Dont know if it qualifies as a sport .

these are the ones I've competed in or taken otherwise seriously.

football
ice hockey
indoor bandy
rugby
pole vault
high jump
long jump
hurdles
triple jump
snowboarding
skateboarding
karate
orientation
skiing
slalom
ski jump
table tennis
speed skating
(finnish) baseball (it's sort of like baseball, but different)

I guess that's about it? I've also tried out boxing, basketball, surfing and whatnot, but never really got into them much...

Pesapalo?

Mate, that sport looks interesting and more fun than baseball, indeed.

As for the rest, go Jokerit !!! 😵

yep, finnish baseball = pesäpallo. the old national game of choice, not so much anymore though...

wiki on pesäpallo, in case someone wonders about it.

one big difference to the other baseball is that you run accross the field instead of around it. you can get hit by the ball (which is a bit heavier) pretty badly, and there have been fatalities...

Mate, I don't see heavy drinking in your list... and it's a national sport.

Bad Finn 😠

a finn listing heavy drinking as a sport is redundant. 🙂

Gah! Look up the definition of sport.

Now, is it an athletic sport? No.

Baseball and football as a kid
Raced BMX
Team Volleyball as a stoned teen
Skateboard all my life
Mt. Bike
Bowling as an adult
Pingpong
Chess for near 15 years
