In the spirit of Pierre de Coubertin, let's say that King Ulnar creates the Holmgard Games just like the Olympic Games of our world. Lone Wolf would surely participate to the fencing and archery events, but he could also participate to a third discipline. So, in which sport do you think he has a chance to win the gold medal? I'll say that he could win the long jump event. Do you remember when he jumped that 20 feet gap in Magnaarn's chamber in book 15? It's not even close to the Olympic record (30 feet), but in Magnamund and whitout the same training, I think it is pretty impressive. What do you guys think?
N.B.: No alether or other backpack and special items are allowed, they can be considered as a way of doping! Only disciplines can be used, since they are a part of the training of these athletes.

All of them?
But if you want to limit it to one, I'd say he'd win the sprint easily, considering he outran a pack of warhounds over much more than 100 metres. And that was when he was a lowly Warmarn.

I'll go with wrestling. Huntmastery gives him increased reflexes and eventually he suffers no loss of CS without a weapon with Weaponmastery/Grand Weaponmastery, so he'd be pretty good at unarmed combat. Plus he could use Mind Over Matter/Nexus/Grand Nexus to give himself a little bit more of an advantage if he needed it.

I voted for the marathon. He runs all over the continent, anyway, so he'll know where most of the worst mud puddles are.

I'd have to say wrestling most likely. All that elevated Weaponmastery NS.

My vote's for the Steeplechase, seeing as the hurdles shouldn't be a big deal for a Grand Huntmaster and for the water hazard he can just adjust his weight using Telegnosis to run right across it. Of course, the events I'd REALLY like to see him participate in are the Most Extreme Elimination Challenge! ;D
