Who are the MeFi Olympians?

Who are the MeFi Olympians?

So, if when MetaFilter is granted full UN recognition, who will the MetaOlympic Committee be sending to the Games to represent the old blue, green and grey? Have any MeFites actually competed in international sports? If not, who are the best athletes among us? I suspect #1 will pull a Prince Albert of Monaco and put himself on the cycling team, but who will lead our winter delegation?

Come on, sporty MeFites, let your skills and accomplishments be known!

According to my dream last night, Metafilter isn't going to become a country, it's going to turn into a fully accredited university. So really, you should be asking about college sports and related sundry competitions, like debate or something.

The best part of being a highwayman is teaching calculus to kids in East LA. Well, that and smoking Willie Nelson's weed.

I guess I'll have to practice shouting "Stand and deliver!" so that I can really bring my best game when the time comes.

Ha! Well, technically bridge is an recognized Olympic sport (yes, I agree, that's stupid), so given I've represented New Zealand as a youth player....

I've represented my university in Scrabble, so...

On a serious note though, from the link:
In order for a sport or discipline to be in included in the Summer Olympics program (but not necessarily be contested at the Olympics), it must be widely practiced by men and women, in at least 75 and 50 countries, respectively, spread over four continents

Dayum. That doesn't bode well for even cricket!
