Gymnastics while both entertaining and athletic is not a true sport in that sense. In fact there are an insane amount of ways to be penilized for errors in those events.<br /><br />I would also think that a defining point of a sport would be if it is athletic as well. This would exclude things like shooting and golf from the summer Olympics. While both take a huge amount of skill to be a professional at it, neither require someone to be athletic.<br /><br />This could also be said for Nascar. While you do need to be small enough to be able to fit in the car you do not have to be athletic. You do have to be very skillful at driving to be a Nascar (or any other racing) driver with quick reflexes and great hand/eye cooridination. But this still does not mean atheletic.<br /><br />I'll be thinking about the events differently from now on.Igotnothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374432873287181839noreply@blogger.com
