For me it's got to be the pole vault!
Badminton and table tennis but I don't think that's one of them ☺️

I swear they were going to introduce the sport of sleep. I would win every time. Or chess I might stand a chance there.

I know a girl who aspires to play table tennis. Her training is ridiculous we used to make fun of her a bit in music, but she spends about an hour every day training for table tennis, she does running planking and push ups etc. to train for table tennis! Apparently it's harder than it looks at pro level.

Yup it's really hard but I love it cuz I was really good at it in PE last year in school 💖
Until they introduce competitive eating, you can count me out.

I'm half decent at archery, might beat some people

Equestrian because I ride horses
I'd take part in the torch-bearing ceremony because it means less chance of humiliating myself.
Summer games: track cycling (would enjoy most) or shooting (most likely to do well). Though I was half decent at long jump when younger.

Winter games: GS skiing or speed skating

Badminton or 100m:h:

Rowing. Men's eight (since I have never been in one), Men's Quad or the Men's Four. Either of these 3 would be cool. Painful and exhausting but cool.

Women's +67kg Tarkwondo... More of a Poomsae person (national level) but I'm half decent at sparring too
Swimming

Badminton or any long distance running event.
I loved the freedom I used to get from my bullies in high school when we used to do anything long distance as I was just so much better than them and had 15 minutes of blissfulness where I was on my own towards the front and they'd be pulling up the rear
I hear you sister.

Table tennis is. It's usually won by ping and pong which is why it won't get much coverage in Britain.

But if you did then it would be a thousand times more humiliating/hot.

Basically any rowing discipline with enough people in the boat so that you don't have to work as hard?

Rowing or Kayaking have always been jolly fun.
