Accepted
Decathlon
Nerd

Disappointed to see no parkour.

Correct
Archery
YESSS CORRECT THANK YOU!

3 day eventing. Nearly got there in my youf so what I really want is to be young again. Will accept showjumping as a mediocre substitute. Bugger anything that requires sore feet. The sweat, blood and tears go with the territory.
Wat
Snowboarding.
Definitely the worst choice possible
Well itβs either that or biathlon and most resorts frown on bringing rifles
Boxing
Reasonable
Rhythmic gymnastics. I can join the circus when I retire.
Nope
Boo!
Rhythmic gymnastics
I can accept this. It is not the optimal choice but it has artistic merit
Taekwondo
Also accepted
Swimming.
Not bad
I would just like to magically be able to swim and dive well and have the fitness and confidence to do it.
Pentathlon. Seems like some good skills to have in hand.
incorrect
I dunno; I think running and swimming fast, combined with shooting and sword fighting and a horse riding obby would make me quite dashing and gallant, eh what? Twirls ends of moustache and smiles in a suavely confident manner
Edit: ok I'd also like the winter Olympic biathlon, where I get to excel at cross country skiing and shooting stuff with deadly accuracy
Curling
Idiot
floor mopping is a highly sought after skill, dumb dumb
Synchronised diving
Correct π―
ARCHERY
Incorrect
Your mumma!
Pole vaulting or high jump.
But gymnastics or weight lifting would be cool too.
I guess you pass
