Sporting spectacles – looking ahead

2024 provided plenty of sporting spectacles. We feel it was the best of the decade so far. Throwing a few Q’s your way, devoted readers. The A’s are for your ponderance.

  1. Will Sam Kerr and her partner’s baby be born happy and healthy? Will the child be a future sports star? We say highly likely to both.
  2. Should breakdancing be reintroduced to the Olympic Games? We say no. Breakdancing was a fad dance style of the early 1980s. It was never a recognised sport though it a very good way to keep fit and put some funk into your workout. We say fine to the activity, just not at Olympic level.
  3. Should the Rabbitohs return to Redfern Oval? Yes indeed. The hallowed ground at Redfern is deeply loved by supporters and locals. Training sessions, even occasional, would draw people to the park and cafe – and inspire the team too.
  4. Will the Rabbitohs be included in next year’s NRLW? We say yes. South Sydney is a foundation club. It’s a disgrace they’re not already involved.
  5. Will Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior become the best horse in the world since mighty Aussie mare Winx? We say he is getting very close.
  6. Will Paul “Fatty” Vautin get the send-off he deserves from television? We say a big yes. Paul and Peter Sterling really were the initiators of drag on the Footy Show in the 90s. Nearly as much as Benny Hill, though he was totally international. A one-off.
