Which of these sporting achievements is hardest to achieve

Interesting video on various sporting achievements from the number of people to have won an Olympic gold medal,total number to win the Superbowl,how many have hit a hole in one,completed a marathon etc

Sports Achievements Comparison - YouTube

Couple of random entries as well such as the total number of people to have performed a skateboarding 1080 (1 out of 2.75 billion  ) ,badminton world champion, World's strongest man  

Number 3 is just ridiculous as no one cares about who has scored a Gol Olimpico (goal scored direct from a corner in soccer which is a complete fluke and in order to pull it off you need the goalie and his defence to be all at sea) Nobody tries to do this on a soccer field 

Only two people have made a 500 kg deadlift. Again a very random niche thing to be able to do just requires a certain physique and not much skill involved

Only 1 has ran a sub 2 hour marathon  quite impressive to be able to run for an average 13 miles an hour for 2 hours solid 

For me a notable omission from the list would be a Perfect Game/No hitter in baseball and there's tons of NFL,NBA records that will never be broken that are considerably harder than being able to pull off a quad in figure skating 

I think the corner goal is really cool in a novel way but the 2 hour marathon is insanity. Super-human.

Say a no no in the world series. Heard of it once . Be a unique moment harder than that a perfect game because that moment allowed a walk. 

Prop bet of any game being a perfect game. 

The random chance is 23 games in all of the 150 years of baseball is a .0006% chance given 150 years 25 teams playing 130 game schedual.

Or 6 in 100000 chance. Approximately 20000 to 1.

If you can handicap any game and find the niche it can be a lucrative payout. But expect to lose alot before it hits....

Examples. 

2019 season offered this prop.

No was a complete lock even though the chalk.

A perfect game yes was plus 900

No was -1850.

Dealing with reality and stats .

23 games ever vs all games played. ....

Skateboarding 1080 is impressive to me.  So many people have put in so many hours trying this. And only 4.

Interesting prop bet on the Perfect Game nature1970

If I was to bet it I'd like to get a little bit better than +900,say +3300 or thereabouts. Probably something you'd put $50 at the start of the season on and then start getting excited when you see those 3 zeros under the R H E on the scoreboard going into the 8th Inning on some random afternoon game in the middle of June

Again it's a market that's really hard to price up and it's a classic example of a book trying to limit liability on a market that is as unpredictable as you can get

Well Minnesota pulled off the corner kick last night soccer playoff anything is possible.

Futures are such an entertainment

especially if you bet a time spread.  

Moments to have your blood move...

Even a pick 3 has value in this context .

If a pick 3 hits twice a year you gain 33 percent on your investment.

However if it becomes close the same adrenaline value hits the gambler and where it will be close alot more often than exact it becomes a thrill...

Again in terms of entertainment. 

Saw George Best score from corner

Carlos Roberto scored from corner using outside of foot. WTF. He also did it on free kick

Is the sub 2 hour marathon an official record?

No way to do a "what % of population...?" On it but Rivaldo's scissor kick probably most amazing sports play I've seen

Was it a perfect game or no hitter where the ump missed the call at first base by 4 feet?

Such a bad call. Must have been distracted or thought he saw something that wasn't there, like a bobble. No way he thought the runner beat the throw

I remember Galarraga's almost Perfect Game back in 2010 

Umpire blows the call on Armando Galarraga's perfect game, a breakdown - YouTube

those wasn't a goal scored direct from a corner kick as the forward headed the ball in.

For an 'Olympic goa'l the ball has to go directly in from the corner without any strikers or defenders getting a touch on it 

Second goal ricochez off the post into net...

Didn't see the header....

Dibassy made it 3-0 with a header to finish Reynoso’s corner in the 39th minute.

See it now. Your right 5.

Did the math. You have to kick out 15 degrees from the out of bounds line line as the foot lifted it would have to move over the top and to the centered net creating a forward ball movement with a right handed spin to create the arc and enter the far side of the goals top net..... it's possible.

Similiar to purposrly shanking a golf swing or pitching a curve ball.

Marathon

hadn't watched that closely but terrible goalkeeping with a capital "T". not that much to do with an amazing kick.... i wonder if that's been done by anyone else though.

roberto carlos also has amazing penalty kick and a goal chasing a ball down the end line

rivaldo scissor kick.... have to check some other ones.

@jimrockford22

 yeah but look at the keeper's positioning on that, totally at fault for the goal 

all Ibra had to do was make half decent contact with the ball and it sailed into an empty goal
