My Olympic Sport

I've watched swimming, diving, gymnastics, women's marathon, men's sprinting, softball, volleyball, tennis, and rowing - at least parts of them. After my viewing snips, I decided to ask myself - "What would I choose for my competition sport of choice?"

And the answer is - sprinting. It's over in about 10 seconds. I can't manage to do anything in 10 seconds, much less run 100 meters, so it's pretty impressive to see people who can. It's one of the reasons I like watching the Olympics - seeing that which seems so impossible for me become reality for the athletes who accomplish it. Amazing!
