I’d rather watch 48 types of sliding than three types of jumping and twenty types of running.

And the dozens of ball sports.

[–] alcibiades@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

and aquatic sports, various forms of dance, various ball sports, various boat based sports, ball sports, horse sports, weapon sports, cycling, etc

winter got like 48 types of sledding, 5ish types of ice skating, and maybe 2 cardio based endurance sports. significantly less to see and extremely lacking in accessibility

You forgot 18 kinds of swimming

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 21 hours ago

Isn't swimming just... you know, a kind of running ?

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago

It's just running and swimming with every distance between 100m and 1 lap around the Earth

Youre totally missing out on the fancy horse dancing

Actually id rather see that on ice also

I actually prefer the winter ones too, they are more fun.

Don't forget a dozen types of throwing!

And maybe a couple types of lifting?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

think I would classify all kinds of throwing under lifting

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What is lifting if not making things run?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Damn. Is everything some kind of running ?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Chess is not running.
