Characters' favorite Olympic events?

B.J.

Just a weird thought that popped into my head while watching the Olympics - what's the favorite event(s) of the various characters? I was able to think of some obvious ones:

Archer - water polo
Boimler - speed walking :lol:
Picard - fencing, equestrian events, maybe distance running?
Kirk - equestrian events (from Generations, plus Shatner leaking in), sport climbing
Sisko - if baseball doesn't return as an Olympic sport, I'd say sailing
O'Brien - kayaking
Dax - well, Emony Dax was an actual Olympic gymnast!

Any others y'all can think of that would fit the characters?
 
Chakotay-Boxing
Reed-Pistol
Kirk- Kirk Fu Judo
Sulu-Fencing
Uhura-Rhythmic Gymnastics
 
I'm sure that in the 24th century, more sports will have been incorporated into the Olympics.

Riker:
Parrises squares. "One of these days you're going to fall and break your neck."
Or perhaps Anbo-jyutsu. "The ultimate evolution of the martial arts."

Boimler :rommie:

I feel like the Modern Pentathlon is a good one for Picard, since it incorporates all of your suggestions.
 
Somehow, I could see Barclay play curling (ok, winter Olympics, but still). I guess it's because that brushing leaves a bit of an ... obsessive impression ;)

(Not trying to insult people who actually play or love to watch the sport).

Data: wins a gold medal in any sport ('my servomotors are rated for walking speeds up to 150 kph'). Except possibly those that require some sense of aesthetics.

Do you mean to watch or to play themselves? (After all, Starfleet graduates are apparently such supermen they'd probably just as easily could perform sports on an Olympic level ;) )

Bashir - Tennis (he almost became a professional tennis player according to Distant Voices).
Janeway - Tennis (she played on the highschool team and later tried to pick it up again (Future's End))
Tuvok - Archery (which he taught) and martial arts.
 
Some that haven't been mentioned...


Harry Kim - hockey (we see him and Tom goimg to Sick Bay with ice skates over their shoulders in "CRITICAL CARE")

Tasha Yar - judo, Parisses Squares

Kira Nerys - Springball (or an Earth equivalent to Bajoran Springball appears to be Racquetball, so I'll go with that, too)
