I'm enjoying the figure skating. But as pointed out by a friend, A sport is where there is a direct compition between two teams or competetors where they have to DO THE SAME THING and the one who gets more goals or points doing THE SAME THING wins. A competiton is where contestants perform and are judged based on how they looked doing it and how hard it was doing it. Like a Dog Show. Therefor Figure Skating is not a sport any more than a dog show. It is athletic and those guys are amazing but are not sportsmen but performers.
