What Olympic sport would you want to do?
If you got to be an Olympian (non-professional) , what sport would you choose?
I think I would go Aerials (Winter) and Diving (Summer). Similar skills sets and something acrobatic

I'm going to assume hockey doesn't count for the sake of argument.
Uhmmm, I think I would go downhill skiing (the original one, not super G or slalom or anything, forget if it has a different name) for Winter.
And 4x 100 relay for the Summer. The 100 event is the king of the games IMO, but I'll assume I'm only good enough to be in the top four for my country.

Moguls are definitely my favourite Olympic event, but I kinda suck at them so not sure about that. Downhill skiing is probably the one I'd be best at.
As for the summer games, I'd like to be a swimmer. I used to be okay at the butterfly back in the day.

Biathlon, you're the epitome of awesome if you can cross country ski that far that fast, and still hit every target. I would feel pretty satisfied to be one of the best at that in the world.
For summer, I would say Decathlon, again, pretty much best all around athlete, win that you can say you are one of the most naturally athletic people on the planet.

I really loved snowboard cross at the 2010 Olympics so that's what I would love to do.
I'll go with Handball at the Summer Olympics since I could really care less about them, but this one interests me the most though.

Summer for me would be Kayak Slalom. Sailing would also be cool although I don't know how to sail.
For winter, I think bobsled or luge but not skeleton. Face first seems a bit too risky for my beautiful face.
