I was born in Sharjah – do the UAE need any mountain bikers I wonder?
Can’t be a lot of competition for the skiing places in the UAE, though 🙂
And to the OP, you haven’t got 4 years, you’ve got about 3 probably by the time you take selection into account. At 10 hrs/week and 50 weeks/year, you’ve got about 1500 hours of training – not enough for any skill based event I’d say, even an obscure one. (Google suggests 10,000 hours would be needed, although I’m suspicious that all the top links have exactly the same answer…)
Cross-country skiing seems a good bet, or you could be the next Eddie the Eagle?
Edit: Or get together with a few mates and start a handball team…
