Plenty of choices.
One where being 'tall' is irrelevant.
Examples: Table tennis, boat/car/motorbike/aircraft racing, shooting (incl. archery), skateboarding and similar.
Not really competition sports but related: spelunking, rock climbing, sky diving, rafting.

I would try more indoor sports. Weight lifting, wrestling, boxing are good options. Shorter people are smaller targets for boxers. You could also try sports like bowling, darts, and cornhole. Size is much less of a factor in determining victory.

Baseball, golf, tennis, racing, bowling, and/or curling. That is all I could come up with so take your pick.

Height does have an impact in baseball and tennis.

@AaronKrieger Some people think it does because longer arms give more leverage. However they forget that the mass of the arm is also greater; as well as the drag coefficient. So any speed gains you might get for the leverage are lost in mass and aerodynamics.

That only carries weight when having to go a short distance depending on the sport and situation. For baseball and tennis height does matter because of speed over long distances or a decent amount. There's a reason why a lot of tennis and baseball players are tall.

Lol yeah I think they need to make weight at 100 lb. or something like that, but there have been some taller than you somehow. What’s the one where they sweep real fast… Curling that’s it!
