Personally I'm going for genius. Less painful for the legs.

A great sportsman. Some genius types end up in living in eccentric squalor, poverty or mental institutes.

Went for geat sportsman so i could ride really fast 8)

are you talking on top of what you are now?

i couldn't cope with being a great sportsman if i was as thick as two short planks.

But I couldn't cope with being a genius if i was completely incapable of exercise.

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

By the way, it should be sportsman or woman. Apologies for my disgusting display of sexism there. Unfortunately I can't edit the poll.

With some of the recent threads i'm sure none of the ladies on here will be to offended by that :oops: :roll:

there is strong evidence that madness is very very close to genius, especially in creative people...bethoven, van gough etc

Sportsman.

Sinking the winning put on the 18th at Augusta with Tiger looking on.

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.

Don't remember pretending to be Isaac Newton or Mozart though.

I am a genius so it would have to be sportsman.

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.
