I thought that you can tell everyone here, what other sports, beside ice skating, you like. For me it is horse riding, vaulting, artistics (like juggling, Rola Rola, acrobatics & more) and sword fighting (is that a sport ). And I like playing Ping Pong, but only on the computer

I did Agility for a while and with quite some success, put put that on ice for this year as I don't have time to go practice twice a week along with skating as it's finals time soon. I played soft ball for a while, and enjoyed it, but my heart was never really into it like with skating. I enjoy playing baseball though. I also watch soccer and support the soccer club of Basel, the Swiss team, the Russian team and Spartak Moscow (as my favourite player plays there). I like to play ping-pong too! We have this big old tournament table in the cellar, but we rarely set it up since it's made out of wood so when the weather isn't nice you can't use it. I also did Canin Cross (cross country) with my dog for a while and competed at the Swiss Nationals there, but then quit because my dog was to small to keep up with the big ones. I also watch gymnastics from time to time when it's on TV, and I like ballet.

Muriel, it's horse riding for me as well! Actually I just come back from a 2 hours ride*lol* It was much fun especially cause the sun was shining and our dear horses really seemed to love running today;) Do you ahve your own horse? How long do you ride already? And beside that.......I am not doing very much although I like taekwondo whenever I have time for it at Uni and swimming. And I like watching snooker*lol* I like playing billard as well just don't have time for it very often.

How long do you ride already? No I don't have a own horse, I only care for some. I startet vaulting when I was 4 and horse riding when I was nine. I'll send you a PM in German, that's a lot easier for me to explain

I love sports I like to watch speedskating, soccer, swimming occasionally uhm, cycling, tennis etc. I love to follow big events like Olys, then I am glued to the screen for 2 weeks LOL as for myself, I do gymnastics which I love to do. Even when I could hardly walk because of an injury, I still went to the hall and I told myself that I wouldn't do anything, but when I got there, after a while I was doing some stuff on bars. Just can't stop right

I like to watch most sports on TV but not rugby or football unless it's really really exciting, like England V Scotland or when there are penalties in a match. I go to the gym a lot and don't have much time to participate in so many activities now, but I do still skate most weeks. Skating has always been my passion since I was 9 or 10. Love gymnastics - managed to do a cartwheel on the beam once, (that is one scary thing to do and I have a lot of respect for gymnasts, I can tell you!) and an assisted backflip, although I could do a back walkover on my own. I wouldn't even try that now though. I used to play badminton in my high school days too, and was in a club there (to eyeball the maths teacher who ran the club - he was lovely!) I've never skiied. That is one thing that has escaped me. My other sport is spotting talent. Both the totty and talented variety.

And replicas...nooot abd at all;) I love Lord of the Rings

There is a swiss showfighting group called "Freywild" where I did a course last summer and learned it a bit, but I don't practice it often.
