I am not particularly interested in competitive sports because it's not an area where I have a competitive advantage :-)
I think there's a lot of difference between "solo performance" kind of sports (e.g. running) and "interactive" kind of sports (from fencing to soccer). The "interactive" sports are anything but simple and dull.
I've found solo performance sports to be interesting as well. It's fascinating to me to "train smart" and try and push the body and mind to it's limits. I've done some QS projects involving weight lifting and running goals that were cool.
I'm probably duller than the average LWer, though. Ha.
It's kinda an "everything is interesting if you're interested in it" thing :-) But for a lot of people solo sports means pedaling on a stationary bike while watching TV...
