GOOD MONDAY MORNING, Sisters!
Gabriele....I love those swimming caps!! LOL We all look like "flower heads"!!! LOL But I can do a few synchronized "moves" and still come up for air!!! LOL Gimme a pony and I'll bring home the esquestrian gold--and, like tango, I could do a respectable canonball off the 3m board!! LOL Not sure about the cartwheel anymore, tho...the booty tends to "drag" a bit these days....but for the sisterhood, I'll try anything!!! LOL
Your too funny Jet....I do like the swim caps too!!! I remember when you HAD to wear them at any public pool!!!
I remember those days too, CEK! But they weren't the racing caps--they were the clunky old ones with the chin strap!! When I was swimming in college we wore racing caps, then for a while swimmers didn't wear them, but now it is all part of the "style" with the googles as well!
I got this red mark under my chin and near my ears; I was allergic to the rubber in the swim cap! Dermatologists rely on people like me!

If you were young and fit...which summer Olympic Events would you most likely compete in?
For myself I am going to say any of the shooting events. I used to be pretty good with my little 22. Also short, fast, races.
Never have been a very good swimmer. And anything with prolonged exertion would bother my asthma, even in high school.
I always loved - and was pretty good at volleyball.
Cross country running would have suited me. But is that even in the Olympics. I haven't followed the Olympic Games in decades.
Edit: Summer, I mean. I still like the figure skating of the Winter ones, of course.

Swimming would be my first choice since I've had experience with it. Today as I was watching synchronized swimming I think that would be interesting too. I did take a college P.E. course in it (!) so learned a few basic skills. Oh--I'd need to have a "flower head" cap to look all Esther Williams-ish!!! They don't have rodeo events in the equestrian category, so wouldn't do well in Olympic equestrian.
Beach volleyball would be fabulous, but that requires exceptional height, so not likely to be too successful there! Archery is also intriguing and a possibility. I was never short enough or a small enough frame for gymnastics--but I always enjoy watching those little powerhouses do amazing things.
In team sports, softball would be my choice.
