What Paralympics sport do you see Barbara Gordon doing?

[jayden-killer]

MIGUEL O'HARA HEADCANONS.

Warning: much angst. Because I love angst. >:))

A/N: Also, apologies for disappearing like a ghost, university has kept me very busy, I even barely opened Tumblr! But I've seen all of your notifications, and I'm so glad people find my stories pleasant! This warmed my heart. ❤️

☆

▪︎ Miguel would probably replay Gabriella's favourite songs. Like this, he would feel much closer to her, even though she's not with him anymore...

▪︎He has the bad habit to overthink. Miguel has to make sure the Multiverse doesn't collapse, so he has lots of thoughts in his head, so many that they would keep him awake at night.

▪︎ Due to overthinking, he rarely gets decent nights of sleep. Probably 4 or 5 hours of sleep if he's lucky. Give him some sleep, man's tired :((

▪︎ He likes going on long walks/runs. Keep his mind occupied. Bonus if he listens to music while doing that!

▪︎He curses at loud to himself in Spanish if somethings doesn't go as he planned.

▪︎ He would think about Gabriella's quinceñera. He imagines her dress, their little father-daughter dance, the tears they would share. Tears of happiness. Instead, he has to cry tears of sadness.

▪︎ This may be canon, but I personally think Miguel has got PSTD.

▪︎ Angry issues. We've seen what he did while Miles was about to go to Earth-42.

▪︎ HE WOULD LISTEN TO DEFTONES, COME ON. Or Billy Joel.

▪︎ Or he would also listen to Manuel Bonilla.

▪︎ He sweats a lot in summer, so he has to shower many times in the day.

▪︎ His favourite film would probably be 《Barbie as Rapunzel》. Because it was Gabriella' favourite back then. Crying rn.😭

▪︎ As a teenager, he got bullied for his high intelligence. People used to be jealous of him.

▪︎He wishes he would have died instead of Gabriella. "It should have been me". He would have given his own life, if that meant to save his daughter.

▪︎ He played sports! I imagine him practising Judo, volleyball, or even swimming.

▪︎ He awalys, and I mean ALWAYS went to Gabriella's soccer plays. He would always cheer her. He even wore once a t shirt saying, "Number one Gabriella O'Hara fan!".

▪︎ THIS WAS SO SAD TO WRITE IM SORRY.😭😭😭

dc characters in olympics + the countries they represent but i'm cherry picking because not everyone can be in the olympics

dick grayson : men's gymnastics, any team except the usa, gbr. serbia, kosovo, croatia, albania, macedonia, bosnia team pref because personally i love roma dick grayson who was born somewhere in the balkans and his dad is albanian-american or arbëreshë american, like his dad's mom was arbëreshë (albanian-italian.. essentially.) and his dad's dad was plain ol 'merican

roy harper : men's archery, either usa or belgium's team (i personally love belgium-american roy who was raised on navajo land as the comics say)

talia al ghul : women's fencing, either foil or eepe. team lebanon because i enjoy lebanese talia al ghul and also her in fencing comes from the art i just saw

dinah lance : women's judo, team ukraine. im a sucker for ukrainian dinah and also i think she would do SO WELL in judo?? this one's more of a hear me out but. hear me out okay

ermm... please share ideas u all may have because it's hard to think of characters who would do it (im saying people like clark and diana and arthur wouldn't do a lot of these, like arthur and garth wouldn't be able to do swimming without feeling like they're cheating.) share ideas = theyll be put in my brain

[lolliputian]

I think you are the most qualified person to ask this question since you write the tieflings so well: what Olympic sport would the tiefs complete in?

High praise indeed, Anon! Thank you so much!

Going through the list of events, I'm going to go through the adult Tieflings we see in the Grove. I'm also sticking to the summer events.

Zevlor is, of course, Equestrian, and more specifically eventing (which, I discovered, is basically a triathlon). Tilses would also take place in Equestrian, but she'd be focused on jumping. If the Hellriders aren't taking place in the equestrian events, it's a crime. Nuff said.

Rolan would be a swimmer. I think he'd would find swimming for exercise cathartic--the water resistance, the controlled breathing, engaging all your muscle groups to move through the water.

Lia would be a rower for a similar reason, engaging all the upper body muscles. I think she would do really well with a team, as well, and find a lot of fulfillment in it. Cal, in perhaps a surprising choice, would take part in gymnastics. His high strength score lends itself to strength based events. Imagine Cal taking on the pommel horse or the rings, holy shit.

