If you could win one, and only one Olympic event, what would your choice be?
For me it would probably be the Marathon.

I agree about the Marathon. That has to be the greatest feeling, running into the stadium with all those people cheering. I watched Wanjiru win it for Kenya this year, and he was amazing. sub 5 minute pace for the whole thing, and then he full-on sprinted the last 200 yards.
But, back to reality... I don't think I would actually enjoy completing the full marathon. My event of choice, if I could win any event, would be the Triathlon. I would enjoy winning that race tactically, by drafting a little on the swim, picking some people off on the bike, and then passing the last few with a final all-out sprint at the end of the run.
