My guess are those super heavy weightlifters. I am sure they are very strong but doubt they have have much cardio fitness and they are beyond obese. I predict very slow track times.

Abysmal track times.
Caster Semanya. Would only run an 800m in about 1:55:28.
Fitness is relative to the task. A weightlifter is fit to lift heavy weights. A runner is fit to run. Duh.
Archery and shooting.
Shooting. The +75kg female and +105 male weight lifters would probably be the slowest (although, some of the lower weight classes are pretty decent athletes).

I think discus athletes are pretty athletic. Do not insult the big people!

By running standards, probably not. There's no need for aerobic fitness in equestrian, but there is a need for a reasonable body weight. None of the equestrians I've seen are fat. Some of the archers and shooters are. But even they could probably run faster than the super-heavy weightlifters.

You've never been on a horse.

Probably a good call. The key variables are old and fat. My first thought was equestrian since they often are the oldest Olympians. But some of the shooters are older also, and definitely heavier.
The most unfit people in the Olympics are probably the spectators.
Probably the marathoners. They're so scrawny they couldn't bench their bodyweight...
Probably shooting, archery, table tennis, golf... Then it's a toss up.

No. Few people realize that the horses are technically the oldest athletes on average so the riders figure they should keep themselves in great shape if they expect virtual grandfather and grandmother aged steeds to win gold.
Horses are often well into their teens which is about like a 60 year old winning the floor routine in gymnastics.

Congrats on coming up with the dumbest analogy possible

Entirely correct. Congrats on being dumber.
