Five Crazy Things: Olympic Dreams

Barbara: You might not all be as Olympic-feverish as Deb and I, but that won’t stop me from throwing out this week’s challenge: if you could participate in any sport in the Summer Olympics (we’ll do Winter when the time comes), what would they be?

1. Rowing, sculls, 2-person (this is one I could actually imagine myself doing)

2. Trampoline (could never imagine myself doing for fear of heights, but would love that free-flying experience)

3. Swimming (400 meter breaststroke)

4. Shot-put (just, for once, to be able to not throw like a girl)

5. Triathlon (this would be my dream sport—not thanks to any skill at all, but because it so so amazing)

Deb: When I was in junior school I participated in track and field. I wasn’t bad for a runt. When I got to high school it was over as my fellow athletes left me in their dust, height-wise. So...

1.  100 meters

2.  200 meters

3.  4 by 4 relay

4.  High jump

5.  Diving
