If you were the "average guy" in an Olympic event as a point of reference...

You have to think if you had a little training in archery you could pass for a (bad) archer.

Like anything, some people will just never be any good. Archery is more mental than physical. I always compare it to golf. There's some people Butch Harmon couldn't help hit a golf ball.

I forgot about air rifle. I used to be a pretty dang good shot. I might could have not embarrassed myself in that at one point in time.

Table Tennis for me. I was a pretty good player as a kid and played hours a day.

 

I can definitely hold my own ping-pong, but I wouldn't stand a chance against those in the Olympics. However, I feel like I would be a great representation for the average guy.

Not saying I would be remotely good at it, or at an Olympic level, but I believe you could at least look the part. And then finish dead last.

At 70Ms I will agree with finishing dead last. I will disagree with looking the part. I would guess most would struggle to even hit the target.

Air rifle...with proper training, back when I had really good eyesight I could have done well enough to not embarrass myself.

2v2 volleyball I got walsh's number no doubt. :whistling:

At one time shooting trap or skeet. IT is REALLY, REALLY expensive though.

Reading this thread, I'm convinced most don't fully realize how elite ALL Olympians are.

Fairly confident when I say none. Doubt there's more than maybe 1 or 2 people on this board that wouldn't embarrass themselves on the Olympic stage.

 

Guarantee I can play handball.

Anyone can play any of them. Very very few wouldn't make complete fools of ourselves.

Disagree, I would have a positive WAR in handball.

You really think you could hold your own on the Olympic stage with the elite handballers of the world?

Yes. I think that's the only realistic one.
