In honor of watching the Olympics 24/7, what’s your favorite sport that we don’t usually get to see televised?
I love watching fencing. I took a 1 credit PE class in undergrad and it was so much fun. If there was a better club in my area I’d join ASAP, especially since it’s a good swap season wise with golf. The olympians are so fast it’s incredible.
Curling. The sport I think I’d be good at despite having never done it and know I’d actually be mediocre at it.
In most sports, participants bring Gatorade and Coke Zero. In curling, the participants bring Jägermeister.
I fenced for many years so enjoying watching it but it isn’t a great spectator sport tbf. I reached a high standard at Karate prior to Fencing so excited to see that this year, all be it as a guest event.
Golf!
(someone had to say it)
It’s easier than you might think to pick up but, as with so many activities, proficiency is tough to achieve.
My wife and I tried it several years ago; unfortunately, she couldn’t overcome her fear of falling on the ice so we abandoned it.
Our local club definitely emphasized the social aspects of the sport - another reason I was bummed it didn’t work for us.
