What would be your ...

a) Event(s)
b) Sponsor
c) Coach
d) The Name of the T&F Meet held in your honour when you've retired
e) Greatest Achievement

You can have any coach ya want. Whether you'd be a member of SMTC or are guided by your ol' HS Coach

If this is a fantasy world, then I can do any event I want regardless of whether I'm any good at it in reality, right? Ditto for the coach?

Pole vault
So's South Side 6 (a local convenience store & Lebanese deli)
Jon Stewart (because there's no coach like a short chubby comedian)
The Mighty Favog Pole Vault Romp, Motorized Barstool race, and Bellyflop Championship*
First to clear 16' while simultaneously chugging a beer

*the last two of these I actually saw on ABC Wide World of Sports back in the '70s

Now if you want a serious response, it might look like:
Long distance running
anyone who will pay me
Nobby Hashuzime
City of Toledo post-collegiate open
Winning the Deaf Olympics masters' marathon (as I almost certainly will have no hearing left when I'm 40; I'm nearly there at 36)
yes, I know there's no master's division, but we're playing around here!

I always wanted to be a decathlete from Kitzbuhel, Austria, or perhaps, Davos, Switzerland. I would, of course, win the Olympic deca in a stunning world record - probably would break 9,500 on today's tables. After finishing the 1,500, my girlfriend, obviously Halle Berry, would come over and hug me, and we would announce that we were soon going to Disney World - for major bucks of course.

A) The 100, 200, 400, & 800 (thats right) And I would hold the WR in ALL of them. Of course a huge controversy would soon arise - not for PED's - for the tecnology available has elimnated such endevors - but for suspicion that I am part of a US Goverment conspiracy to rule the sports world through genetic manipulation - headed under the ultimate conspirator - Bush - in a ACOAE programme. (Army Core of Athletic Engineers). Of course this is all rubbish - I AM really that good.

B) Any Major Supra-national Indrustrial Corperation controlloing raw materials - which are used for my S.U.P.E.R. gear (Super Ultra Perfomance Enhancing Raiment) Basicly the stuff I wear when I blow peoples mind as I blow past the competition. And of course Any Major Food Market - Free food.

C) Mic -from the Rocky Movie. Love that guy.

D)The OC's "Greatest Amazing Athlete" T&F Meet. The tiltle "The Greatest" used to belong to someone called Ali - now it all mine.

E) Being Born - nuff said.
