While the data's limited, my sense is that it will be difficult given your 3.0. That said, I don't think "difficult" = "impossible" or "not worth trying." If you can spin your successful startup story and/or your Olympic alternate story into a compelling PS, Yale might even take you on - they are willing to dip pretty far from their usual numbers for applicants with compelling stories.

Perhaps a better question is why you want to do law school. Your personality type & experiences all seem to be a much better fit for a businessman/entrepreneur.

Lol if anyone is going HYS with a 3.0 it's you.

Good luck.
