If you could be a top athlete in any sport...

[gbb]

Cribbage.

 

[Cuchilo]

Not wanting to derail the thread but the fittest has to be a boxer . I do some work with a boxing coach and was chatting crap . He said all the sports and then said do that while someone is punching you in the face .

It probably is a sport, maybe. I assume people get money for doing it at the top level..... it must be one hell of a sensation

Snooker player.

Oh for the heady days of the 70's and 80's when a top sportsperson could relax between shots with a pint of lager and an Embassy No. 6....

My choice too.

No worries about crashing, getting kicked black and blue or life changing injuries and you're indoors out of the weather.

Kabaddi looks like fun and the top players are earning a few rupees now.

Cricketer - the ones in 2nd and 3rd slips seem to have plenty of time to chit chat and get paid handsomely to wear Oakleys.

And if you can't catch, it doesn't seem to matter much!
I'm looking at you Malan!

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

World Rally Championship driver
'Balls of steel', unbelievable levels of car control at (to you & me) suicidal speeds through the forests
People praise F1 drivers, but for rallyists, the surface changes after every car!

High level Triathlete
I sometimes (not often enough) ride with an age-group champion, & he takes some keeping up with!!
I'd like to say I can stay with him, at a ParkRun but even at my very best, I'm still over two minutes+ behind him
(his other half is a 'fast girl' too!!)

Topless ladies volleyball.

Have you seen the American Football Lingerie league??
Essentially, the Cheerleaders with shoulderpads & helmets
I'll let you find it on YouTube yourself

Nordic combined. You are superfit from the cross country bit and you get to fly. Plus who does not love being out in the snow?

Didn't Greg LeMond do that, in the off-season?
When he wasn't being mistaken for a Wild Turkey

Not sure I could actually do it, but it must be one hell of a thrill!

I reckon you could do it it once, dave!

 

[Soltydog]

First winner of the inaugural Women’s Tour de France..................need to be a veteran section mind you!

5 pages long & only 1 wants to be a pro cyclist (on a cycling forum ) ? That would be my choice, for a start I'd be a few stone lighter & I'd be getting paid to ride a bike, win win

Yes I've noticed that,and they seem a friendly lot always seem to have time to chat to the batsmen aswell,its probably to calm his nerves or something like that

 

[Salty seadog]

You obviously already know that getting bladdered and eating macaroni pies, isn't a sport?

And for that reason..... I'm out.

Time trialing but i think i have found my level 3 years in . Doing more would ruin me !

If only someone would reinvent the time machine.....

Oh, trialling.... As you were.

Kabaddi looks like fun and the top players are earning a few rupees now.

My dad's a sports teacher and got a class playing that recently

 

[Salty seadog]

Extreme ironing. It is a sport.
