About the manip: The Federation Olympics? The Academy Olympics? Whatever.
Notes: I was keeping the tv on and they were showing the Fencing semi-finals (with the Korean bronze winner), and I immediately thought of John Cho/Sulu and then it occurred to me… what about a Star Trek AOS Olympics AU?

The team
- Jim Kirk: long jump (athletics) [+ standard bearer]
well, considering the kind of jumps he’s been forced to do in the last three movies, I couldn’t not go for long jump.
He’d also be the standard bearer because hell yeah.
- Spock: diving
High jump or pole vaulting (because of ID) would’ve been perfect, but Spock is elegant (he’s a Vulcan), so I’ve been won by diving.
- Leonard McCoy: swimming (freestyle)
I wasn’t thinking about boxing (given a certain scene of Beyond), I wasn’t. Given who Bones is, a “violent” sport in which you have to hit the other didn’t work, for me, so I went for swimming (it’s a stretch as well, because of the start of ID).
- Nyota Uhura: taekwondo
Given how much physical she got in the last two movies; I thought perfect some martial discipline. I know she doesn’t specifically practice taekwondo, but it’s the closer we get with the Olympic martial arts choice.
- Montgomery Scott: javelin throw (athletics)
I admit it, I have no idea for him. He isn’t a fighter (Beyond proved), he isn’t a runner (ID proved), so… Ah. He strikes me as a thrower, don’t know why, and I liked him to throw something “precise”, hence javelin throw.
- Hikaru Sulu: fencing (foil)
You don’t even have to ask. Apparently TOS Sulu was using a foil, so foil fencing.
- Pavel Chekov: 100M/200M (athletics)
100M and 200M. Because we cannot forget his running through the Enterprise in ST XI.
- Carol Marcus: archery
I had not idea for Carol as well, so I decided on personal preference between what was left that was not related to any other practice already covered.
- Jaylah: 50M rifle
Don’t need to explain, seriously. She would excel in everything combat too but I like her better in the 50M rifle.
