Dreaming of Olympic Gold

[Anonymous]

Feeling inspired watching the Olympics and thinking how wonderful it would be to earn Olympic Gold on home soil in either LA 2028 or Utah 2034.

Are there any sports that are easy to pick up and excel in with dedicated training

Fencing.
And not the stolen DC kind of fencing.

I don't think it's easy, but shooting and sailing are both sports people sometimes take up as adults and then progress to the Olympics. You need a sport where the fact you haven't been doing it since you were a child won't count against you.

Do you have any existing skills that could translate? Like if you were a good gymnast or swimmer already (not Olympic good but like good for a non-olympian) there are sports like synchronized diving or synchronized swimming where if you found the right partner and really worked at it you could maybe do it.

No athleticism, no strength, no strategy, no speed, no skill required.

Curling always struck me as something anyone could pick up.

Check out if you have dual citizenship and can represent another country.

Qualifying for anything from the US will be difficult given it's population and wealth.

Synchro swimming or diving? Are you kidding? They aren't quick pick ups and are incredibly difficult.

That’s an interesting thought. I would like to represent the US however am open to other options. I think my ancestors are British.

That's not any easier. Bermuda or Tonga or the Maldives?
