I like racquetball and belonged to a racquetball club in Houston when I lived there. I only tried handball once, and it tore up my hands, even with gloves...left bruises for over a week. Never again. Also, my ex got hit you-know-where.

It's a different game in the olympics than you're familiar with.

Track and field is definitely my favorite. If I had it to do over again I would've done track instead of baseball.
