Do you have any favorite sports to watch or play? My favorite sports to watch are hockey, gymnastics, and figure skating. I don't play any sports now (my exercise normally involves a treadmill or hiking now) but I did play soccer and do gymnastics when I was a kid. How about you?

NAGINATA.
Worlds is coming up in Germany in a few months. I made a bid for my national team, so I'm sort of perpetually exhausted - full-time job, fanfiction-writing, several practices a week are killing me slowly.
Other than that, I like watching figure skating, gymnastics, fencing... that sort of thing. Heh.

Other than that, I like watching figure skating, gymnastics, fencing... that sort of thing. Heh. Naginata sounds cool, and it's neat that you are so involved with it. Training for your national team is really impressive, but I can totally understand how that would be exhausting when working a full-time job too. Good luck with making your national team. That would be an awesome accomplishment! Nice to meet someone else who is a fan of figure skating and gymnastics too. I'm already looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics, ha ha. |

I play badminton off and on (though currently off - work is my life right now). I'm a solidly average player for the length of time I've been playing and I'm quite happy with that; I'm mostly into the social/fun aspect of it when I do play.

That's cool that you play badminton when work allows. I used to enjoy badminton in gym class and I liked it the handful of times that I played it socially at backyard barbecues and such. Perhaps I should see if there is a badminton rec league for me to play in locally. Like you, I would definitely have to play for the fun and socializing aspects because I am terrible at anything athletic being awful with anything involving bodily coordination. So exercise occurs because it is healthy for me not because I have any talent at it. |

It's a good sport to play socially because the rules are pretty simple and you can play at any level of ability and have fun.

I like horse riding because I get out of breath easily, it’s not just sitting on a horse and really easy (so many people think, that just cos it’s sitting it’s easy, but it’s really not!) But it exercises your legs and core more so it’s a lot better for me! Oddly enough, some of my friends do it too so it’s a great conversation for lunch- and for changing the conversation in an argument! 🤫🤫😄

I actually do ballet (and contemporary during the hols), not professionally of course but it’s still really fun! And I saw in the earlier posts that y’all are looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics. Have you watched the gym competitions? Anyone dances/does gym here?

That's awesome that you do ballet.
I used to do gymnastics, but I wasn't very good at it. Now that I'm older I just watch other people do it.
I was able to watch the women's gymnastics qualifications (at least for the subdivision with the US in it) on the NBC replay. I especially enjoyed watching Suni Lee and the Russian gymnasts. I also could see the team finals when it replayed on NBC though NBC coverage just showed the Russians and Americans. I would've at least liked to have seen a routine or two from the British team that won a historic bronze medal. But, alas, NBC had to make time for commercial breaks...
Looking forward to watching the women's all around final tonight. I was spoiled by the news already that Suni Lee won the all-around and I am super proud of her.
I really love her gymnastics and think she has been wonderful representation for her Hmong community!

To be honest, I did gym when I was like two and quit to transfer to ballet because apparently I hated gym (Can’t fathom why though). I had a blast watching the olympics, though I actually enjoyed watching the Croatians and Mai Murakami!! |

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
