I think golf and table tennis are both sports though.

sport is something done for fun also is it not?


childbirth is not fun

Now a hobby could be classified as a sport under the term of ____ competition. Skateboarding is not a sport however skateboarding competitions are. Eating a lot of food isn't a sport how ever doing it for time or amount in "competitions" (not matter how biased i am in thinking this is an absolute joke) i suppose does qualify as a sport.
so u could say running is not a sports event yet running in a comp is#
u cud use this clarification wit everything................................
martial arts is a skill u learn yet it's not a sport unless u compete
