Muenkel 0 #2 December 31, 2002 I voted for Sarah Hughes only because she is from Long Island. Also, she pulled off in the Olympics what was supposed to be the impossible. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #3 December 31, 2002 I don't really recognize most of those names. A couple like Tiger Woods obviously excelled at international level, but I haven't heard of most of those athletes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #7 December 31, 2002 How does Tiger Woods qualify as an Athlete? He plays golf... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Sebazz1 2 #8 December 31, 2002 I have been told that to ride the Tour de France is one of the single most grueling kick your ass unbeliavable things that a humans can do. It has to be Lance Armstrong for taking a Eurpean dominated sport and dominating it himself for three years, overcoming cancer, and whatever else. Dude's just plain bad ass. Even if he wears spandex... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #9 December 31, 2002 QuoteHow does Tiger Woods qualify as an Athlete? He plays golf... Hey, hey, hey, golf absolutely is a sport. It takes skill and concentration. And I happen to love playing golf. Now, what I have to ask is; how does race car driving count as a sport? Can't any old weight challenged person do it? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #10 December 31, 2002 Golf is a perfectly good waste of landing / swooping area for skydivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #11 December 31, 2002 Seb, I totally agree with you about Lance Armstrong. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him after he won his first Tour de France. He is an extremely inspiring person. And you're right, that is an enormously grueling race...and the dude won it 4 years in a row!!! _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #12 December 31, 2002 Quote Hey, hey, hey, golf absolutely is a sport. It takes skill and concentration. So does Chess, but it's not a sport...it's a game like GOLF! Quote And I happen to love playing golf. Honestly, that's great. I happen not to enjoy it...c'est la vie... Quote Now, what I have to ask is; how does race car driving count as a sport? Can't any old weight challenged person do it? Racing also takes great skill, concentration, endurance and teamwork. Can anybody do it, I think it is possible for anyone to do anything they put their mind to...and that includes becoming a master at the game of golf. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

weid14 0 #15 December 31, 2002 yeah but chess is (was?) in the Olympics. of course ballroom dancing was (is?), too. so technically they would be considered a sport right? (as are a few other "sports"). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
