Child almost wins balance bike race but is having too much fun to care

It’s brilliant. I’d like to think I have something in common with that kid. I’ve always had an aversion to sports that only exist in a competitive context.This pretty-much includes all ball sports. I like sport as much as the next guy, but I really like the ones that are fun and satisfying to do without having to “beat” someone else. Running, cycling, kayaking, surfing and skiing are all favourites of mine. Of course, you can compete at these sports (and that’s just fine), but you don’t have to. You can participate and enjoy these right up to a very high-end “enthusiast” (even fanatical) level without ever once pinning on a number.
