Ten On Tuesday--Favorite Sports To Play/Watch

Click on the button here or in the sidebar to participate.

All of these (with the exception of #10) are sports I like to watch because I pretty much don't do sports anymore.

1. Gymnastics. This was my sport in my youth, and I still enjoy watching it the most.
2. Boxing. I probably should specify that I like to watch men's boxing, not women's. I believe some boxing matches are the closest men can get to feeling what labor is like. Anyway, that's what it reminds me of with the boxer exhausted in the corner and the coaches encouraging him.
3. Figure Skating. Lovely and graceful.
4. Diving. Ditto.
5. Ice Dancing. Ditto.
6. Synchronized Swimming. Ditto.
7. Surfing. Especially with really big waves.
8. Hockey. I'm always hoping I'll get to see a good fight.
9. Equestrian Show Jumping. I love seeing whether or not the horse will balk, and I love seeing their power when they do jump the obstacles.
10. Poker. Apparently this is considered by some to be a sport, but I'm not so sure. I tend to think sports require more movement than that. But I love watching poker, especially all my favorite players, and if I thought this was firmly in the sports category, I would put it at number 1.
