Never any good at too many individual sports (golf aside) although reached a half decent level at footie. I did athletics as a kid (800 and 1500) and so would love to have run those in the olympics

Double trap for me. I used to shoot alot and was pretty decent at double trap comps. If not then rifle shooting or archery.
Funny how there's no sports I can do that involve running around alot!

400m hurdles.
60m indoor sprint was always fruitfull and I was competent at 800m & 1500m despite loathing both events.

Having seen a lot of events I can categorically say it wouldn't be Waterpolo which really just looks like a bunch of massive men trying to drown each other whilst luzzing a ball about!!!
According to my Olympic body match on the BBC website I should have been a rower. In terms of promise it would either been sprinting or hockey goalkeeping. The former I had no decent coaching the latter hurt too much!!!

With my size it couldn't have been anything else could it.....
In my youth I was a decent Badminton player but if Fives was in the Olympics that would be my option.

200m & 400m. Equalled the County time in the 200m at 15 but 400m was my main event. Could fair chuck the javelin too - 3rd in the All Ireland at 17.

Did some archery when I was at school (dad helped set up the archery club in our town) and did some rowing at uni, which I enjoyed, but not to any standard. I was a reasonable shot with a rifle and pistol in the ATC and OTC, but I don't think they have a class using Browning 9mm automatics or Lee Enfield .303 rifles, but they did make satisfyingly large holes in the targets.
Having done sports that involved standing (archery), sitting (rowing) and lying down (shooting), golf seems
an obvious extension of strenuousness as I have graduated to walking.

You and 'Beaky' Falconer for doubles gold Ian ?
I used to be good at the slow bicycle race, and the egg and spoon race at school.
Olympic sports would have to be tennis and table tennis.
