It is about winning if you're at the olympics. If you play in your local sunday league pub team then winning is a bonus. When I play sport I always want to win.

Working for a sports governing body where winning is seen as everything -
I have to refute the opening statement.

Personally though, I'm more chilled about these things and don't feel as strongly.

Edit: I agree with Kev, I play to win but am gracious in victory or defeat.
There is such a thing as a bad winner, and I despise that trait in people.

Suffering from a small case of mood poisoning, must be something I hate.

It could be argued that sport for sports sake is not about winning but competition, including competition with yourself, is all about winning. Pretty much all forms of sport are about competition.

Or is this another thread on the topic of the Saudi woman competing in the Judo & 800m?

She's logged off now. She clearly didn't really want to discuss this.

If it's not about winning then why are all the losers, including some winners of silver and bronze, crying their eyes out? Wink

Games are all about participation, professional sport is all about winning.
