Possible the correct terminology would be 'my favourite', thereby indicating a possession of the adjective and not the noun, or possibly 'my sport I love', indicating a possession of the verb

Unless the phrase 'my sport' was being used to indicate a participation?

I think you are being a tad disingenuous. You know perfectly well what I meant , and you should also know that such usage is widespread and acceptable. My other sport is fly fishing by the way , although , as in the case of motor sport , I don't claim exclusive rights. Nor do I in the case of my music ...


Anyway , it's 6am and time for me to set off to watch some speed hillclimbing, another of my sports. Enjoy your day