Dammon, surprising absolutely no one, would take part in the hammer throw. But, before I remembered that existed, I also figured he would do well with shot put. Short bursts of power suit him.

Along a similar vein, Alfira would really excel at rhythm gymnastics as a form of artistic expression. Lakrissa, on the other hand, is a natural for archery, and in a modern AU would absolutely be that person doing trick shots on TikTok.

In canon, we know Bex is a great runner and that she was able to outrun the cultists. Thus, I can see her taking part in the sprinting events. Danis, meanwhile, I think would get the most enjoyment out of golf out of any of the events available. Outside of competition, I think he'd like the social aspect of it.

Komira is absolutely a Taekwondo girl--she was ready to throw down with the druids and strikes me as the type who wouldn't hesitate to fight for what she believes in. Locke's temperament, in contrast, reminds me more of a distance runner. He's much calmer than his wife.

So I debated between Asharak and Guex whom I thought would be a better fit for fencing--we see Asharak training the kids in fighting, and Guex using Main Hand Attack against Makeshift Training Dummy. Ultimately, I felt Asharak's temperament was a lot better for it and, frankly, that he would do well enough to compete on an Olympic level. Guex's event? Javelin Throw. We see him use potentially any weapon you sell Dammon against the Training Dummy if you defeat the druids (off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who uses a javelin canonically otherwise minus maybe Cal). But I also think he'd like the challenge and feeling powerful without having to get into close quarters.

If we've talked Tiefling headcanon, you'll know I carry a headcanon that Okta is/was a monk and actively adventured until her pregnancy. Thus, she's a natural fit for Judo. Ikaron, too, does a physical event that requires a lot of control and precision: Boxing. Like Rolan with swimming, I think he'd find it cathartic.

Cerys would take part in the modern pentathlon. We don't know much about her backstory from the game besides her being a scout and the third leader option if both Zevlor and Asharak are killed in Act 1. Thus, IMO, she has to be extremely impressive in her own right. The pentathlon presently includes fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, laser pistol shooting, and distance running.

Zorru and Yul are other canonical scouts. We know Zorru was able to make it Baldur's Gate presumably by himself, which means not only is he a good runner, but he has to be skilled at dodging obstacles, too. He's a natural choice for hurdles. Yul, we don't know enough about, but for the endurance required for scouting, let's slot him into cycling.

Kaldani and Rikka get to be our beach volleyball pair! I really wanted a duo that's seen a lot together in game, and they seem to get along well. I can see them working amazingly well at a team and being unafraid to work hard to win.

Damays and Nymessa were a little hard for me--I very much wanted Nymessa to be in breakdancing just to make Damays's head explode (at least the way I characterize them). But, in the end, I thought pole vault would be a good fit for her. Damays seems a fit for discus throwing.

Kanon strikes me as someone who would be really good at diving. We know he was a tailor in Elturel, and I think he'd appreciate the precision and artistry. Arka and Memnos? They get to be our tennis duos team. I think they'd balance each other well in the sport.

Pandirna absolutely has to be in weightlifting, all things considered. Let's hope she doesn't get in trouble for doping with Ethel's potions... Toron I think would be wrestling because wrestling cattle or something. Nadira would be sport climbing, because that seems to fit in well with her sneaking around devils and the like. (I can't remember at the moment how much of that is canon and how much of it was headcanon we came up with on the camp server.)

Eramis and Elegis I slotted into long jump and high jump respectively. At the time of writing this, this is based off vibes from each of them rather than anything in game that lent itself to this. Finally, Xeph, Rechel, and Amek get to be our synchronized swimmers, because we gotta have synchronized swimmers, and also I don't know where else to put them.

Hope you enjoyed the post!

[leennaan]

I'm the anon that ask would you write for guilia I have an idea for her maybe the reader plays a different sport you choose and reader guilia are both each other number one fans

I loved the request. I hope you like it too. Biathlon was and will always be my first and favorite sport. I have many happy memories with it so I hope I could incorporate it a bit in this Fic😊😄

Giulia Gwinn/ When two sports collide

Being a professional athlete was always your dream. When you were younger you did all sorts of sports, Judo, swimming, football, cross country skiing, you did everything. And you were good at almost everything.

But two sport remained in your heart, football and skiing. When you got older you changed from cross country to Biathlon and as soon as the riffle was added into the mix you knew that Biathlon was you sport.

