I already mentioned something about it on my introduction, but I also enjoy
MotoGP (Valentino Rossi is totally my fave)
Formula One (Sebastian Vettel!! + historically, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen, Nigel Mansell)
Ski Jumping (faves - Adam Malysz, Janne Ahonen + historically Toni Nieminen, Sven Hannawald)
Alpine Skiing (faves - Carlo Janka, Giuliano Razzoli, + historically Kjetil Andre Aamodt, Lasse Kjus)
The sports I used to enjoy
Artistic gymnastics: I loved Lilia Podkopayeva, Svetlana Khorkina and Alexei Nemov (hey, another Alexei!). But in the recent years I haven't seen anyone who particularly inspire me, thus my interest dwindled.
Football: I used to be a Liverpool supporter, mainly because of Michael Owen. But he has moved on to other teams, he started to play for Real Madrid where he played alongside my detested David Beckham. What the hell was I supposed to do??? Things like this are bound to happen when you are following an individual player instead of a "team". And I would be looked on like some sort of traitor if I change my allegiance to some other team for such reasons, it became too complicated I totally give up on following team sports. I still support the Team Italy on World Cup (what a bitter disappointment last year
)
Basketball (NBA): pretty much the same story with football... though Michael Jordan still remains a legend in my mind, when I see his old video that still send tingling down my spine!
