Answer 1

First of all, If you dont know what sport is your favourite...

Answer 2

that is fabulous, I say go for it - train, train, train!!!! Look at all the events and decide if it is something you can do - then just practise! Get some local club to sponsor you and go for it. anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Start local and small, and work up towards something bigger. Running and swimmng seem plausible, since I would think it is just a matter of training, building up your endurance to run or swim fast/ long distances.

I personally don't care much for the Olympics, but I think if it encourages people to get active - all the better... good luck, and remember, you can do anything you set your mind to.
