This year saw the fourth annual Berkshire Olympics, which consists of a day of fun and frolics around a variety of sporting venues in the region. David Wolf was this year’s champion and boy didn’t he deserve it!

The most enjoyable part of the day is that I feel like I am participating in sport for sport’s sake in as much as I enjoy every moment. I get to spend time with friends, some of whom I see every day and some of whom I see only a couple of times a year. I am not getting paid thousands of pounds to do so like professional athletes, but you couldn’t offer me an amount large enough to keep me away from next year’s event- which I will win I hasten to add.

I just wonder if sometimes we forget the important things in life, throwing a ball at some skittles and high fiving my friends afterwards, surely takes my mind away from problems at work or of the soul more than anything else I can think of.

I look forward to competing in the fiftieth event.
