Lynn Swann - I loved the way he was like a ballerina playing in the NFL.
Baseball is beautiful....the supreme performing art. It combines in perfect harmony the magnificent features of ballet, drama, art, and ingenuity.
When I was young, I looked up to Andriy Shevchenko. He was so elegant, and on the pitch as well.
Christy Mathewson brought something to baseball no one else had ever given the game. He handed the game a certain touch of class, an indefinable lift in culture, brains, and personality.
Of course sportsmen and women are not only great role models, they are great fashion models too, as they are at the peak of physical perfection.
I'm not someone who can do 10 stepovers or backheels - I'm not very interested in that. I'm more fascinated by the simplicity of play because the thing that makes this sport so beautiful.
I am very obsessed with ballet now because it is a very difficult sport and a beautiful one because it is not about money. It's not like playing football or tennis - dance has no sponsors, it's just for the beauty. Maybe it is the only last pure sport.
I do think Under Armour is setting a new example for what a ballerina is, and that you can be feminine and an athlete and represent what a woman is at the same time.
In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty.
