Let the games begin

Prompt 243: If you could be in the Olympics (summer or winter), what event/sport would you want to do most? Why?

You know, it is sometimes *really really hard* for me not to snort in disgust and throw my metaphorical hands in the air at these questions. The *Olympics*? A contest of physical prowess, held on Earth for about 200 years, with solely human contestants? Am I supposed to care about such things?

*sigh* But, I am *trying*, very hard, to come up with answers to questions that seem completely ridiculous and have absolutely no connection to my existence, which frequently involves answering the spirit of the question if not the way it was actually phrased. So I'll tell you a story about a contest I participated in, which actually *involved* tests of physical prowess between humans and other humanoid sentients similar to Earth's Olympics, though I myself obviously didn't actively take part in those tests.

( Games are the mark of sentience. )
