The Australian love of sport often takes the form of a love of the history of the particular sport. We hear people described as ‘cricket tragics’ or as having ‘encyclopedic knowledge’ of the statistics of their favourite code. We celebrate their successes and, as often as not, their gallantry in defeat. In Australia to be remembered as ‘a good sport’ is a high accolade and means to accept defeat with grace and to celebrate success with dignity. You can investigate local, state-based or national sporting teams or individuals who have shown commitment, perseverance and ethical behaviour in their sporting endeavours.
