What Olympic Sport Are You?

Here’s a little quiz that fits perfectly with all the Olympic buzz that’s going around the world at the moment; What Olympic Sport Are You?

I am not surprised to see the result of the quiz. I am competitive, I like one-on-one sports, I don’t mind a good fight and I don’t give up easily.  However, if I could choose my favorite sport I would actually choose to swim because I am a real water rat, but boxing would be high up on my list as well. So the results of my quiz are:

You Are Boxing

You are assertive, strong, and downright aggressive.
You have the power to demolish your opponent…
And you have the endurance to make sure the job is finished.

Give me some skin

Speedo bodysuitIt is not a secret that I love swimming. In fact I have competed in my younger days. In the good old times when I thought I was invincible and never had to stop because of an injury.

I love swimming because of how the water feels on skin, I love it because swimming up and down a swimming pool calms me down when I am pissed off, simply put I love it because swimming is in my blood. Or at least that’s how it feels. Swimming has always been my life. Every boyfriend that dared to say that I spend too much time in the pool got dumped without a second thought.

One of the perks of swimming is that you get to see guys in speedo’s. We all know that male swimmers have the best bodies… Period! Don’t give me that BS that body builders have better bodies cause they don’t. If you think that is the case you’ve obviously never had a good look at real swimmers. But… these days they are covering up those gorgeous bodies. I understand that it is all for a greater cause, but still…

No matter how fast a swim suit is, it almost feels like we’re going back in time. Back to the days where we all had to cover up as much of our body as possible. Instead of checking out all those beautiful muscles on the swimmers we now have to look at swimmers that are covered from their ankle to their shoulders. How boring is that? Give me some skin dudes!!!!

Wimbledon

Secretly I am a bit of a sports freak. I love playing sports and can watch sports on TV for hours. DH always says that’s one of the things he likes about me. I like to watch almost any sport - from swimming to speed skating, from darts to martial arts and so on.

One of the sport events I am always looking forward to is Wimbledon. Wimbledon is THE tennis event of the year. The tournament dates all the way back to 1877 making it the oldest major championship in tennis. Every tennis player is dreaming of putting their names down in the history books and winning this championship that is held at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

I wish I could fly to England and get Wimbledon debenture tickets, but unfortunately I’ll be watching the balls fly up and down the court from my comfy couch. Not that that is a bad thing, but nothing beats seeing the real thing.  Anyway, you can expect me to be glued to the TV for about two weeks at the end of June and the beginning on July.

I don’t have any particular player I am cheering for, but I always love it when a relatively unknown player or underdog beats the odds and wins. Are you going to watch Wimbledon and if so who are you cheering for?
