Swimming - something long, like a 500m or 1500m freestyle. Except I'd have to do it in my pool 'cuz I'm not used to flip turns.
Or biking - the 27-mile time trials looked really interesting and similar to the 30-mile trail I like to ride.
Of course, they'd have to lower their standards considerably since it would take me three times as long as everyone else to finish either event!!0 -
Ping Pong..............it's fun!0
-
gymnastic bc anyone that can be that strong and petite, that can move like that, makes me want to fly like that! it would be my dream to become a gymnast, but im old and not yet fit, lol0

-
Definitely diving!! Love it! Unfortunately, they would probably laugh me out of the arena! LOL0
-
Beach volleyball! That's my sport!0

Basketball but I would want it with amateurs not professional players like it was now. Although it would be interesting to win the gold from a sport like badminton and see what that does for you.
Proud dad: "We are so proud of our son, he won a gold medal at the 2012."
Dad's friend: "Oh that's wonderful. I know you are so proud. What does he do? Track & Field, swimming, gymnastics???"
Dad: "Badminton"
Dad's friend: "Oh":huh:0 -

Judo/Taekwondo… I have always enjoyed the Martial Arts and the science of use of leverage and grappling. Swimming and Water Polo come a close second and third because I swam in school and enjoyed the heck out of it.0

I was a good all rounder so would have went for Decathlon or Heptathlon. I came back from a pro soccer contract because I was homesick and my old PE teacher told me to get down the track and change sport. I really regret not having done that
Ah refelctions with an older an wiser head lol 0 -
T&F 100 m. They're speed is ridiculous!0
-
Well gymnastics because i have always loved it. It is strength and grace. If it was winter olympics i would have said ice skating.
I was very good when I was a kid, I had a private lessons and i was once very graceful. Don't know what happened to that LOL.
Then I thought I was a smart *kitten* 16 year old and thought I was too cool to take lessons anymore and didnt so that went out the window. If i could do it over I would have stayed with it who knows???0 -

Dad's friend: "Oh":huh:
I didn't realize until this Olympics that most Americans view badminton as somewhat of a joke.
Where I live is mostly Asian, and that shiz is serious business0 -
Speed skating. My thighs are tremendous.

It's fun. When I was a kid we had a net in our backyard and we would get out and play. But yeah, most people here don't really consider that an Olympic worthy event. But seriously if you have a gift and can excel at it...go for the gold!!!0 -
SWIMMING!! For a variety of reasons, mainly I loved racing since I was a little girl, and the eye candy makes it all worth it.0
-
Equestrian, the horses are so beautiful. I would probably need a Valium before getting on a galloping horse though.
