If you could be an Olympic athlete, in what sport would you compete? You could think about this based on your strengths or just what you dream about.

I love Rhythmic Gymnastics so that would be the sport I would compete in, in my dreams of course ;).

I think gymnastics would be cool. I always like to watch the gymnastics portion. The strength and flexibility it takes is pretty awesome.

I would definitely want to do either gymnastics or figure skating. I have always loved both of these sports so much. I used to be a gymnast and I really miss it :(

A swimmer or a short distance runner.

I was a swimmer in high school and college and almost qualified for Olympic trials as a sprinter.

My favorite sport is badminton, although I don't know if they have Olympic Badminton. I use to play it often with my sister when we were on vacation when I was a young girl, but then when I reached adulthood, I used to go to the sports complex weekly with one of my colleagues. To this day, I enjoy a smash around with the shuttlecock and I particularly enjoy beating my husband into the ground.

I've always been amazed by the individual sports. I think I would probably like to be good at running a track event.

Gymnastics.  Hands down.  I was a gymnast in the 80's.  Even had my hair cut like Mary Lou Retton.   I grew up and coached gymnastics for several years off and on for YMCA's, park districts and private clubs.  On of my regrets in not starting a job I was hired on for in a gym whose owner was a USAG mens olympic judge.  Oh the potential that position held.

Swimming. Love the water! Although ice skating is so elegant...

I'd love to play hockey for team USA and show the world that Canada and Russia will have a very hard time playing us!

I couldn't imagine myself competing in the Olympics too easily, since I don't really have that type of drive. But I've always loved swimming. So I would probably compete for that if anything.
