I won a potato and spoon race in year 2. The instructions they gave said if we dropped the potato we should run to where it was and put it back on the spoon so I flicked the potato to the finish line and ran and collected it and won by an absolute mile.

I won gold medals for javelin shotput and discus in the Ayrshire championships as a wean. Although my greatest achieement was winning actual cash money at the Arran Highland Games 4k race for coming in 4th. There may only have been 4 people competing, but prize money is prize money, and I was just glad to finish considering I was more hungover than I’d ever been.

Probably making the team for a worlds level ultimate frisbee club, although I never got to play because of COVID 😩

Either that or climbing E1 trad.

As a lad I was pretty good at table tennis but never exceptional.

I won semi-pro doubles at a table football tournament in Lithuania once. Pretty crazy how serious people take table football (foosball) as a sport, really. Was mad fun though.

Playing 4th line defense on my high school hockey team, I managed to fall asleep on the bench and no one seemed to notice.

I was in Year 10 PE, playing rounders, my absolute worst. Hate that game. The teacher was the pitcher. I was at-bat. The teacher said to the catcher, “As soon as she misses, throw the ball straight to me.” She pitched, I whacked that ball and made it to first or second post. That’s my greatest sporting achievement and I still feel good about it now.

I won some medals for ballroom dance when I was maybe 8 or 9. Not a sporting achievement I guess but it required a certain level of athleticism and co-ordination that I’m severly lacking in my 30s.

Not necessarily my greatest but I have a certificate from school for swimming a width. 😂
