All Things Sport...

All Things Sport...

There are many threads dedicated to sharing experiences - good times and not so good - so I thought I would start a thread for those on here who love their sport. For me - and I suspect for some others - sport is a good distraction as it often blocks out the more negative emotions and helps to avoid triggers that many other things in 'life' so often seem to do.

This thread can also be a place where like-minded (and not so like-minded people @utopia @Former-Member @Zoe7 lol) can 'discuss/debate' their respective competitions in their preferred sport(s).

For those that are definitely NOT into sport @Phoenix_Rising for example - avoid this thread at all costs - whoops just tagged you in..........hahaha!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

One of the best grand final wins a few years ago from your team @Eve7 It was a great year for the underdogs 👍

Re: All Things Sport...

One of the most wonderful experiences of my life being at that game.

Oh wow @Eve7 That would have been. So thrilled for you that you were there. I think I rode every pass and every kick in that final hoping so much that Cronulla would pull it off ...it certainly was a fairytale ending to the season and so glad you could feel that elation of the win.

Re: All Things Sport...

It was just the best game ever @Zoe7 When Melbourne scores late in the second half

I was so scared and went to the ladies but just told myself “get yourself together, it’s not over yet” and the rest is history...I’d waited many years to see them win.

Re: All Things Sport...

haha I know that feeling @Eve7 In the 2000 AFL grandfinal I left the room in the last 5 minutes because it was so close and I couldn't bare to watch. I came in for the last minute to see my team win - I wasn't at the game itself of course but that win was one I had been waiting a lifetime to see so it was pretty special. My sister and I celebrated the whole night 'on the town' - didn't get home until daylight the next day lol

Re: All Things Sport...

I know the feeling @Zoe7 as we caught the train back to our parents’ home with a train load of very happy people. Then next day we went to Shark Park after being in the streets of Cronulla only a few hours earlier.

I had not been to the Olympic Stadium since 2000 when we witnessed possibly the biggest disaster at the Olympic Games so I was super scared the same thing would happen but it didn’t.

Re: All Things Sport...

What was the disaster that happened at the Olympic Games @Eve7 ?

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

The girl leading the racewalk was disqualified just as she was about to enter the stadium and win the gold medal.

I was devastated for her @Zoe7

Re: All Things Sport...

Oh I do remember that @Eve7 It was such a horrible moment for everyone - especially since she was so close to the finish.

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

But she won bronze in Athens in 2004. She was suicidal after that disqualification so it is possible to get up and get moving again.

Thank you for chatting to me tonight. I was really disheartened about so many things this weekend.

You are such a treasure and if our teams keep winning...who knows what can happen???
