Now a septuagenarian, I first was transfixed by the ballet beauty of Olympic ice dancing, and transformed by the athleticism and sheer competitive teamwork of…women’s roller derby. I wasn’t allowed much tv access (grainy black & white) as a kid, nonetheless the San Francisco Bay Area Bombers became must see sports entertainment. Proudly fierce and talented athletes who gave no quarter to opponents or referees for that matter. Only baseball was higher on my list of favorite team sports. Sports are the human form in motion, motion is art, art is beauty and where beauty resides romance is a frequent visitor.
Great news about people recognizing the importance of this, and books about it proliferating into the mainstream. Thanks, Jane.
