For the Winter Olympics, I would say curling is the easiest. Why? Because the captain of the current World champion Norwegian curling team is a 44-year old guy employed as a manager. He does curling part time.


Curling it is.

Best chance has to be pistol, but it's still no chance.

Also maybe ping pong but i think I would find it intolerable after the first week. The other 3 sports, I could deal.

Curling. That shite looks so stupid it must be easy.


I briefly dated someone on the US women's curling team 5 years ago, my impression was that it's the easiest for a rank beginner to get good at but still fiendishly hard to be good enough to qualify for the Olympics.

Table Tennis

In 4 years I can figure out the serve, another 4 to work on returning it. Otherwise, my game is ready.

Hopefully it'll be in Los Angeles so y'all can come watch me.
