Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Weightlifting

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Modern pentathlon

You like doing it all, from shooting to riding, swimming, and fencing. Some may consider your ability to move from discipline to disciple flighty, but it's your superpower. In sports and socializing, you're a beautiful butterfly!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Surfing

You know how to ride all the waves, both real and emotional, Cancer. You're a sensitive thing, which means your timing is unparalleled, and you can go with the flow better than anyone. Surfing is your Olympic sport – if you can get your worries under control, that is!

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Basketball

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Fencing

Precision is your jam, Virgo. You're a blunt one and to the point. Some mistake you for meek, but when you see an opening, you strike. Fencing, with its fast, concentrated moves, is the sport for you.

Libra (September 23 - October 22): Gymnastics

Gravity's got nothing on you, Libra. As an air sign, you've got the power and strength to fly high. You dream of great love, tricks, and eloquence. If you were an Olympic athlete, you'd be a gymnast.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Swimming

How you glide through every social situation with an aura of cool will always remain a mystery, as is your ability to pull yourself through the water at lightning speed. You like splashing like a seal and have the mental gumption to stroke your way to any goal you set your mind to.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Table Tennis

Though the archer is your symbol, as a Sagittarius, shooting or archery wouldn't be the Olympic sport you'd aim for gold in. You like sports that pit you against an opponent and require stellar aim. You're ready to fight for a medal – and grin while you're at it!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Track and field

You need to feel your feet on the ground to succeed, Capricorn. As an earth sign with boundless determination, you can run and jump with ease. You'd make one heck of a fierce track and field competitor and could run and jump with the best of them.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Diving

Aquarius, though you're a unique air sign, you often get mistaken for a water sign in the same way that many forget the real art of diving happens between the platform and the pool. Besides, with your agile mind, you know how to twirl. You've got the chops it takes to hurl yourself from high heights.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Artistic swimming

You can do anything anyone else can but better and while upside down. As a wild fish with exciting creativity, you'd be perfect for artistic swimming. Plus, Pisces know how to hold their breath.
