    Swimming!!! Either the racers or the synchronized, I did sychro in junior high, and then switched to the racing team in high school. I love watching all the distances I used to compete in and am amazed they are so fast. :drinker:
    Now I am a runner from 5K to Marathons and I would like to be on that level. They are awesome-sauce!!! :love:

    Rowing or Cycling - as a Brit, i'd probably take to it more than any other sport.

    Would love to get into either but storage of a bike at my place would be difficult and storage of a boat would be even harder.

    If I am judging from what I was good at, I was an awesome long distance runner in jr High and High school. But, if I just could decide and do whatever I wanted, it would probably be tennis.

    Bobsled. Ever since watching Cool Runnings when I was 14 I have been inspired.

    Gymnastics, track and field, or volleyball. I am built for gymnastics, have good flexitbility, and great speed and strength. Track and field, even though I am a little short for T&F, I love to sprint ("I'm wasted on cross-country! We Dwarves are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distances."--Gimli, LOTR). Volleyball, just because I love it. I played competitively for a brief period during middle school, and I think I had some potential to be a serious player. Just didn't have the right guidance or opportunity to play in high school.

    SWIMMING.:glasses:

    My father threw me in the water when I was 6 months old and said I was going to be a swimming champion and do him proud. i went to swimming school; I trained 2hrs every morning, 2 hrs after school; I competed; I broke school records, made state titals, quialified for the commonwealth games in 1982, screamed down that pool that night in 100m butterfly at the outstanding time of 1.28.00 my Father was very proud that night.

    I swim today to keep fit and control my weight.

    SWIMMING:glasses:

    Archery because I grew up doing it. Shooting because I grew up doing it.

    And then trampoline because who doesn't wanna fly through the air like that?

    And also kayaking. That looks like mass fun and I love to go white water rafting.

    T&F mainly anything related to Sprinter...

    Sprinter's Body is absolutely the best there is besides a swimmers body...(prefer to train on land than in a cold pool)
    To be known as the fastest man in the world
    Plus the endorsements! Bolt made $20 Million in Endorsements in a year.

    50m Freestyle (swimming) to be named the fastest swimmer in the world would be ace!! (I used to be a competative swimmer)
    Kayak / slalom - used to race K1's and go down the white water at Nottingham when I was younger
    High jump - I love how they can get that high
