i did gymnastics for 6 years its extremely physically demanding but its not a sport lmfao
IDK, if bowling is a sport then I feel like it’s pretty much a free for all on that category at this point
in bowling you are competing in a particular physical activity on a specific criteria with a goal to be achieved - knock down pins with ball, score points. anybody who trained could become a good bowler. gymnastics requires that you not only have a certain body type but that you start young enough that your body actually ceases to develop at a certain point. judges score based on a system of mostly arbitrary standards and ~artistry and any points you do or do not get is completely at the whim of the judges and they can and do knock off points on massively difficult maneuvers for inconsequential reasons, sometimes costing gymnasts podium positions.
gymnastics is not a sport lol
