Chris Orr British, b. 1943
“The All England All Sport Final” is a festival of numerous sporting endeavours in one stadium. The way sports TV and Radio programmes are broadcast today, frequently blurs the lines between one activity and another. Jumping from cricket to athletics and back to hockey in virtually one breath, commentators presume a seamless world of sport. This print is the logical next step. My problem with sport is that I always want the other side to win - that is the side that is not winning. If of course they start to win, then I have to switch sides again. Very confusing.
