Welcome To Sports Slant (sSl)

A big shout-out to everybody! My name is Sonya Ewan and I'm a freelance sports and fitness writer and interviewer. The spirit of this site is to highlight both professional and amateur athletes in their challenges, accomplishments, victories, and oddities. I strive to explore the human experience through writing that aims to be humorous and intriguing with some wicked sensibility, speaking my mind at times with tongue firmly planted in cheek (lofty goals, i know). I hope to tease out enthusiasm for the discovery of a range of sports dynamics in full-fledged and dabbling fanatics alike, much as i was lured over a decade ago.... Along those lines, i'm always on the lookout for unique sports news and information to link.

On this site you'll find a blog, CHbLog, (okay, so it's more of a monthly column) for fans of outdoor sports - primarily cycling - with a tasty blend of other sports news mixed in. There's also an abridged portfolio of my published works. And i've included a reader Q&A for amateur athletes and wannabes (go for it!) who've asked me to delve into my knowledge as a fitness instructor and answer training-related questions. The sports photo gallery will grow in spurts, so check it out every other month or so (particularly April, June, etc.). If you ever find yourself wondering, "When is such-n-such event?" simply click on the handy Events calendar to the left. I dare you.

Otherwise rock on, stay solid, go play, have fun, Enjoy! sonya@sportsSlant.com
