If you could only win one (or qualifying in ONE) event at the Olympic Trials what would you chose?
Personally, I'd go for the 100free. Sheer strategy here. I'd get the 100 free individually and the 4x100 free relay as well as the medley relay.
Now, if we are talking non-relay events it'd be a toss up between the 200IM, the 50 free, and the 100 fly.
If I could WIN an Olympic medal in only one event I'd probably go first for any of the relays, but in terms of individual events ... the 200IM I guess...

i've got to agree with heather. if i could only qualify in 1 event, it would be the 100 free, for heather's reasoning and the sheer fact that it's my second best event.
now about winning an Olympic medal in 1 event, it would most definitely be the 200 back. it's by far my favorite (and best) event... and like stephanie said, we didn't have it in high school, which sucks!

I'm curious now, what if you qualified for something not in swimming. Say like the winter Olympics, what would you want to qualify for?
Bobsled or luge....fast, dangerous but looks like fun!
Oooh, nice thread, Heather!
Backstroke. Period. Probably the 200, because that's my newest fascination with my favorite stroke (we didn't have that event at my high school meets). But realistically (cuz that's really what this thread is about :p ) I'd go with the 100.
Too bad there's not a category for "mixed pairs" swimming. Cuz then I'd choose Aaron Peirsol (backstrokers make a h*ll of a team, whee!). And his being totally huggable has nothing to do with it. :rolleyes:

Downhill (alpine skiing).
