I don't know if this is a really good or bad answer.
Since the US men's team didn't even qualify for the Olympics, I guess I couldn't have done any worse.

The same 40% that say they are healthy enough to not need vaccines.

I absolutely would dominate women's wrestling

We found out last week the you can win gold in karate by getting knocked the frick out. We all have that potential

That’s ridiculous, but I could definitely make the curling team. I was a child prodigy but got caught up in the lifestyle of booze, drugs, and loose women resulting in a lifetime ban

There's no way 60% of men and 70% men under 35, legit think they could compete for a medal. This must be a sensationalized article for click bait. I don't know anyone who would legit think that could medal in olympics.

They could compete, doesn't mean they'd medal or place top 15.
That was my thought when I read OPs title. I can compete in a lot of these events. But, no way in hell would I be competitive. In my prime I probably could have done enough to not finish last in some of the track events that I use to run in HS

80% of Americans are morons

Sounds about right. Roughly the same % of posters here don’t understand why BMI applies to them but not DK Metcalf.

Still too high.

That’s about 95%. I had china virus, no vaccine, and did fine. I eventually got vaccinated, but I clearly didn’t need to.

I didn't watch this year, but if they added a masturbation event I could compete. Hell, I'd probably medal.

4%? Really? There are ~90MM Americans between age 18-40. Are you saying you think 4% could compete in the Olympics? That’s 3.6MM people.

Trying to think of a woman's sport I could medal in right this minute and I got nothing. Year of training and removal of this massive wind sail between my legs and I'm sure I could make my way to a podium.

When I was a kid, my family had a croquet set with wooden mallets. I thought I was jack Nicholas and shite. Later, we had a badminton net. Had a ping pong table. We then got a trampoline until my brother’s friend fell on the poles and knocked some of his teeth out.

Probably because of these Olympians

I am planning to be in the 2028 Olympics as a Pickleball athlete...

This is why we should never expect much truth from a survey.
