what sport would you compete in?

the olympics are ending tomorrow, and it's too bad, i love watching the olympics.

i was talking to someone about the olympics one day and we were talking about what olympic sport we would compete in. i've never been athletic or interested in sports, so even in a hypothetical sense, i wouldn't know what sport i would compete in.

seeing as i'm afraid of heights, not too keen on speed, especially in sports like downhill skiing, luge, bobsled, or skeleton, a little vain so i wouldn't want to have tree trunk legs like the speed skaters, and with my lack of athletic ability, i think the only winter olympic sport i could even have a remote chance at would be curling. not to knock the curlers, especially since canada won 2 medals in the sport, but if overweight, middle-aged people can be at the top of the game, maybe i can too?

i've always been more of a spectator than a player anyways.

kudos to canada for winning the most medals in torino than any other olympics we've participated in.

  • I think that being an Olympic curler would be so rad.

  • awesome matt, if they ever had a co-ed curling event in the olympics, you can be my skip.

  • I'd do speedskating, it's just like track, but on the ice. Fuck short track though. Bobsledding is like track too, but you only run 50 m, unless you are the driver. I'd do biathlon too, shooting guns and skiing, craziness.

  • I like the short track speed skating...the only thing is I would knock over the "gold medal hopeful" and ruin their chances. I'm with Ed on the Biathlon...can't go wrong with shooting guns.
