I got an email from one of my friends in Brazil today morning:

"Free tickets to the Rio Olympics if you can solve all these! Good luck!!"

Clues:

  1. $\longleftarrow 8\;\bar{\uparrow} $

  2. $10 n=$

  3. $\text{log}_{\boxed{b}}a+\bigg\{x\in V\bigg| \;||x||<r^2\bigg\}$

  4. Darts, fencing, baseball, and skeet-shooting without golf, skateboarding and table tennis

  5. I, on a strange game

  6. Foul herb; no return

  7. Proportion led by acid dissociation constant

  8. Each stilt is broken

  9. $\begin{cases}y=x^{20x},\\ y=x^{16},\\ xy^2+x^2-2x=0, \\ x^2+y^2=1.\end{cases}$

  10. When you line up and quarrel continuously

  11. Hello, your majesty!

  12. $f(\infty)^t+\bigg\{x\in V\bigg| \;||x||<r^2\bigg\}$

Grid:

I really have no idea what this is all about, except that I have a feeling these are all sports related. Can you help me out by solving these for me?

Note:

  1. The clues above are not necessarily standard cryptic-clues. For example, almost none of them includeincludes definitions.
  2. Exactly half of them are related to non-Rio sports.
