What sports championship would you like to win?

The Superbowl? A MLB World Series? NBA Championship? The Master's ? Lord Stanley's cup? The World Cup? An Olympic medal?

For me, it's Wimbledon. I would love to be a professional tennis player even though I have never ever played tennis. I would just love traveling the world to play in tournaments.

El Giro di Italia and/or Vuelta de la Espania.

I'm kind of fond of the grand tours on the european cycling circuit.

In my dreams, I take down Garry Kasparov with a series of brilliant wins that would be immortal in the annals of chess. Then I wake up and realize that his highest numerical rating was twice mine! So I guess it won't happen.

in women's figure skating!

I have weak, wobbly ankles, but I have always loved the grace and strength of figure skating.

What music would you play to win the gold? I remember when Oksana Baiul skated to Broadway show tunes. I knew she would win it on that.

You need something with both fast and slow sections to really show off your abilities.

Maybe . . . . a medley of music from Hamilton? Including bits of The Schuyler Sisters, The Story of Tonight, Yorktown, The Room Where It Happens, and Who Lives/Who Dies/Who Tells Your Story. A nice mixture of fast and slow, comic and dramatic. But those five songs are probably waaayyyy too long to fit into even a long program.

17. The Double Dipsea, Baby

I ran the Dipsea when I was in High school over fifty years ago, and, well, they used a calendar to time me, but I finished.

The Dipsea is brutal enough, with 671 steps and one ladder, but to do it TWICE is totally insane!
