Magic sports question

Re: Magic sports question

Although I detest the sport (?) with a passion I would say F1. Topping the podium 10 races in a row would possibly be enough to win you a World Championship and the money you'd make would be astronomical.

Have a read of the thread again!

You realise that most F1 drivers started off go-kart racing/F3/F2?
Not even Lewis Hamilton got a seat in an F1 car straight away.

Re: Magic sports question

This is a thread about a wizard granting someone a special talent in order to perform and be the best for a short while in any given sport. A wizard ...Yet people are getting practical and saying that said person would have to start at the bottom of the rung, which would mean that the time the wizard has afforded would not be practical in real terms. **** me.......

Can we forget the sport and just discuss wizardry regulations?

What if you're the best driver but haven't got the best car?

Cheese rolling.

You would be World No1 for a decade.

And earn a wedge every year.

I think it would be for the best. It's a bit like when you have to tell your kids how santa gets into the house to deliver presents when you don't have a chimney. Anyway, i'd go for boxing, and i'd clean out middleweight and jump up and batter canelo, in Mexico. And my wiard would have thought about things, because he's a really good wizard :thumbup:

Re: Magic sports question

Baseball with international signing rules for young players outside of the US/Canada would be an interesting one. I reckon theoretically you could get a pay day without even playing a game - teams will happily throw a wad of cash at somebody who can reliably throw 100+ in nets or in a bullpen session in front of scouts. Playing a game or two and claiming a bit of arm soreness could then get you shut down to protect their investment. You’d never get the first pro contract, but teams regularly give 16 year old kids in the Dominican Republic millions based on nothing but potential. Similar to the cricket idea but with money up front

The marathon one is interesting but if you came out of nowhere to win the London Marathon everyone would assume you cheated and you’d probably be more likely to be banned than get endorsements. Great question btw.

Re: Magic sports question

But how would you get a ride on a decent horse?

The ten times I perform I’d be the best in the world, if the horse was a Barry Island donkey, I’d win and still be the best in the world. The marathon runner would be the best (winner) if he ran in hobnail boots, the footballer would be the best if he played in wellies. You do realise that there’s a very experienced wizard involved here, don’t you? He’s brilliant and knows wizardry & magic inside out………..I’m at Haydock Park in the 3.30 tomorrow, picking my ride up from Blackpool beach first thing tomorrow, get your stones on it.

By definition, you can't be the best F1 driver in the world if you haven't got an F1 team to drive for.
Your point is moot.

Re: Magic sports question

I'd delay until I was 80yrs old [not long now] before taking my 10 x options. It would be the 100 metres. Can you imagine the bets, the challenges, the media coverage, of an 80yr old out running the world's fastest athletes. After my 9th I'd announce I was retiring after the next one.
