gosh, I'd forgotten all about this - sorry. But happy to discuss further.

(That was your big clue... ;) )

If it's Daley Thompson's Decathlon I'm going to need both clues explaining :mrgreen:

Daley Thompson's Supertest (just in case).

I have no idea about the clues, either.

Both clues? Did I give two? (Bit drunk, so forgive me!)

I remember this clue:

4. A cock and hen, perhaps - but not Arthur's.

A cock and hen = Cockney rhyming slang = 10 = Decathlon.
But not Arthur's? Not Arthur Daley's Decathlon - Daley Thompson's.

I'll get my coat..

Oh!

"But happy to discuss further."

...'discuss' = discus. The picture was of the discus, from the discus event in DT's Decathlon.

That's the clue I went with and thought that it was Olympic Challenge. Oh well....
