What sporting event would you want to win?
 

I watched the French Open today where Novak Djokovic won a record 23rd major breaking a tie with Rafael Nadal.

If you could win any sporting event, what it be? The Masters, the Open, Wimbledon, the World Series, the World Cup, Olympic gold in the 100 meters, etc.??

FIA World Rallycross or Nitro Cross (formerly Nitro Rallycross)

Olympic Gold in the Decathlon. :D

I can’t decide, so I will say either the Masters or an Olympic gold in the men’s 200 meter individual medley (swimming). In my younger days I would have answered an Olympic gold in Men’s Mogul Skiing, but those days are long gone along with the knees I was born with.

America's Cup. All that sailing would be fun.

I don't watch the Americas Cup races anymore since they changed to these types of off-the-water sailboats.
The old day when they needed to change sails all the time was more exciting.
I'm talking about the Ted Turner and Dennis Conner days.

The Masters, huge individual cash purse.

Me too!

Looks like top boxers can become extremely wealthy.

Masters my wife says I look good in green

You can make a lot of money in boxing - but you can make a lot of money in other sports such as golf or tennis without the risk of brain damage. Most boxers suffer some brain injury.

I went to see the finals of the Americas Cup a few years ago in San Francisco to watch the Oracle boat beat New Zealand. The new boats are much faster and from what I hear much more technical to man than the older boats. When we cruise to St Thomas in the Caribbean, we take the excursion that mans 2 or 3 of the older Americas cup sailboats to race against each other. They take 11 or 12 people and assign them a certain task for the duration of the race. There are 2 or 3 experts on each boat calling out commands for each of us to do.

The Open at St. Andrews Old Course. Just playing it is a treat in and of itself.

Triple crown

What fun! We had a small sailboat up north and would do Race Week with friends on Lake Erie.

Women's World Cup soccer. Goalie.

For sure The Masters for me and for three reasons: 1st-great $$. 2nd- yrs ago I was removed from the property while I attempted to drive into service road in a rental car ( I just had to see the clubhouse while I’m the area) and 3rd- I get to pick the next year’s champions dinner menu which would be bacon wrapped scallops before T-Bone and Lobster w/ baked potatoe and Rita Italian ice gelato. Hmmm!

Growing up in Australia I played competitive netball and squash so either of those top spots would have been cool.

An Olympic medal in show jumping....... ideally on my own horse.

Remote control TV channel changing.

Stanley Cup… and it’s not even close for a second choice!

To an extent having my name engraved on the Cup would ‘keep it in the family’. My uncle was the second U.S. citizen to have his name on the Cup—with the 1936-37 Detroit Red Wings.

Winning
 

Tour de France looks like one of the hardest to win, going for weeks, riding up hills, bumping each other. The stamina to win this race and that reward makes it the one to win.

Sporting Event
 

Wimbledon!

Your conker got stamps

British Open at St. Andrews. I got to visit St. Andrews in the late '90s, not during the Open. Lovely venue. I bought a hat in the gift shop.

The World Series. I would want to be on a Chicago Cub team that wins the World Series again. My dream hands down!

By far The Masters. Guarantees you can play at least 2 rounds a year, till you give it up.

Daytona 500!

I think at our ages we should forget about any of the above pipe dreams and focus on what event we would like to win in our age group in the annual Village’s senior games. Reality can suck sometimes.
