What event gold would you want if you had the chance to be a Winter Olympian?

With the Winter Olympics under way if you had the chance to be a Winter Olympian what event would you want to medal in if you could? Would you care to medal for personal satisfaction or to bring honor for the nation? They did not have Moguls, snowboarding and such back then. However if I had the chance today it would be curling, not only is it mental like chess it is also physical so it is like the better of both worlds. My reason would be more to prove I could outwit my opponent not so much with muscle but with brains. Giving the recent luge tragedy would your choice have anything to do with the danger of it or lack thereof? What event would you chose and why that one?
