I heart the Olympics. If

I heart the Olympics. If I could win an Olympic medal in one of the Olympics sports, I know which sports I'd choose. Summer? Soccer or swimming. Winter? Speed skating or cross country skiing.

What sport would you choose?

Well, maybe go for a bizarre sport - like the biathelon -- I mean, who said "Hey, let's combine skiing and shooting! They go together like peanut butter and jelly."

Seriously, though, I'd really like to be able to ski like some of the freestyle skiers or snowboarders, the ones that do the events like moguls and halfpipes (not the downhill racers).

Winter: Alpine Skiing (men's downhill)

Then I could hang out at ski resorts for the rest of my life.

Summer: Fencing (men's individual sabres)

Then I could be a stuntman in pirate movies.

(seems like I like heights, but really I just wish I could fly and do tons of flips.

Oh, for summer, definitely sailing, either double-handed dinghy or multihull (catamarans). Some of the sailing events are mixed (both men and women) and I'd definitely like to do one of those -- I don't think one gender has a distinct advantage in sailing so competing against the whole field of competitors would be amazing. Though last summer's sailing was boring to watch because they had light winds the entire time (gag me!)

Summer - 1500 meters, 5,000 meters or 10,000 meters
Winter - downhill skiing

I'd skip the CC skiing because of all the drug controversy. This is a good question.

Summer: Swimming. Not just one event, all of them.

Winter: Skiing - Downhill Giant Slalom (I guess I should put snowboarding since I used to compete in those events all the time, but the GS just looks so fun and fast.)
