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.

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.
