Made the mistake myself.

Take the variable bestSport out of the array!!!

Then you initialize it with:

<b>lastSport = sports[sports.length - 1];</b>

bestSport should be:

<b>bestSport = sports[0]; </b>

The problem is you assigned the variable lastSport to the end of sports array. You need to assign the value of the last element of the sports array to the variable lastSport. Here is a hint:

String firstSport = sports[0];

You don't need to declare the Strings bestSport and lastSport individually since they will be stored in the string array. The first item in this array is what sets bestSport and likewise for the third item in the array. Good luck and happy coding, Simon!!!