Being one of the best from early helped a lot. So in your first season as a Biathlet, you had just turned 14, you won the German youth championship.

Football would always remain a big part of your life and you still played with your old teammates now and then but Biathlon became your life.

Giuli and you met at a sports event and instantly hit it off.

She was the one to ask you on a date and from that day one you became almost inseparable. Still everyone around you thought that the two of you were just best friends.

And you played along, not directly hiding your relationship but also not rubbing it in. You loved the soft and subtle touches you guys shared whenever friends were around.

When Giulia ruptured her ACL for the second time you knew how hard the coming month would be for her and with your Welt cup season just around the corner you couldn’t even be by her side.

The good thing about it was, that she tried to come to all your races.

When you won the first race and so had the privilege to start in the yellow bib as the overall leading athlete for the first time in your senior career your girlfriend was standing in the crowd cheering you on.

It was a great feeling as the two of you couldn’t always be at each others completions because of conflicting schedules.

She traveled with you to Gelsenkirchen when you represented Germany at the World Team Challenge at the Schalke Arena.

When you walked into the home changing room she joked that you would be the only person to get her into another home changing room other than Bayerns.

She was the first to congratulate you after you won the race together with your teammate Benedikt Doll.

So when your season came to an end and you won the Overall Cup for the first time in your career Giulia was of course in the crowd. She pulled you into a bone cracking hug as soon as you had gotten rid of your ski’s and riffle. „I am so proud of you baby! You had such a phenomenal season and even tho I hate that I ruptured my ACL again I am so happy that I could be at so many of your races.“

She pulled back slightly to kiss you on the forehead. „I love you Giuli. Thank you that you were always by my side. I now how hard this has been for you but we’re so strong and I am so happy that you were able to be with me almost this whole season!“

So when Giuli had her first match after almost a whole year you where standing in the crowd, wearing her Trikot and shouting the loudest whenever she had the ball.

After the game, which Bayern won 3-0, you came down to the pitch. And was the first to greet you, having spent a lot of time with Giulis Teammates you became great friends with most of them.

„Hey long time no seen.“ She said before she pulled you into a quick hug.

„Hey Syd. Great game!“ „Thank you, I think the whole team was just happy to have Giuli back on the pitch.“

„She was so nervous the whole night, scared to let you all down or that she wasn’t got enough and I think also a bit scared of the possibility to rupture something again.“

But before Syd could answer you Giulia had crushed into you.

You laughed and hugged her back. „You look good in my Trikot, it suits you.“ She mumbled, not letting you go.

“You two are sickening cute, you know.” Came the voice of Klara from behind you.

You pulled back slightly to look at her.

“You are just jealous that your boyfriend isn’t here to hug you.” You couldn’t help answering. Giulia and you could almost see how Klara as well as Syd, who was still standing beside you, worked you words out.

“Wait wai wait, you guys are together!? Since when? Oh my God. I thought we were friends Giuli. Why did it you say something?”

You and your girlfriend couldn’t help but laugh about Klaras dumbfounded face.

“I mean we didn’t exactly hid it. We life together. I was at so many of her races. And my post after her World Cup win wasn’t exactly subtle, was it?”

Giulia had posted a picture with the two of you hugging, her kissing the corner of you lips. She had captioned it with the words “my golden girl”

The speculations around your relationship went up afterwards but still not one of your friends believed the rumors still believing that the two of you were only best friends.

With Sydney und Klara knowing it wasn’t long until the whole team knew. All being happy for the two of you.

That evening, when the two of you were lying in bed together relaxing, Arms around each other just socking the other in you couldn’t be happier.

Your relationship may not be the easiest with the two sports often colliding but you wouldn’t want it any other way.

You were each others biggest fans, wether you were at the race or match or you were watching it on TV, always supporting each other.

“I love you Giulia Gwinn. I am so so happy to have you by my side.”

Later that night when you waited for Giuli to finish up her nightly routine you made a Instagram post for your Girl. Happy to show your support and Love.

Y/Nbiathlon

Liked by giuliagwinn and others

I am so proud of you. For now almost a year you were fighting to get back out there. Today all the hard work payed off. To see you back out on the pitch, doing what you love was one of the best moments in my life.

Sharing these moments with you will never get old.

Together trough thick and thin. I will always be by your side.

