| Other Favorite Sport?
What is your favorite sport besides fencing, either to watch or do? Mine is baseball.
Yes this poll is idle curiosity, but hey its the water cooler 
edit: oh and for the other I should have said and I swear to say what other sport it is. I don't mean to diss the other sports but I had a 10 line limit and couldn't list all of them

| To do, I don't know. I currently do no other sports besides fencing, but I enjoyed boxing.
To watch, probably handball.

Join the rest of the world and tune in! | I am totally excited for the World Cup and am planning a party for the USA - Italy game. Unfortunatly the rest of the USA games (in the first round) are during work and they don't let us off for that here like they do in europe 
One advantage to it being in Germany as opposed to Korea I don't have to wake up at 3am for any of the games

| for official sports, i like softball. but i had to drop it too keep fencing so im very out of practice.
of course, dodgeball, kickball, home-run derby and tennis-ball-on-the-roof are also loads of fun.

If they play like they did against Portugal in '02...watch out! But they're in a Group of Death and making it to the second round will be a miracle (but miracles do happen)! | |

| Aside from Fencing:
Tennnis
Badminton
And I like gymnastic (not the rythmic stuff - that is just stupid).
I used to play a lot of table tennis as well.

| Hmmm, I used to play Football and basketball, wrestle, and run track so most of those I still find fun to watch. Otherwise I enjoy watching good football (soccer that is, mostly thanks to friends that were obsessed enough with soccer they ordered like 600 channels of cable mostly for 3 all soccer channels for the dorm rooms this year), the Olympics, and Tennis.

| Hi!
Performing: Floorball
Looking at: Just about anything that is international Championships level except golf, motor sports, and sports based on esthetic judging (diving, figure skating, gymnastics, the like).
Have a nice time!

| Well, seeing as I play semi-pro football, I guess that would have to be a close second to fencing. I also compete in track (sprints) and tennis. | |
