I say! You could put Darcey Bussell in for 14 and 15 too.

I had to post quickly, as lunchtime was over at work, and I haven't had time to post a last two.

So...
14. Tamara Rojo (rather than put Darcey twice)
15. Catching a ball

Why swords?

[fechtbuch]

I like swords. I do some practising with 15th century longsword.
Also, lots of people are putting quite fluffy answers (and there's nothing wrong with that - some of mine are a bit fluffy), so I thought I'd start with something a bit different.

[whytraven]

I used to do historical reenactment and live roleplaying, so I'm quite fond of swords. I used to use either a quarter staff or a scramasax, since I wasn't muscular enough to wield a broadsword at that time. (I'm not sure I am right now, either.)

You don't need to be muscular to use a longsword, you just need to know how to use it properly! You need guy Windsor's book.

(My 15 good things list probably reads:
1. Zornhau
2. Zwerchhau
3. Krumphau...etc)