Love you endlessly, you no. 1 Fan❤️

[fanaticsnail]

I've been thinking on it and I'm curious so I have a fun little ask game - if you were in the one piece universe, what would your dream be? As outlandish and ambitious as you like, Lord knows one piece characters have no sense of subtlety or self preservation, why should we?

For reference, I think mine would be (and I really can't think of a way to avoid the euphemisms here) to be the best rider - that is to ride every single animal as a steed, even if I had to rodeo / break in the sea beasts. (I used to help break in horses when my family used to sell them). A sub category of this dream would be to find the best steed most suited to my needs.

Suicidal, I know.

What would yours be?

What's Your Dream

(Wow, got me having a lil spiralling existential crisis over here)

Your One-Piece dream sounds spectacular!! A druidic, empathetic beast-master would be such an incredible ability to have. There are so many beautiful creatures in the OP world, what a beautiful dream to tame them all.

Mix that in with some Avatar: the last Airbender "water-bending", my goodness; what a delightful combo that would be!!

Personally, I'm a bard at heart. I have been playing music for over 20 years, and I feel like I'd have to do something with it. I'd want to serenade the on the high seas, play a single gig at Baratie, woo the warriors with my warcry, splitting bow-hairs with my violin as I do. I'd love duel Brook with The Devil Went Down to Georgia, that's for sure. Or perhaps Bach's Double Violin Concerto or Vivaldi's Winter.

But I'm more than just that. I have done so much with my life, and I'd want to use every single bit of my accumulation of knowledge and skills in some way. I've worked in so many industries: entertaining through music, horticulture (specialising in viticulture and winemaking), a teaching degree, circus skills and gymnastics, dance, judo and jujutsu, hair-dressing certificates and makeup work, disability support services, working in tourism in cellar doors - selling wine and sampling it to ensure its quality. I'm also the ever present "mum-friend," rallying the troops and fighting battles for my friends through unwavering support and omnipresent, unconditional love.

Truthfully, if given the opportunity and means: my dream would be to leave behind a legacy of joy - it wouldn't matter what I did, as long as people enjoyed the time they spent with me. Very cliché answer, I know. I am just a snail.

I absolutely know what I wouldn't want. I would not be able to survive without swimming. I love swimming. Lazy beach swimming days, snorkelling and witnessing the wonder below the waves. No devil-fruits for this snail. No way.

So, to sum up all that nonsense, I'd probably end up working for The Clown.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love: and be loved in return."

[hetalia-club]

Could you maybe say which sports you think the Itabros would be better at? I'm just curious to hear your opinions on it. Your headcanons are peak

Sure! I won't do every category of every sport more of just a broad thing. If it is a team event assume they both play and I am just saying which one is objectively better at it. Like they would both be playing Soccer just one is the better player, even if they are both good and on par with each others skill. Also I'm not saying the other sucks at these things or can't do them. I'm just saying which one I personally think is better at the sport.

Romano: most high contact sports, water events, strategic, team games and high endurance sports will be Romano's strong suit.

Italy: Most sports that require quick bursts of power/energy, gymnastics, routine based, high concentration, low contact sports would be Italy's forte.

Archery- Italy Artistic Swimming- Italy Badminton- Italy Basketball- Romano Basketball 3x3 (The dumbest sport ever so confusing to watch)- Italy Beach Volleyball- Romano Boxing- Romano Breakdancing- Italy Canoeing- Romano Cycling- Italy Diving- Romano Equestrian- Italy Fencing- Italy Field Hockey- Romano Golf- Italy Gymnastics- Italy Handball- Romano Judo- Romano Pentathlon- Italy Rhythmic Gymnastics- Italy Rowing- Romano Rugby- Romano Sailing- Romano Shooting- Italy (I think Italy said at one point he is the better shot? I think I remember that correctly, unless I made it up but it sounds right) Skateboarding- Italy Soccer- Romano Sport Climbing- Italy Surfing- Romano Swimming- Romano Table Tennis- Italy Taekwondo- Italy Tennis- Italy Trampoline: Italy Triathlon- Italy Volleyball- Romano Water Polo- Romano Weightlifting- Italy (If you have been here long enough you know I hc Italy as having secret monster strength like America & Russia he is just too much of a coward to show it often, but the signs he as it are there within cannon) Wrestling- Romano Track & Field Events: these Italy's strong suits as they are quick energy bursts. Except for long distance running's which neither of them are that great at but Italy would still be the one doing it.

