What is the best Sport to do for if you want an Olympic medal?

Question

What is the best Sport to do for if you want an Olympic medal but you aren't naturally a brilliant talent in a certain field and you are willing to put in hours of hard work?

I'm almost 17 and so by the London 2012 Olympics I will be 21 - so I've got time on my hands.

Answer 1

That depends on what your boday is suited for. Long jump and Archery i guess are the more relaxing and simpler looking ones...

Answer 2

none, to be in London in 4 years, that is just to get to the Olympics, you have to be very talented at something and work really hard at it.  4 years isn't much when it comes to training for the Olympics.  Now to actually be there and medal, which someone has done in 4 years, that would require an extreme amount of talent.

Come to the US, you can probably make our badminton squad for London =]

Answer 3

this  shouldn't be one of those things where you watch tv get existed and look for the easiest thing you can find to get a medal. you should be doing this because you love the sport and want to be competitive not because you watch the olympics and go gosh i waaant one .but if their is some thing you want to learn try javelin i do that and it's not easy you have alot od mechanic stuff to learn the javelin cost about $200 for a cheap one and $500 and up for a good one this is a sport where you can be good if you work your *** off and know what to do  

Answer 4

no shot.... people train all their lives to make the olympics, not just 4 years, at an "easy" sport to get a medal
