1.How often do the Winter Olympics happen?

Every four years like the Summer ones.

4.Where does the sport of judo come from?

Japan.

7.In which country is baseball the national sport?

You asked only for one country so I guess the answer is Japan again.

11.Why does the referee toss a coin at the biginning of a football match?

To see which team will go first.

12.What happens if the score is a draw at the end of the World Cup football final?

They will go for 15 minutes extra time and if it's still a draw, they'll go for penalty shootouts , which means players of each team will take turn to kick the ball to the opponent's goalie and try to score points.
