Do you want either the sport or the competition, or both the sport and the competition? I am assuming the former, but will also provide my responses based on the latter assumption [in brackets]

Spoiler re: the last clue

Spoiler

Currently, mothballs are made from para-dichlorobenzene, which is C6H4Cl2. This is the same stuff that they make urinal cakes out of, and it is relatively safe, if unpleasant, if ingested. The mothballs made from naphthalene cause hemolysis (breakdown of blood cells) if they are eaten, and you can imagine that pediatric ingestion of mothballs is not that rare. Before naphthalene, mothballs used to be made out of camphor, which is even more toxic, causing seizures with the ingestion of amounts near one gram.

Spoiler

I believe that Vick's inhalers do contain some camphor, although the primary active ingredient is menthol. Mentholatum ointment also contains both camphor and menthol, but the scent of this product is more camphoraceous. Don't worry about using these products as recommended, however, since you are exposed to trivial amounts of camphor. But if you ate a jar of mentholatum, you might have a seizure.

The way that over-the-counter products like these "help you breathe easier" is interesting. They don't actually open up your nasal passages, but they do affect the cold sensors in your nose and cause them to misinterpret the temperature. [This is the same reason that mints feel "cool" in your mouth.] Your brain interprets the "cool" sensation to mean that the air must be rushing through and causing the equivalent of "wind chill" in your nose, and since this can only happen if your nasal passages are wide open, your brain tells your conscious mind that, indeed, your nose is wide open and you are breathing easier.

The only nasal inhalers that really did open up your nasal passages are no longer available. Benzedrine/amphetamine used to be available as a nasal inhaler a few decades ago.
