re: Have you ever won a championship in a sport?

Here’s two odd ones.

When I was a journalist I was invited as a guest to a small city’s police department pistol tourney and won the whole shooting match. They tried to hire me afterward. Still have the trophy.

When I was in Vietnam, the ordinance people found 20 something LAAWs (think small foldable bazookas) that were about to expire and invited my squad of grunts to compete in an explosive shootout. They put several 55-gallon drums about 200 yards slightly downhill and I hit them dead solid 3 out of 3 times. I was crowned the “LAAW Man.”

The Nam could be fun at times.
