Well, I don't care which sport is mot physically taxing. Training for any/all of them hurts.
As stated, no golf,baseball or softball. But we DO have ping pong, badminton, equestrian, and that strange 1 mph bike chase thing. BMX bike races too? Really???
OK, having said all of the above, the competition, even for those knowing they had no chance to even make it INTO your event past qualifying is inspiring. That helps get me past all of the other stuff - politics, cost, debt, etc.
So I simply enjoyed the human spirit on display at the highest levels for 2 weeks on my TV and I did it without regret. What a wonderful spectacle.
Right up to the end until they showed Rythmic FREAKING Gymnastics!!! OMG!!! What an abomination. Worse yet, imagine a visual once Mark realizes that putting on a leotard and waving a stick with a piece of ribbon on the end could earn him a trip to Rio!!!
Make the madness stop. Declare Rythmic Gymnastics a capital offense.
