Don't train for the olympic status (because even though Olympians train a ton they where born with an amazing sporting gift) but don't give up because you can still compete in lots of other competitions and work your way up to (if your good enough) an olympic status.

Hi there yes you can if you keep training and maybe join a local team eg i am Shane McBurney from Aus and u am hopping to get to the Olympics for discus so if I can do it you can there is no limit till you get up near Rio good luck in Rio

Cardio plays a big role in a sport such as curling and that is a decent time compared to Olympic curlers but you have to put in the time and effort. You also need to find a club to get started.

Hey don't worry watch this

i want to enter the olympics for the 5k run, i know i need A LOT of training as so far my fastest time is about 26 minutes (uhoh) but im short female (5,2) 15 years old and unlikely to grow anymore and i feel like i physically can't sprint and it's been like that my whole life. So is there even a point for trying? please me honest because i don't want to spend half my life trying to train for a olympic but never actually getting fast enough.
