They are definitely athletes... it's just not a sport.


What about diving? Definitely athletes, but there are judges involved. Does that mean it's not a sport?

What about track and field? Usain Bolt - no doubt an athlete. Track has to be a sport right?

Starting to slide into a grayer area, but I'd say it's a sport since they are all running simultaneously.

I'll throw a chink in the "have to directly compete against someone to be a sport" argument. If usain bolt races tyson Gay side by side...sport. If they run separately & winner judged by time....competition?
