What Popular Olympic Sport Would You Want to Try?

August 18, 2008

I actually swim, but I've yet to learn butterfly and breaststroke--and train so I can compete! :D

I started off with gymnastics wayyy back when. I was one of those little kids who would tumble all over the house and use my parents' bed as a trampoline.

Pole vaulting!!! But more realistically, I would try beach volleyball. It's the one sport I regret never playing in high school.

I'd love to compete in swimming. I love swimming and other than broad shoulders, it gives you a really toned physique.

Boxing! I've done it a few times and I really love hitting people.

I'm taking tennis lessons now, so I voted tennis. I would probably give gymnastics a go, though.

I did gymnastics when I was younger and up to now, I play tennis. I want to try rowing! Seems very hard on the upper body though.

I always wanted to do gymnatstics but I was always told I was too tall as a kid so never got too. I would love to learn some of that stuff though. How fun to fly through the air doing flips and stuff!
