    I'd go for soccer or volleyball. I think I'd go crazy if I focused on individual training, so team sports ftw

    Alexandra ("Alex") Morgan, Jordan Larson, and slkehl.

    I think cycling, gymnastics or rowing.
    I've always liked rowing because of the strength and speed. I think it's pretty exciting to watch. Gymnastics because of the strength, balance, also very exciting and cycling has just really captured my interest this olympics.

    Figure skating. I trained for years, but had to stop due to an injury. It is the best feeling in the world to be on the ice! (Maybe because it's so hot in SoCal):laugh:

    Tae Kwon Do / Judo. I'm big into martial arts, and I currently take TKD, so that's a no-brainer. Now swimming on the other hand is an all-around workout, and I'm all for that.

    Ooh! Tae kwon do too. That would be awesome. As for winter, it would be pretty amazing to ski like that, but I doubt I could find the courage!

    10 M Platform Diving, because I want to know whats it like to fall at 35 mph, and because I secretly think I'd be badass at it.

    I would try anything I could--particularly:

    Volleyball (Indoor or Beach)
    Soccer
    Trap Shooting
    Biathlon
    Weight Lifting
    maybe Basketball--still burned out :(

    I'm more than just a basketball player.

    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.