Bluey Cuntiness Rating

As I have a one year old, and an Australian mother, we have been watching a great deal of Bluey. I enjoy this show very much. I have also watched enough of Bluey that I have started to rate episodes in relation to cuntiness of the cast, in honor of my Australian roots.

Episode: Magic Xylophone Cuntiness Rating: 7/10 Explanation: Bluey needs to learn to share. Bandit serves an extremely good level of cunt in response to shenanigans. But a lesson is learned and therefore it is not as cunty as it otherwise could have been.

Episode: See-Saw Cuntiness Rating: 6/10 Explanation: Strong showing of cuntiness on the part of Bandit and Bluey and co. in taking revenge for said cuntiness in the end, but the power of friendship and learning that Size Isn't Everything keeps this from a higher rating.

Episode: Swimming Lessons Cuntiness Rating: 8/10 Explanation: Karen is a silly old watermelon head.

Episode: Dance Mode Cuntiness Rating: 4/10 Explanation: Inadvertant cuntiness on the part of the family, but important lesson is learned about not steamrolling people. However, this is a very rare instance of Bingo cuntiness, and so therefore must be preserved for posterity.

Episode: Butterflies Cuntiness Rating: 8/10 Explanation: Judo, being a biblically accurate chowchow.

Episode: Bike Cuntiness Rating: 2/10 Explanation: Sweet episode, but y'all don't want to help Bentley down?

Episode: Fairytale Cuntiness Rating: 10/10 Explanation: Kid Bandit. Stripe. Rad. Gerald. Whatever your name is -- it was the 80s, man.

Episode: Mini Bluey Cuntiness Rating: 9/10 Explanation: Double Bluey means double the cunt served. Bingo technically serves a mild amount in this episode, but it's for the cause of cheering up her psychologically damaged sister, so most of this is still going to Bluey.

Episode: Library Cuntiness Rating: 10/10 Explanation: Muffin.

Episode: The Decider Cuntiness Rating: 8/10 Explanation: Australians and Rugby. It almost invalidates the rating system as this is just How You Get during rugby season.

Episode: Verandah Santa Cuntiness Rating: 9/10 Explanation: Personally, Bluey has been a bigger cunt in other episodes, but I'm rating this one high because in this episode she chose to be a cunt to a literal baby.

Episode: Ragdoll Cuntiness Rating: 8/10 Explanation: Bandit made a damn good showing of being a right cunt this episode, but he was a fool if he thought he could out cunt a magnificent chow chow like Wendy. Morning, Wendy.

Episode: Chess Cuntiness Rating: 6/10 Explanation: Chili serves a respectable amount of cunt this episode in teaching Bandit he doesn't have to rush the kids to adulthood, and we stan a Queen in this household.

Episode: Faceytalk Cuntiness Rating: 10/10 Explanation: They tried to put Muffin in Time Out.

I will update as I and my one year old continue our research in this subject.

[fourfeetteninches]

i want to give u a question in return but i'm not creative and your question was so fun so pick your faves and tell me what olympic sport they'd get gold in if they trained

hello thank u i have been PONDERING this

ok so bellatrix i think because she's good at duelling i think either shooting or fencing. I'm leaning towards fencing because she has the agility to be bouncy which i have decided is important for fencing

Pandora i think is a very graceful person. I was going to say ballet until i realised that wasnt an olympic sport. again i am torn between two artistic gymnastics and artistic swimming. she's a bit peculiar too (affectionate) so i'm leaning towards swimming (based on the one person i know who does artistic swimming being a bit odd)

rose weil would slay judo. she would start taking it as a stress relief/self defence activity and then get really into it. this is mostly vibes but i will DIE on the hill that she is a judo champion in my mind

u were so right about narcissa and ginny no notes at all.

also i think debbie ocean would be a tennis or table tennis champ. like to me they require so much multitasking and so many thoughts at the same time and i think debbie has that. however she also has the mindset to win any sport she tried. but definitely one of those two. the speed and the forward thinking of like pre planning your next move is very her

Personal: Faery Rings

We left for the lake, even though it was nearly the time we normally leave the lake and the weather's been septemberish for the local definition of pre-extreme climate change since the Big Storm. it was clear out and fine for bathing suits, but the sun was low enough it wasn't really heating the surface water. It was fine. Like, I'm used to the Atlantic off the Jersey coast, and In early July it is colder than this in the lake and I swim in that.

