the basic definition of a sport - "a physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively" would include all of those plus such things as bowling, billards, horseshoes and other great drinking games.

A lot of Olympic Events are not based on what the olympics was originally about. I say get rid of all sports that are not what the olympics were originally about.

yeah, that is along the lines of what I was thinking too. It has been packed full of bullshit events to extend the amount of time the games go on, most likely to allow for more TV coverage hence more $$$. Time to trim the fat and get rid of the bullshit. Can you see the ancient greeks playing table tennis or badmitton?

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Even then, the main problem is there's no surprise. It's not a competition. It's an exhibition. Short of a fluke, the results are determined before the day begins.

how is that any different from sprinting or anything that's a race? these guys have raced each other before plenty of times and know who's the fastest. swimming too, everyone already knew phelps was going to win. if someone trains their whole life to do an event, it better NOT be based on luck.

because in those, there is no limit to what they can or can't do. It's not like you choose to try for a sub-10-second 100m, and whoever succeeds ties for gold. There's no limit, so when one person pulls ahead, everyone else has to catch up, without knowing what time they'll record. The closest is something like pole-vaulting, but at least they're required to run.
