Comments: Which Olympic sport would you do?

With the Rio Olympics in full swing, there's been a lot of talk around the Newsround office about which sport we would do if we were competing.

Ayshah says: "I'd do gymnastics. I can't stop watching it. They're so incredible. Simone Biles is something else. But I wouldn't be any good, I think I last did a cartwheel when I was 10!"

Jenny says: "The heptathlon for sure. There are seven different events, so surely I'd be passable at one of them?! Jessica Ennis-Hill is my hero."

And Martin says: "Boxing because my family all like it and my idol is Muhammad Ali, who won an Olympic medal over 50 years ago. I always thought if he competed at a games, then it must be awesome."

You told us what sport you would do and why.

I would like to run in either the 100 or 200m races. This is because I like to run and when I grow up I want to inspire children.

Medhavi, 11, Essex

I would be a diver because I feel good in the water.

Isla, 6

I would like to do gymnastics and kayak slalom. I have been doing gymnastics in a club for 2 years already and I practice lots at home. I love watching the Olympics.

I would do running because I'm the fastest in my family and I might be able to do the Olympics in Tokyo because I'll be thirteen when it happens.
