If you spent all your time training, what existing Olympic event would you have the best chance of making it in? Perhaps, the fact that you already dabble in the sport gives you a greater chance.

For example, I have been running both competitively in high school and as fun/exercise the rest of the time for the past 12 years, so I would choose one of the long distance running events as mine.

One of the shooting events if I was able to do nothing but shoot all day every day and money was no object. Even then I probably wouldn't qualify as an American. There's just too many good shooters in this country.

Men's basketball. They don't need me and we would still win gold.

That's like saying "I played basketball in high school so my best chance would be to make Team USA"

Rowing

Can't be that hard, Redman did it in how high.

EDIT: I bet the OT can get one hell of a sailing team together. It would be fun!

I'd have to say non driver in bobsled. Learn to run on ice and move your head.
