Mind reading
As a spectator to sporting events, there are times when the ability to read a sport(wo)man's mind would be... interesting.
For instance.
Yesterday's woman's 1500m final at the world athletics championships in Daegu was won by Jennifer Simpson. This was a surprise to many, including (apparently) Jennifer herself, as evidenced by the look on her face after the finish. See, for instance, this youtube clip (interesting bits around the 4 minute mark)
Alternatively, I'd love to know what went through Carlos Berlocq when he won his first game in the match against Novak Djokovic in the third set. I mean, obviously nobody expected the world number one to lose from a relatively unknown 74-ranked argentine player, but that doesn't make it less painful.
