What Olympic sport would you want to compete in?

Assuming you were physically able to and had the skills, training . . . .yada yada yada . . .

I think I'd want to do some sort of rowing event. Rowing has always been fascinating to me.
 
I haven't watched the Olympics in years..but I was about 10 when May Lou Retton won the gold medal in 1984 and I was SOO determined to be a gymnast after that...lol...too bad my mom wouldn't let me take classes... lol!
 
I always wanted to be a gymnast, even took classes and all that when I was younger. But I never stuck with it, too much work lol!

But I have to say that Michael Phelps is a total hottie, maybe I'd rather be a swimmer instead ;)

...you mean so that you could meet him in the warm up area and just say "Good luck, Michael!" and he'd say "Good luck, Shawna. See you later!" ;)
 
Javelin. I actually threw for a while in high school but I just don't have that much upper arm strength. LOL I also love gymnastics.
 
gymnastics for sure - I can remember watching the Olympics (when Mary Lou Retton was the big thing) and wanting to be just like her and those other girls.

I did catch the fencing girls the other night and that kinda looked fun too:)

Yep that's exactly why lol! Although I'd probably never get any training done, I'd be too busy staring! They said he's really good friends with that one female swimmer (her name is escaping me right now lol), being "friends" wouldn't be too bad I think!
 
For summer: swimming. I LOVE swimming and I love to do it. I was on the swim team when I was younger, but the best I ever did was win a heat on my own. lol

For winter: snowboarding!
 
Well, first I'd be a world-class javelin thrower so that I could make Breaux Greer fall in love with me and we'd make little javelin-throwing babies together...

but if I was being serious about doing a sport, it would be volleyball. I played it competitively growing up and I just love everything about it.
 
i'd want to be a horse in equestrain! no really, volleyball. it's my thang!

or gymnastics. it looks like sooo much fun. how they manipulate their bodies to defy gravity like that blows my mind!
 
In this dream land, I'd def be a swimmer. I would LOVE to have a body like that. Plus, I love the water :)

If we're talking a lttle close to reality, it'd definitely be soccer. I LOVE soccer and played for forever. If I wasn't such a smarty pants and didn't go to such a huge school, I would've tried to play in college.
 
I would have to say swimming. I come from a family of swimmers, so it's always been something that interested me, but I just don't have the skill.
 
It's Katie Hoff Shawna...They train together :) (uh huhhh)

I did gymnastics for about 9 years (started with I was 3) then I hit a growth spurt and it was all over for me (although i stopped at 5'4 lol)

I LOVE swimming though..swam for my highschool team. I could rock an IM relay

LOL :D

I tried out for fencing in high school and didn't make it past the first day I think. My thighs ached for like 3 days afterward.

um, am I the only one who thinks that swimmers have weird-looking bodies? :unsure:
 
When I was little I definately would have said gymnastics. I watched the movie "nadia" and became OBSESSED with gymnastics and made my mom put me in lessons - then discovered I'm a huge wimp and was scared of doing anything so that didn't last all that long.

Now.. oh I would LOVE to be a swimmer. I would love to be able to swim like that and have that kind of endurance (and body!)

i tried shot put in high school. the sprinters could throw it farther than I could. saaad.
 
Do they have an event in napping?

I like scyronized swimming. I can hold my breath under water for a long time. And shooting. I can shoot a gun pretty well.
 
Figure skating LOL...I wish I had lived somewhere with elite training. Sigh.

Summer Olympics...definitely diving! But I'm too much of a wimp to do that!
