compete in the Olympics

I always thought cycling would be a fun sport, but that I would have had to have started from a young age. I had thought my best chance was shooting because I could take that up any time and still have a chance, as it has some of the oldest athletes. But, I’ve been inspired by a woman who won gold in Beijing who first got on a racing cycle when she was my age! I got a bicycle today to hopefully commute to work on. If it goes well, I may look into racing.

Other sports I think are interesting include archery, badminton, table tennis, and kayaking.

This is the archives for a section of ESPN. There one can find an ongoing series called “So You Want to Be an Olympian” about a woman trying to get to the 2008 Olympics in women’s cycling. Some of her tactics make for interesting debate. Right now she’s trying to get citizenship in another country so she can be on their Olympic team.
