I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

The last two were very lucky. I could see the blue category but wasn't sure of the components.

I thought my first four were suspiciously obvious, but tried them anyway. I've never heard of two of the blues, and purple was rather obscure.

I call shenanigans with blue and one of the purples was very iffy.

Spoiler:

One is a winter sport in which Britain has three gold medals.

The other....

... well, I had to look it up and it will be in the Olympics for the first time in Paris and it's not really a sport at all - or if it is, so is ballroom dancing.

I don't see how they had that as the 'easier' blue section, given the obscurity of that entry.

As to its 'sportiness', I fear that battle was lost a long time ago with so many other examples.

The finale of The Great British Menu had a performance by the UK representatives in Breaking last night. Impressive but not a sport.

Presumably, it'll be one of those events that are awarded points by a panel of judges, which are a bit problematical, because if the subjectivity of it, unlike most events, where the winner is the competitor who crosses the line first, or the team that scores the most goals - objective and unarguable.

That and that there is an artistic element to it. I think judo, boxing, tae kwon do qualify as sports despite the subjective element.

Took too long to get going. And I would say that the blue in the last line fits better than one of the actual greens.

Purple and blue only managed by grouping similar words. Didn't get the connections.
