Aesthetics in Sports (Online)

Are sports just about winning or is there something more to famous moments that stick in our minds? This week, we’ll read and discuss an article by Emily Ryall. Ryall argues that beauty is what makes a goal, a routine, or a dive not just impressive, but unforgettable. She also discusses the difference between sports judged by scores and those judged by style, and why things like creativity, originality, and skill make certain athletes stand out. Join us for a thoughtful discussion about beauty in sports. Access to the article and meeting are available via the Discord link:
