Magic sports question

[Rjk]

You save the life of a wizard somehow and he decides to repay you by granting you the following reward:
He allows you to choose one sport and he will make you perform as the best in the world at that sport for the next 10 times you compete in it - after that you will revert to your current level of ability in it.

What sport would you choose?

Re: Magic sports question

Although I hate it and don’t think it’s a proper sport, golf.

Reason, to win as much money as possible, then go back to being a normal person and if I wanna go walking, I can do it without lugging numerous lumps of metal around

But you can't just go straight into the big money tournaments, presumably they have some sort of qualifying process you would have to do first?

Re: Magic sports question

If you were by far the quickest bowler in world cricket, I’d say it would be possible to get to the top of that sport within ten games, but I don’t think you’d make too much money doing it.

Football. A big side would sign you up on a long contract for mega money. Once you've got that in the bag, you can be as shit as you want!

Re: Magic sports question

If you chose football, you'd have to make sure you videoed your first game (likely to be a parks game) and then send copies to all the major clubs.
Your second and third games would hopefully have Premier League scouts watching.
Your fourth and fifth games would be with a club's development side.
The sixth game would be coming on as a substitute.
Your seventh game would be starting for the first team.
At the start of your eighth game, you will have signed a much-publicised full-contract, with your agent insisting that you will always be the club's highest paid player signing a 'Warnockesque' 5 year deal.
Ninth and tenth games you have to fend off rumours of interest from Cardiff City.

For your eleventh game you do indeed get signed by Cardiff City and continue to play for them at your previous level of ability...

football would be one of the worst I think, you'd start at a sunday league club presumably, win a couple of games and maybe some scouts come to watch - you'll have used all 10 games up before you've got anywhere near the big money.

Re: Magic sports question

My thoughts on this would be marathon running - far from my ideal sport, but you can enter for example the london marathon as an amateur and if you won it, beating the elite you'd get a lot of sponsoship opportunities and then automatically be able to compete at the highest level - if you timed it right you might get an olympics etc

I'd wait until my 60s, take up gymnastics and become a tiktok sensation.

Not a bad idea.
