Your Olympic Sport?

[standards]

With the 2024 Olympics starting in Paris (& elsewhere francais) if you could be an Olympic standard competitor at any of the 2024 events, what would you choose?

Pole vaulter for me.

Standards Junior#1 went for javelin, his wife gymnast (& definitely nearest of the family who was anywhere near a suitable standard).

Mrs Standards hates sports.

I'd be a 100m sprinter.


Less than a minute of work altogether.

Archery. Always quite enjoyed it recreationally and I'm not terrible at it.

[Randy Winkman]

100 metres freestyle.

I used to be quite a keen triathlete and watched loads of coaching videos. So in my imagination I'm an absolutely brilliant swimmer and simply glide through the water. I cant understand why I'm not an Olympic champion already.

Eventing,

My instructor is a member of the Olympic Team. I am just a spectator next sunday and monday.

[Wacky Racer]

The man that holds the starting pistol.

[Nezquick]

100% golf. I would love to play at that standard, plus be able to make a decent living off it as a pro outside of the Olympics.

[ChocolateFrog]

Probably one of the ones where you just have to be rich to participate.

No one in their right mind would choose Rowing or Swimming.

Tennis probably the most lucrative.

[chemistry]

I’d like to try canoe slalom.

Modern Pentathlon and Biathlon for the winter games

When the zombie apocalypse comes I'll be the most badass person around

[Scabutz]

Swimming. 100/200m freestyle.

Especially now Phelps has retired

[lufbramatt]

1500m on the track. My pb from when I was a junior would give me a good shout for a medal*

• in the women’s race
