Question

Do you have to do other competitions to be in the olympics or if your really good just sign up.?

Answer 1

in united states, you have to compete in an olympic trial

Answer 2

Just turn up on the day. Apparently you just wait in a queue ( it's quite long ) and it's first come first served so you do have to get up early, and if you don't get in to say the 100m final, just join the queue for the cycling ( don't forget to bring your bike ). I was just listening to an interview with Chris Hoy and that's what he did, and he said if he hadn't got into that he would have joined the queue for the women's gymnastics.

Why don't you give it a go in 2012. Good luck.
