What sport have you taken up since the Olympics?
Discussion
Or are you considering?
I'm toying with handball and swimming. I suppose I could do it at the same time and call it water polo. But I quite like the idea of handball seeing as I can't kick a ball accurately to save my life.
Gymnastics is another one but I've kinda already been mucking about with moves at home and there's nowhere for an old git to train.

That's great to hear (no sarcasm). How big was your club before and how many members does it have now?
It's not the club that I play for as we're a premier division team but I was asked to get involved as they wanted more 'young people' to get involved in the running and organisation - recently ran a really well attended tournament which fed the beginners into another local club lower down the league which has meant there isn't enough court space at club nights anymore. More needed!Have a look here... http://www.nostringsbadminton.co.uk/

That site's quite impressive. The handball one is painful although it's improved since the Olympics. I wonder if they've missed a trick. My local club's site is a link to PDFs.Have a look here... http://www.nostringsbadminton.co.uk/

Badminton England have really gone all out and most of the no strings are franchise type deals with local coaches who run them on their behalf and in conjunction with county set ups.It's one of those sports that I think you don't really realise how fun it is until you play it.

I used to play it (I have two rackets) but I like to try different things. I'm rubbish, really. It's one of those sports that I think you don't really realise how fun it is until you play it.
I have been cycling a lot more, although this gradually increased throughout the year, can't really say it was down to the olympics. My running has also been picking up throughout the year, olympics gave me a bit of motivation for that. I did try a bit of board diving since my gym were doing free lessons, that was the first time I'd ever dived into a pool which was something I had been meaning to do.
. After a ruinous summer for my general well being - staying in loads, eating s
te and drinkig far too much - I decided to get of my arse and get back into lifting/training.
Years back I did a beginners course for Fencing. I really enjoyed it and apparently I had a bit of an affinity for it. I'm going to see what there is here in Dubai to see if I can take it up again.
