    Super speed and win a lot of olimpic medals with no effort. Apart for the obvious sprint race, there’s marathons. Also long jump (with that inertia could easily win). Swimming. Javelin. Also sports like football and basketball (and rugby and American football and maybe hokey) I guess. Smash one olimpic games, play a couple of years of other super paid sports. Retire and take it slow

      Telekinesis: train powers on people’s wallets, go “Window shopping” at local museum, go scuba walking, play badminton with cops, win every coin flip (damned be computers). Sell “proven perpetual power source” to musk and make bank before flying away in your car (depends on exact wording).

      Oh yea, and grab remote when too lazy to move over.

      Contact sports woth super speed is not a good idea unless you have very enhanced durability. The likelihood you will end up with brain damage or accidentally badly injure someone else and yourself is way too high. Track and field is clearly the way to go.

        I was more thinking of avoiding anyone because I am way too fast to catch! No way I am slamming full (super) speed in people!

          Just because you are fast doesn’t mean you can see all around you at all times. In any contact sport contact is eventually inevitable, because they almost always involve you running at people at some point.

            Eh, you are right I guess. Basketball and football is it then. They are paid pretty well as well anyway!