Still, we collectively decided went hair would not be ideal given the givens, so we went out about armpit depth. We really could have swum, but the not warm enough to make sitting around for a couple hours appealing part deterred us. We went home and they did bits of things around the house while I started spaghetti and mixed up a good sauce. Once the food was ready we settled in and watched Olympic judo, bouldering, and more Rhythmic gymnastics.

Yes, I know Olympics are over, but we didn't have time to watch much the first week, and we're kind of snail paced, as there are certain things I saved for the Millennials specifically. All the stuff I can watch solo except for some artistic gymnastics they may or may not be into (apparatus induvial events), has been watched already. The things left are the bits that we really wanted to watch together and that's only once or twice a week. I forgot to ask if they want closing ceremonies. D'oh!

While we were at the lake, we were headed for our gear to hand out a bit until a bee got way too into me. I spotted a ring of mushrooms, I'd nearly stepped into and pointed it out to the others.

Goth Millennial: Don't step in that! It could whisk you away or transform you. Me: I wasn't going to. see? I'm going around. Goth Millennial (Deadpan): My employment prospects depend on your continued untransformed existence on this plane of existence. Me (teasing back): Bwahahaha! Yes, that is the most important consideration.

I’ve been watching/reading a few sport anime/manga these past few weeks & I’ve just been so obsessed with them. So I want to ask if bleach was a sports manga what sport do you think Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Ishida, Rukia & Renji would play ? Also how do you think Ichigo & Orihime’s relationship would be like ?

I'm not much of a sports anime/manga person, because idk, I get bored, but sport AUs with my favorite characters? Oh hell yeah!

I think it would fit Chad to at least try basketball, with his height and strength, he'd be a real advantage in his team.

Uryuu could, obviously, be in the archery team, but I can see him in some chess club. It's a sport, right?

Renji would be part of a soccer team, or maybe those wall climbing activities? He is slim enough to be in either (or both)

I was thinking maybe Rukia and Orihime could be in gymnastics, because they're both gracious and strong, and that's what you need for that sport. They would both be in the artistic category, the one you would see in the Olympics for example.

And for Ichigo... He is tall and lean, with enough muscles for swimming. I think he'd be great at it, but I also really like the idea of him just doing a martial art, whether it be judo, karate, taekwondo, aikido, or some boxing.

Now as to how Ichigo and Orihime would meet... They could be in the same university, with different classes, but as athletes, they would occasionally meet to spend time together and discuss their own sports.

Of course, Ichigo and Orihime would rapidly fall for each other.

Ichigo would be the type to refuse to brag about his skills, because damn it he is the Best in his sport. He would think of her at each training, just like she does for him, and they'd meet at a cafe to discuss their day, slowly falling for each other.

Once together, every win Ichigo has, every time he is on the podium, the first person he thanks is Orihime. Every competition Orihime has, Ichigo is the loudest man ever to cheer for her.

They do test Ichigo's stamina and Orihime's agility very often hehe

There are times where they can't be together, because of class or competition, and it's difficult, but in the end, they see each other again and are the happiest little beans in the world.

[ijustkindalikebooks]

This post is just too long to put into one post, so here is Diving to Sailing. I have been enjoying it so far and trying to watch as many sports as possible. The Argentinian Volleyball team has added members of Haikyu!! to it's team, the US Women's Rugby team are my heroes and don't get me started on Adam Peaty. A Legend.

Diving - Diving is an incredible sport, seriously, that sport takes courage and mental alacrity I will never have. 'Breaking The Surface' is the autobiography of Greg Louganis, who competed as a diver twice at the Olympics winning gold - here he discusses race, sexuality and disability and how he ended up the success he is - being a diver is incredible, fighting these intersections is more so.

Horse Riding - There are so many books about this, Jilly Cooper literally made a living writing books about horse girls and their well, passions shall we say? Anyway I am going to recommend Black Beauty here by Anna Sewell, a gorgeous classic about a horse that sees the ups and downs of life and it's a beautiful story.

Fencing - Fence by C.S. Capat. It's all you need for this sport. Just read every volume. Get a trial of Scribd and read all of them you will not be disappointed for a second. Fence.

Football - I do like football, I don't like it when players maybe grab the opponent's shirt and throw them around (I'm not bitter) but I do enjoy it (go The Canaries!) Anyway, I will recommend a book here by JL Carr, 'How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won The FA Cup' which is about a small team going on to win the biggest football competition in the UK as who doesn't love an underdog?

