Four Olympic sports I could win right now with no training and no experience

No training, all confidence. File image.

Nothing like wall-to-wall coverage of the world's best athletes doing things that would make Isaac Newton roll in his grave, all while Celine belts out My Heart Will Go On (I assume ... she was singing it in French) to make you feel really good about where you're at athletically.

It might shock you to learn that even though I look a bit like a Yukon Gold (the whitest and starchiest of the potatoes), beneath this starchy exterior, is absolutely not the rippling pectorals of a bloke secretly moonlighting as a top-level sportsman. Try to contain your surprise, but it's potatoes all the way down.
