Could the Winter Olympics ever be held in the Bahamas Why or why not?
No. It's too hot in the Bahamas and you'll need snow for the skiing and snowboarding events (that's why it's called snowboarding- you ride the board on snow). Even if you tried to import snow from somewhere cold and dump it on the Bahamas, it would probably melt because the Bahamas is too hot for snow. Plus, the Olympics are often held in large cities. I don't know if Nassau would be big enough to hold the Olympics (you'll need alot of hotels to accomodate all those atheletes and visitors) and a lot of free space to build the necessary buildings and other things required for the Olympics.

That is the weirdest answer I have ever seen. I'll try and improve it though.
I think you have to be, not just confident in your abilities, and highly skilled, but also prepared to give up and sacrifice a lot in your life (junk food, free time, parties, etc.) to make it to the top.
I would recommend that you join a good athletics club. It doesn't matter if you haven't chosen an event yet, I would think coaches at the club can guide you to realize the extent of your abilities.
Beyond that, I grow less sure, but I assume that if you show promise and skill in your chosen event/s, you will be notified of Olympic trials. If not, you might be chosen for regional/national teams, etc.
Good luck!
