Winning gold at the Olympics, let alone taking part in the games is without a doubt one of the most prestigious honors any athlete could have bestowed upon him or her. There are approximately 1,000 medals up for grabs in Rio (and plenty of bonuses), but with more than 11,000 athletes taking part in the competition chances of bringing home gold, silver or bronze are pretty slim. Fox Sports came up with a list of the easiest (and hardest) Olympic gold medals to win if “you started training today.” The likes of archery/shooting, sailing and rhythmic gymnastics were ranked as the easiest events to win a gold medal, while golf, track and swimming were rated as the most difficult sports to medal in.
