I love watching most sports and have enjoyed the Winter Olympics. I wonder if I am the only one disturbed however by how important chance seems to be in many winter events. I am particularly thinking about short track skating and snowboard cross. The Olympics should be about being the best,not the luckiest.

Any event when someone wins by judges is not a sport, it is an activity.
Does that mean swimming is an activity since judging is involved throughout the entire event?
What about wrestling, that is a judged event. I wouldn't walk up to my wrestling friends and tell them they aren't participating in a sport. I might call them and tell them that and then avoid them for a few weeks thereafter.
