What Olympic event would you most want to medal in?

Definitely basketball. Basketball is already one of my special interests and being a world class basketball player would be a dream come true.

I wish that too. I'd be a lot better at that than I would be at swimming.

Archery, running, marksmanship (I'm already quite good with a rifle; I beat a cop at it, actually, five shots to the targets head, not one miss. I love bragging about that, cause otherwise I'm a wimp ) and swimming. Swimming just looks so graceful. However, I am a lazy swimmer, I prefer to float. My front turns red as a lobster and my back stays mushroom pale.

1. Track & field

2. Martial arts

3. Swimming

It would be the long jump.

Weightlifting.

Track cycling.

No WAY! I always got destroyed in dodgeball! I was too small to catch the ball and too oblivious to get out of the way!

I'd like to medal in swimming. I'd love to be fit and lean. My first love, equestrian, I'd like to keep just for me.

Gymnastics. I have no idea why. I guess it's fun flipping and flying around doing tricks.

But other than that... piano is a sport, isn't it?

Weightlifting, wrestling or women's water polo.

Here's the events:
Speed (for things like afghans, stoles, sweater bodies),
colorwork,
lace--I'd win the hell out of lace! ,
pairs (things like socks, gloves, sleeves).

Judo or Wrestling

also whenever MMA is in the Olympics, that too.

100m
Sprinting was always my thing. But, I went to a school where sport was never actively encouraged and my parents never thought to suggest I went to an athletics club either. At my school, we had no teams for any sports, no outdoor facilities and no swimming pool and we were never taken to the local pool either. Whereas, the other high schools in the area had netball and football teams and they also had their own swimming pools. My school was too busy ensuring that we were saying the Rosary and going to confession. Yes, I'm a little bit bitter.

My daughter is a promising athlete, at just 6 1/2, and is being encouraged (not pushed). She already attends an athletics class and will be joining the local harriers when she turns 8 (she can hardly wait). I'm not trying to live my life through my daughter. (Please shoot me if I turn into one of those Mums.)
