In what sports do you benefit from being tall other than basketball? Swimming is one of them, most elite swimmers are tall, but what else is there?

Any sport that being short isn't a extreme advantage, assuming you are built for said sport, e.g Usain Bolt, most of his competition isn't tall but he has good legs. Overall tall people have it good when it comes to performing physically, the problem is that it is harder for them.
strongman (not only size but they wont lower you place where you have to put atlas stone, so bigger = easier), volleyball, sprinting and american football to some degree (you dont want to be over 6'4 but perfect size is 6'1-6'4)
in an absolute performance sense? any sport except for horse racing and gymnastics
funny thing is: There's plenty of good swimmers that are in the ~6'7" range, but Michael Phelps is 6'3". The top 3 strongmen at this years WSM were 6'3", 6'8" and 6'8", but the 6'3" guy won.
Are lanklets eternally btfo by the 6'3" masterrace?
Define tall.
Volleyball.
Do long arms give an advantage in darts, pool/snooker, bowls and stuff like that?

I've always felt like lanklets could have an extreme advantage over all the gook manlets in professional badminton.

Shorter guys have some advantages in certain positions in American football (RB, sometimes skill positions like WR or CB/Safety, punt/kickoff return). Height can be superior because of the extra reach and weight, but it isn't necessarily always better. Little guys can be super explosive and slippery, so you'll often see guys in the ~5'10 range as slot receivers or running backs on certain teams

Yeah I play badminton and lanklets dominate 1vs1. In 2vs2 at least 1 has to be the lanklet and the manlet can defend at the net.
I am 5"10 but I live in the Netherlands so I might aswell be a manlet.
