Or playing rugby for Wales. Used to pretend I was Gareth Edwards when I was playing as a nipper. My mother sewed a dodgy '9' on the back of my shirt.

I'm going for genius because what you accomplish in your lifetime will potentially last and benefit humanity for centuries.
Also what you achieve is arguably more worthwhile - the discovery of the principle of genetics (taken as a random example of genius) surely has to have more significance in the grand scheme of things that getting round France or to the other end of the athletics track or swimming pool slightly faster than everyone else.
Mind you, I wouldn't turn my nose up at great sportsman.

Let's say genius with average fitness, or sportsman with average intelligence.
