Is there a sport or competition you can start at 30 and get world-class

literally any sport

Chess, assuming your IQ is 150+

I think fencing, golf or tennis would be your best bets. Honestly though, ability comes down to mostly talent and practice. Talent's a matter of luck and anyone who's been doing a sport since they were a kid will have a shit ton more practice than you.

probably not 1st rank world class, but you could compete nationally with 10-20 dedicated years in kendo

one of my sensei was a 7-dan and he started at 30

dude is/was a god

>>40946420
table tennis

curling
the canada kind, not the cep kind

I was thinking a more strength bars sport like wrestling/judo or some Olympic event like shot put?

You need roughly 10 years to (world-class) master something, would it be chess, boxing or chess boxing.

If you start at 30 you'll be 40 after 10 years of work, in a lot of sports you can't even compete with 25yo when you're 40.

Also remember : gym training is absolutely shit tier for a lot of sports.
