Let me add my congratulations to Emma Raducana, brilliant!
Sport can lift the spirit and leave you breathless with admiration. whatever you think of football and the Premier league, watching Manchester United fans welcome Ronaldo back to Old Trafford certainly gave them joy!
I have never been a particularly good at any sport, I have taken part in quite a few and decidedly average at all of them, capable but thats about it. The level that professional sportspeople play at is quite astonishing to the average person. We don’t see all the training and hard work and practice that makes them as good as they are. Then there are those who rise to another level and become champions blessed with either natural talent and/or a fierce determination to make the most of their skill. We know the riches that can be earned and the fame that comes with it. If you like sport and I do, then you have to admire their skill.
I am no fanatical sports fan, indeed as I have got older my interest has lessoned. I still watch but have not got the patience, for instance to watch a whole game of football. I even wind through Match of the Day and just see the goals. Sport may not be everyone’s thing and thats fine but we cannot deny the breath of human achievement and the emotion and joy, it can often put us through!
Stay well
