I have an obsession with watching sports. Whether its AFL, tennis, basketball, netball, swimming, athletics, triathlons long jump - I find the nature of it completely relaxing. Whether I'm on the edge of my seat critiquing the game or having the sport as background noise, it makes me feel content. The excitement of the crowd, the sweat of the players, the scruffs on field, the pointless arguing with the umpires its all these components that makes 'sport' sport. As you've probably gathered I am so extremely excited for the Olympics, a mere 43 days, 19 hours, 8 minutes and 55 seconds to go. I think my obsession began when I realised I was not going to become a professional athlete. My mum placed me in the wrong sport from a young age (which I love and continue to love) basketball. I'm 167 cm tall, this is not the definition for a professional basketball player. Why she did not choose gymnastics or even table tennis I do not know, you could have seen me in London winning gold but alas I'm going to be sitting on my couch glued to every move of the athletes.
