This sounded like a fun question to get me up on my day off. I would either be a losing swimmer or a winning gymnast. I love to swim, but I'm too short for the sport. But my height would be a benefit in gymnastics and I'm really flexible.

Floor gymnastics - I love to dance.

I always loved best the floor gymnastics with dance in the olympic games.

My favourite exercise in youth was jazz ballet .

I grew up swimming during summer, spring, fall and winter so it holds a special place in my heart. Memories......also luuuv dance and choreography so if I must choose an Olympic sport it would be synchronized swimming.

Truth be told, I've never watched an Olympic show more than mere seconds.

β€’ in reply toImaaan

I love the Olympics. Both summer and winter. Problem with it being in other countries is the air time. I know who won before I watch it.πŸ˜•

U can always pretend u dont know and act out all the emotions involved in watching a competitive sport. Feigning ignorance is such bliss. Jokes aside, I never know who wins cuz I dont go reading or looking at anything related to it beforehand. The Olympics isnt my cup of tea

β€’ in reply toImaaan

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. I have played basketball. High school here.

If I ever watched a game which is rare and mostly basketball or soccer its the last 15-20 min. Seeing the game in recap with all the highlight reel is more my alley. I'd rather play a game rather than sit and watch any day. I like to cheat too and trash talk with friends and family....loool

Show off😝. I'm only 5'1. I can swim like a dolphin though and can beat any amateur by a mile (Can you tell, I have a mild chihuahua complex.)

Yes, I think so, but I think I made up chihuahua complex because it's cuter. Who wants to look like Napolean.

I'd love to do either swimming, gymnastics or diving. I can swim. Not so much flipping in the air for gymnastic. Diving I would bellyflops. I can dream tho right?πŸ™‚

Ice skating. I wanted to be a professional dancer when I was younger. Stage, costumes, excitement. Ice skating would be the next best thing. But (there’s always a but), it’s very physically demanding and requires immense dedication. Something I couldn’t do at such a young age. So instead, I sit back and enjoy the beauty of the sport. β›Έ

β€’ in reply toIsinatra

I guess I love the Olympics more than I thot. The mixed skating doubles are great. I guess I like all of it.πŸ˜‚

Isinatraβ€’ in reply to

I find the personal stories of the athletes draws me in even more. What might start out to be a boring sport to me , becomes exciting. Like the Jamaican bobsledders. Not a drop of ice in the country, yet went on to win the gold medal. Go Jamaica πŸ‡―πŸ‡²! Or when the amateur American ice hockey players went up against seasoned players from Russia and won. Gives me goose bumps.

β€’ in reply toIsinatra

Absolutely. I love the stories too. I remember the Jamaican bobsledders. I enjoyed the paralympics this year also. First time watching them.❀

Yep; for me it would have to be something with horses. Alternatively for Winter Olympics, Seated Skiiing (paralympics)

Yep. The women’s beach volley ball teams asked the Olympic committee this time around if they could have uniforms that weren’t so skimpy. They were denied their request. 😳I have a sneaky suspicion the committee consists of mostly men.

β€’ in reply toIsinatra

I remember that. I think you may be right about the all male committee. Wonder what the wife's thinking are knowing their husband are on the committee. "Oh honey we decided to make the volleyball women's shorts shorter and sports bras tighter.πŸ˜‚

I would play darts as I can do that. Not very good though but it's the only sport I ever enjoyed! :D

watching the climbing was good in this Olympics the speed of them was good to watch maybe me and hyper could represent the UK in darts in seeing it`s something I`m good at a long with pool.

Hi LadyZen. I would be a sprinter doing the 100m as the adrenilin and atmosphere would be amazing. Out of Olympics I would be a striker for my favourite football team Aston VillaπŸ˜€

LadyZen, I've never been athletic but am a good card player lolWhat if I just sit on the side lines and be a Medic for those "just in case instances"

That's where my true passion has always been :) xx

That's not a bad idea. Just in case the hot Tonga guy from the olympics needs mouth to mouth from slipping on all his dripping oil.
