Wasserstein distance between $N(0,1/d)$ and the marginal distribution of $x_1$ when $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ is uniform on the unit-sphere in $R^d$

Let $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ be uniformly distributed on the unit-sphere in $\mathbb R^d$. Question. What is a good upper-bound for Wasserstein distance between $N(0,1/d)$ and the marginal distribution ...

Upper bound $\tau_C := \int_{\|x\| \le 1}(vol(C \cap (x + C))/vol(C))dx$ for a convex body $C \subseteq \mathbb R^n$, by reducing to a ball

Let $C$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$, i.e a bounded convex subset of $\mathbb R^n$ which has nonempty interior, and which is (A) open, or (B) closed (I'm not sure one makes more sense; choose the ...
