There are a fair few sports related threads throughout the Culture section, and a few listed in the Culture Index thread too, though thought it may be worth having a general sports thread as well…

For those events (and even sports) that likely may not warrant enough interest for their own threads - whether it be news, results, humour, inspiring, weird, controversial, or sporting gestures, sport in your community, playing it, getting fit, overcoming the odds, the sublime, or just sporting stuff you like etc.
