I was wondering if anyone here participates in any sports at their schools. This thread is for discussing any sports that you do and some of your memories from there. It is not for starting a war on which sport is better. And as a note to Americans, remember that this is an international site so for the sake of simplicity please refer to soccer as football and football as American football.

For me I do distance running. In the fall I do cross country and in the spring I do track. In fact today I had my first track meet of the season and set 2 PR's (personal record) In the 1600 meter race (about a mile) I ran a 5:20 and in the 4x800 meter relay I ran a 2:28 for my leg of the race. In cross country our races are 3 miles (just under 5km) and are on various terrain including hills, mud, and sand. My PR for that is 18:40 which I am just about to set in the picture below. I'm hoping that next year my team wins the league championship.

List of stuff I need to do before September:

2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

i'm a swimmer/runner. I'm not in high school yet and since I just transfered to the school I'm in I can't join athletics. I hope to be able to compete with my school in high school. I used to swim competitively and i have a few good/bad memories from that.

@z80man is it a picture of you btw? Or is it just an example to show the sport?

I personally don't do sports anymore, although I do walk a whole lot when I am at work outside. Back when I went to school I liked football and hockey, although I mostly played at school since most of my friends didn't do much sport outside school.

I fence. 

I used to do cross-country and track, but quit after realizing that I was horrible at both.

Yes that is s picture of me about to finish a cross country race. After running a race you feel like you almost killed yourself. That's why I look so pale in the picture. And I probably won't do any sports outside of high school. I might compete on a college team, but you have to be really good to make those. Otherwise I will just run in various 5k's, 10k's and marathons after I graduate.

Ah ok thanks for clarifying :D. And I absolutely hated running. They made us run during 25 minutes at school and it was hectic. X.x

I've enjoyed playing various sports, but not on any school team. I always signed up for gym classes though, even if they weren't mandatory. I did basketball,football,tennis, volleyball, badminton and others. I also did weight lifting from junior high to high school every year.

As of now I jog 2.5-3 miles 5 days a week. Gotta keep fit right? I'm going join a gym soon so I can lifting weights again and go swimming (I love to swim :D) .

My brother's actually a very fast runner. His mile run time was in the low 5 min mark as well. My best that was timed was about 7:20. Not really sure what I could do today as I do longer distance, and more for the exercise than anything, but I'd wager I could do faster.

*edit* caught speeling mistakes :P

For me, I am not very active at all.

The only "sport" I participate in is bowling about every other week...

Lucky. My best mile time is about 12:18.

I don't do sports, though I used to be in a bowling league back when I lived in Germany. I attended 2 youth championships and placed 17th in one of them.

Does Starcraft count as a sport? In South Korea they play tournaments in stadiums like major sport leagues. ;D
