Question Of The Day - Tuesday, December 19

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday

It's the last Tuesday before Christmas! Everybody panic!!

(Just kidding)




Favourite Athlete?






Christine Sinclair and David Goffin first popped into my mind for me.

I don't follow sports. But if Ian Millar counts, then it is him. Although I used to really like Danny Ainge when he was with the Suns.

 

[amysuen]

Do my kids count? I'm not a big sports fan - I recognize many of the big names but don't have a favorite.

Ashima Shiraishi, hands down.

Jasmine wishes me to point out that she's very athletic, when she's awake.

Oh! You mean a human athlete? In that case I'd have to say Terrell Davis, nicknamed TD. It was thought that he could never make it into the Football Hall of Fame because his career was cut short by debilitating migraines, but this year he was inducted. Personally, I think that the fact that he managed to accomplish as much as he did despite the migraines makes him more qualified for the Hall of Fame.

Shawn Johnson. I'm not a sports fan; but I do enjoy the gymnastics, swimming and figure skating portions of the Olympics. She was just fun to watch there and then on Dancing With the Stars afterwards. Simone Biles is probably a close second. She's just amazing to watch in tumbling especially.

 

[betsygee]

Oh, boy, I don't recognize any of those names. I don't follow any sports whatsoever.

Margret - Hah! Bob holds the world record for the 100 Calorie Dash!

This is going to sound pretty self-satisfied... but my favourite athlete is me!

Other than that I suppose my favourite is Usain Bolt (he's the only athlete I know the name of anyway)

I am not a sports fan at all. Sorry, no help here.

 

[neely]

Ernie Banks because he was my dad's favorite athlete & was nicknamed Mr. Sunshine - everyone's favorite Cubbie.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias.
Born: June 26, 1911, Port Arthur, TX
Died: September 27, 1956, Galveston, TX
Mildred Ella "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias was an American athlete who achieved a great deal of success in golf, basketball, baseball and track and field. She won two gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Summer Olympics, before turning to professional golf and winning 10 LPGA major championships.

Of all time? Bobby Orr.

 

[muffy]

Mine is Roger Maris. I had the biggest crush on him when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. He played for the New York Yankees and he beat Babe Ruth's home run record for hitting the most home runs in one year. Ruth had 60 and Roger hit 61 on October 1, 1961. I had to talk my father into taking me to the game whenever the Yankees were in town so I could see him play.

Mike He.
Not actually an athlete, he is an actor but I love to watch him play basketball.

 

[Boris Diamond]

Philip Rivers, 12 year starting quarterback for the LA Chargers and candidate for league MVP - at 36 years old! Great guy who talks trash with the best and with the cleanest trash-talking mouth ever!

 

[Winchester]

I am not a sports fan at all. Sorry, no help here.
