Heck, I've actually run 2 marathons and the people at the Olympics still do it about twice as fast as me, that just blows my mind.I'd have to say marathon. It would be obvious pretty quick who has never run that far in their lives. I'd be crossing the line after 9.5 hours with a starbucks pit stop.
And sailing. I wouldn't have the first clue how to pull that off.

Synchronised swimming. The timing is INSANE.What Olympics sport would you be able to tell the quickest that a person had never done it before? I say gymnastics, pole vault or diving.
lol I guess they make it look easy, but no way - so much goes into it for both horse and rider. You could memorize a dressage pattern or jump course, but try getting a horse to do any of the dressage requirements if you are a novice rider, or try remembering the course pattern when you are going at top speed over 4' jumps with some hairpin turns, particularly on a horse that has a lot of "go". Horses have very specific rider cues for everything they do - much is almost invisible to the general public - weight shifting, heel movement, minor finger movement on the reins, etc. More importantly, the horse is just as much the athlete and must undergo years of rigorous training to be able to do the patterns and courses required at that level. It would be like comparing forward rolls and cartwheels to Olympic level gymnastics.But what if someone was on a super experienced horse who knew the ropes?
I don't know track rules but how does diving to the finish line count as crossing it first?! I feel like in running, your feet should be what crosses the line first.

It's the torso that determines when you cross. That's why you see almost all runners lean forward when they cross the finish line. I don't know about in the Olympics, but I've seen several people dive across the finish line lol
Well dang, I would've done track in high school if I knew I didn't have to run 100% of the race!They mark your time by when a body part below your head (so torso down) crosses the finish line. It looked like smart racing to me, as she new the other girl had caught her and was staying with her and she timed that dive perfectly to beat her across the line. She was way ahead and got caught in the last 20m or so

I actually think swimming would be a challenge for a lot of people. I was shocked to learn that a bunch of people never learn how to swim and are actually afraid to be in the water! It's unheard of if you were born near water but much of the world is landlocked.
