Equestrian is the answer to a trivia question most people do not know.
Name the only Olympic Sport where both Male and female athletes compete for the same Gold Medal!
My friend and I had this conversation about 5 years ago and we concluded that best shot at going to the Olympics would be speed walking. All you would have to do is beat "the other guy" who actually competes in this event. I mean who does this in Canada? Train for a year go up against the one or two other guys who speed walk in Canada and Voila you're Canada's outside shot at a Medal!
Winter Olympics would have to be two man luge. Again based on numbers alone you only have to beat 1 or 2 other teams to be Canada's representative.
(this doesn't take into account world standings. This idea was based on Eddie the Eagle type qualification i.e. be your countries only representative and your off to the games)
