I am wondering how figure skating or ice dancing or gymnastics are considered sports in the Olympics? These are performances, not sporting events. The performers must be very talented and skillful but I can't understand why it is called a sport?
If these are sports, then singing, dancing, juggling, and opera should be sports too.
Isn't a sport defined as a game or race or other athletic competition?|||Sport (noun)-an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature
It's an athletic activity. It requires skill and physical prowess. It's of a competitive nature.
I'd say it's a sport....|||Without defining what is sport and what isn't is irrelevant. It's called the "Olympic Games", not the "Olympic Sports".
Hell, curling is in there, and that's a notch above shuffle board.|||there not sports they just wanted to give the women something to do so they didn't feel left out.
