Which Olympic "sport" do you think you'd be in medal contention for if you had 4 years to practice every day, you get paid a decent salary and you're training instead of work?So basically instead of working you just train in that one specific sport all kit is provided to you.I reckon most of them would be pretty easy to get to the required level to qualify within that time maybe just the running, boxing and gymnastics would be harder.Shit like diving and kayaking I think I'd win a medal easily.
>>142967569Shooting
Archery
>>142967569Haven't had to use it much, but I think I used to have decent acceleration, so maybe something with that. Maybe I wouldn't be in medal contention, but maybe I'd get on our rugby team
>>1429675693x3 basketball
>>142967569javelin throw
The manlet in the rowing competition
>>142967569>Shit like diving and kayaking I think I'd win a medal easily.You really have absolutely no clue about sports, do you?
>>142967582same, I'm already decent at the clay targets
>>142967569Probably most likely shooting or archery, but I'd like to see how high my ceiling in chong pong would be.
Modern pentathlon
Wasn't the Olympics supposed to be for amateurs? Why is Olympic Golf just pros?
>>142968628Football and ice hockey are virtually the only olympic sports where the elite athletes are not allowed to play
>>142968509Start paying me now and supply all the kit. You can have the medal when I win it in 2028. Just want to prove what a joke the whole thing is.
>>142967569I think I could do 3x3 basketball
>>142967569Besides the obvious shooting sports, shotput/javelin/discus seem to just be functions of how massive you can get.
>>142967569Surfing
>>142968628>Wasn't the Olympics supposed to be for amateurs?They're not, that's just FIFA shilling
>>142967569With 9hrs a day 5 days a week:Climbing would be easyShooting obviously Any of the horsey shitHandball, volleyball, field hockey any of that stuff nobody actually plays irlTaekwondo easy enoughAll the sailing onesSurfing SkatingAny cycling JavelinLong jump and stuff like that, easy enoughKayak so easyThe multiple event ones easyWhy don't governments fund this?
50m freestyle. I would be absolutely wrecked but it’s short enough of a distance that it wouldn’t be completely humiliating
>>142967569Most delusional post I've seen all time on this board.The only sport where it's possible is curling.
>>142967569None, are you kidding me. Those athletes already do that except they’re naturally talented at it and have been doing it since they were kids.
>>142967569Archery and air rifle. NOT clay shooting, i know how hard that shit is and how good those guys are. Archery because I already have some comp experience. Medal contention? No but it's the closest sport i could get.
we have these threads every 4 years. have any of you tried since the last one?
>>142978383These Olympic "athletes" aren't doing 45hrs a week training. They're doing 10 absolutely maximum.That's 18yrs worth of intense training over 4yrs.
