You may think, unless you are an athlete or have kids who are athletes, that this is a glamorous life.

It’s not. There is lots of practice, lots of stress, and lots of boring travel.

What these people need is a hobby.

And what better hobby than needlework. In China, according to this article in China Daily, cross stitch has become the hobby of choice for many of the country’s female Olympians.

It’s a great article. I wish more of our athletes would take up needlework as well.
