Broncos' Olympic dreams and nightmares
We asked a few Broncos players which Olympic events they might excel at ... and which they might fail at. (sources from AP Images)
C.J. Anderson was thinking strength for his Olympic event, not so much speed. So the longer track events were out. Javelin was his first answer, followed by shot put.
Cody Latimer's worst event was an easy call for him, as he told Broncos TV he doesn't know how to swim.
Joking that they might need to make stronger poles, Max Garcia said pole vaulting was likely to be his worst event if he competed in the Olympics.
Long-distance running was a common answer for worst event. Chris Harris Jr. said his would be the mile run, which is about equivalent to the 1500m.
It's no surprise the rangy, lithe rookie safety picked the long jump as his probable best event. Great body control and a springy stride are two keys in the event.
DE Vance Walker said shot put was one of his best track-and-field skills in high school. He added that he finished second in shot put in the state in high school.