Golf - Mark Twain once said 'Golf is a good walk, spoiled' and honestly I used to agree, but then at the last Olympics with that final and Justin Rose? I was heart in my mouth captivated, I don't understand it, I never will but I recommend Amen Corner by Rick Shefchik, a murder Mystery set at Augusta, which after reading the description made me want to read it.

Handball - if you can find me a book on this sport, that is fiction, then you are a hero and a legend, but until then read this cool article on the sport and why it deserves a book but right now seem impossible to do.

Hockey - I am just going to write 'We Ride Upon Sticks' by Quan Barry and leave.

Judo - Two books about this sport intrigued me, one was Mark Law's 'The Pyjama Game' which is about how he got into the sport and the state of it and 'Fight The Good Fight' by Catherine Fox which is a book about a vicar's wife becoming a mighty killing machine. I mean both quite interesting in my opinion, and the fights are good too.

Karate - Find me a millenial who hasn't had a karate phase. Thank you Daniel of The Karate Kid for that. Series such as The Young Samurai are great middle grade reads but I am probably going to read 'Jet Black And The Ninja Wind' by Leza Lowitz and Shogo Oketani as it sounds kinda badass.

Marathon Swimming - I mean, this sport is so tough, often in open water, these swims are arduous and incredible for the person taking part and books such as Waterlog by Roger Deakin for example come to mind but also 'Why We Swim' by Bonnie Tsui because after seeing this, you'll be asking the same question, possibly or maybe, make you want to jump right in.

Modern Pentathlon - good lord, for this you need to be good at EVERYTHING. Just read the list, and you're going to be fine, but if you want to know more about this, its maybe a kid's book, but Zoe Clarke gives a comprehensive overview of what this event is, and what an extraordinary one it is. This is the MHA of sport in my opinion.

Mountain Biking - People do bits of the Tour de France for fun and I do and will never understand you. Climbing mountains on a bike, good lord. Mountains According to G by Geraint Thomas, a winner of that race comes to mind.

Road Cycling - It is really what it is. If you're a kid, Flying Fergus books might be fun, if you're adult something like The Version Of Us by Laura Barnett might be a little more intriguing, the story beginning with a woman on a bike and the decisions they make after the events of what occured on her ride.

Rowing - Girl. Boy. Sea by Chris Vick was nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Prize and it's no surprise why. A story of a boy caught ina shipwreck and a girl's escape in a rowing boat this book sounds so touching and special.

Rugby - Does Heartstopper count? *hehe* honestly, I don't know what to say, because all the books with rugby players in on goodreads are either those *sexy romance books* or autobiographies, so many that is the best option.

Sailing - I can give you so many for this, The Voyage of the Dawntreader, Swallows and Amazons, Treasure Island, but I'd probably recommend Temeraire by Naomi Novik, set at sea, it's the first of a great fantasy series.

What would recommend for these sports? Please let me know!

You know, I think the only reason I have any muscle mass after this past year is the fact that I carry my weighted blanket around the house with me all day

I used to be absolutely ripped because I was training constantly for triathlons, did a semester or two of dance every few years or a season of basketball, rugby, biathalon, etc, did (mostly self taught from tutorial videos) mixed combat training, and just generally was a very active person. A 30s break every ten laps for 2h was a light day of swimming drills, and clocking 25 or 30km on my bike in a single day wasn't unusual. I could judo flip a person double my weight on instinct alone without breaking a sweat (and grandma made a rule specifically to avoid this after my older cousin tried to scare me and I flipped him so fast and fully that he kicked the ceiling in the kitchen) But this year I haven't had my punching bag, I haven't had regular or close contact with any of my usual sparring partners, I haven't been allowed to go to the pool at all, and I haven't even been allowed to ride my bike without a mask most of the year (and riding with a mask is out of the question because athsma and the 10km bike ride it always ends up are a sketchy combination on their own) Even the circuit training that I used to do 8-10 reps of everyday just to burn excess energy has stopped because I'm too emotionally and mentally exhausted to do more than 3 reps once every two or three weeks when I remember. I just carry a 30lbs weighted blanket with me all day everyday as I wander around the house, hoping that maybe this week restrictions will be temporarily lightened, or the weather will be nice enough to go outside, if I can just get through my mountain of schoolwork enough to have an hour of time to do something else...
