Sport lies at the heart of what it means to be Australian. As we head towards the Rio Olympics and indulge in our own popular sporting competitions, Our Sporting Life endeavours to unpack Australia's ongoing and enduring love affair with sports of all kinds and attempts to unravel why these remain so important to us as a nation. Going far beyond the thrill of the competition and the desire to win, Our Sporting Life investigates the life of the athlete, the passion of the spectator and the intersection of these two parties within our culture. Written by outstanding sports writers and industry insiders, these essays explore issues of disability and inclusion, race, gender and violence alongside personal stories and lived accounts from the track and field. Griffith Review 53: Our Sporting Life enriches the sporting experience, leaving something to think about once the final siren has sounded. Contributors include William McInnes, Alicia Sometimes, Alex McClintock, Annie Zaidi and manymore.
