Ah, sorry. Well I don't mind answering your other "free" guess, because I'm such a decent and honourable chap.

[Jamiet99uk]

Free guess - José Raúl Capablanca

I had to look this guy up, but no, it's not him either.

[DougJoe]

I am going to clarify in case you get confused:

This person would definitely be described as a "sportsperson", perhaps not everyone would immediately use the term "athlete", but in fact a great deal of athletic conditioning is required to be able to compete at a high level in this field.

Oooh, interesting. Racecar driver?

[Jamiet99uk]

Not: Rolf Harris.
Not: Ronald McDonald
Not: Juan Peron [Damo]
Not: Pele [DougJoe]
Not: Teófilo Stevenson or José Raúl Capablanca [BrianBaru]

Edited my last post due to some cross posting, asking again just to make sure it is seen - Race car driver?

Sorry Doug - I believe you have already asked two questions in a row. The intervening "questions" not asked by you were clarifications not counted as new questions, or free guesses. Therefore I'm going to have to ask you to go and sit over there and wait a moment while one of the other children takes their turn to ask a question.

Oh, sorry. I thought BrianBaru's free guess(es) lifted the ban.

[Spartaculous]

Free guess: Ayrton Senna.

[Jamiet99uk]

Free guess: Ayrton Senna.

You are the winner!

Yes, it was the legendary Brazilian racing driver, Ayrton Senna, the Formula One World Champion driver in 1988, 1990, and 1991, who sadly died while competing in the Italian Grand Prix in 1994.

Well done, Spartaculous.

Now it is your turn to be the question master.

[DarthPorg36]

Does the sport/sport event this person was famous for involve horses, stick-like tools (this includes hockey sticks, bats, swords), and/or throwing an object?

[DarthPorg36]

ah well I suppose my question is irrelevant. Good game!

[Jamiet99uk]

And sorry for my officious schoolmaster vibes there, Doug, you were on the right track too.

What a fantastic sport you seem to be imagining. The mounted javelin throw!

[DougJoe]

No problem! I actually had a different race car driver in mind, Juan Manuel Fangio.

[sweetandcool]

Free guess - José Raúl Capablanca

Huh, I guess Capablanca did die after 1936, just barely. I would have guessed him if I thought he qualified.

[Jamiet99uk]

Everyone scroll up and give Spartaculous some karma for his win.
