We are talking about sports and athletes.
Yay!
Rory knows a lot about sports because Rory is a yoga trainer.
Not yet, but I hope come March 2026 I will be.
Is yoga a sport?
Is it?
Yeah, I was about to ask you that.
Is yoga a sport?
Because sports is like something that you compete in,
whereas I don't really think that yoga is inherently competitive.
You don't have any yoga competitions?
There are yoga competitions, but I don't think that's true to the spirit of what yoga actually is.
Why are there so few top athletes?
I mean, it's a hierarchy, so naturally there will be fewer people at the top.
That's just simple distribution.
If everybody were competing at an elite level, then there wouldn't be any top athletes.
What's the most popular sport in your country?
I think it's football,
just based on the sheer volume of clubs that we have and the volume of news that we hear about it.
