We moved from quadruped to biped to shape up for the mother of all sports. Chasing food, running behind our prey, channelling our primal urges. Now, instead of shooting the animal, we shoot into the air to start off in a blind hunt for gold. All senses are on edge, ready to fire off the body in a subtle race between the lines. Who are we? The Wild or the Tamed? A domesticated  species, a well-bred population. And meanwhile, the spectators are dressing up. Both in the arena and the stands. Let the games begin!
