Olympic events hubs and I could win

Hubby and I were playing the hypothetical/impossible game of ‘what if’ a few nights ago.
 
To understand how ridiculous the game is, let’s call the proverbial spade a spade: Hubs and I are a short and stumpy match made in heaven. While we like to imagine that once upon a time we were ‘elite athletes’, the reality is much different. We’re okay with that fact.
 
But for funsies, let’s go through the list and see what sports might net these two hobbits a gold medal!
 
#1) Archery: Not really. I can’t hit a fly with an oversized flyswatter, and hubs would kill himself with the compound bow.
 
#2) Rowing: While it’s a point of dubious pride that I have pretty amazing, flabby man-arms, it’s a foregone conclusion that a few rows with the oars and I’d be done. Snack, please.

#3) Judo: Hubs is super quick to yell ‘uncle’, so nope.
 
#4) Gymnastics: Although these cankles are super sturdy, I cannot touch my toes without rupturing a disk and going into traction.
 
#5) Cycling: On that little seat? Ow.
 
#6) Water polo: You mean “organized drowning”?

#7) Hammer throw: Nuh uh. Hubs would brain himself.
 
#8) Marathon: Hahahahahahahaha.  No.
 
#9) Golf: Only if there are moving windmills and bumpers for fun. Although I have heard the capybaras infesting the golf course are super cute.
 
#10) Steeplechase: Is that the one you can do on a horse? If so, then maybe

On second thought, maybe not.... Yowch.
