Do you think I could go to the Olympics?



Here are some of my times for various races, tell me if you think I could be a future Olympian or not judging at where I'm at right now.

(I am 12 years old)

Swimming:
50m breastroke-40.32
50 backstroke-36.77

Running:
1500m-5:13
800m-2:34
400m-1:04

your 1500 metre time is ok for your age. im 13 and ive done a 4:08.
i suggest getting a great group to run with, eating healthy [assuming you already do].
watch the olympics. they are next year [2008] in Japan.
my brother is acually participating in the World Youths the weekend in Chezk Republic. it is very similar to the olympics except it only does track events instead of all that other random stuff. anyways i suggest you watch, learn from the pro kids and btw you are very good at the 800.
You have very good times for you age in running. At your age it is still a long time before you can run in the Olympics. If you keep interested and train, and learn to run, you will be able to compete for a chance to go to the Olympics.
I dont know about swim times but you are doing very well in track. Keep working hard and they will continue to come down and you will find yourself in the heat of the battle and some championships.
Hopefully next year you will try competing at the JOs for track so you can see where you stack up against other people your own age.
Also if your swim times are decent you might want to look into doing the triathlon

I don't know much about swimming but those running times are amazing for a twelve year old.
