Summer: The decathlon; it pretty much means you are the best overall athlete alive.
Or the triathlon; it means you have the best endurance and are the most conditioned athlete.

Winter: Figure skating. A friend of mine is a figure skater (not Olympic great but very high level has won big time competitions) and I was amazed at how much went into it. Those people are very talented and you could practice for years only have one little slip up and end your dreams.

Sorry Bob Misty May got hitched prior to the 2012 Olympics. You'll have to settle for your imaginary wife.

[Bishop2b5]

Winter: Men's downhill. A badass, ballsy event.

Summer: Boxing. I boxed as a teenager. My last fight was against a guy who would go on to be the US Army middleweight champ, get invited to the Olympic trials, and have a 35-2 record as a pro. I came to the realization that night that I should probably consider other career options.

GO CANADA GO!
