What olympic sport would be easiest to qualify for?

[robzilla]

If you started training right now, is there a sport you could qualify for in the next 8 years?
Im thinking weightlifting or rowing.
Is it easier to qualify if you move to a small country?
I remember Chris Chelios wanted to be in the olympics to he made it on to the bobsled team.

Curling, I was only 4 or 5 teams away in Olympic playdowns its first year of play.

Been to nationals 3 times. Game of touch and sweeping..

[Lookingtostart]

Women's basketball or soccer.

[as99]

USA men's basketball team.

weightlifting would be rough for a average sized american man or larger...

yes if you were a citizen of another country it would be easier 75% of the time....

I'm pretty sure I coulda swam for equitorial guinea and hold all their world records

guy swims like tarzan!!!!

I remember that race, some of his opponents got disqualified if I remember correctly so he finished higher than he should have!!!!!

[Chi_archie]

yeah the other 2 got disqualified so he raced on his own, was just a qualifying trial. they had no pools in his country!

I coulda almost swam 200 meters in the time it took for him to set the new country record for the 100 meters. I'm not sure if that was actually true though.

Go form a cross country skiing team in the Bahamas or Jamaica. You could start next year.

[Dutchie]

not every country gets automatic qualifiers for every sport.

[ODDmaster]

paralympics "running" ???

[shushu]

The broom sweeping actually acts as heating up the ice to have a thin layer of water. The rock is then able to go further. It also keeps the rock from curling as far over.

Curling is adicting. In Minnesota, there are tons of curling clubs/leagues. Can't make this sh!t up I know..

[tellson2]

that handball game looks pretty easy. just running around throwing a ball into the net. just have to have good cardio.

[peacebyinches]

was just about to say handball as well.

I feel like thats the kind of sport so few people aspire to play that any elite athlete would just dominate the hell out of it. Like if the USA basketball team had some free time during the olympics and felt like getting an extra gold medal for shiets and giggles, they could just show up and embarrass everyone
