Abstract
If you have to smile, it isn't a sport. That is what I am thinking about as I watch the Olympics in Salt Lake. Is skating really a sport? Is snowboarding the ``half-pipe'' really a sport? Is anything where ``judgment'' is involved really a sport? Did you watch the Norway vs. Italy biathlon or the Canada vs. Russia hockey game? These are real sports. There is great competition, heart-stopping excitement, and real action decided by skills, not judgment issues. Did the Canadian pairs really beat the Russian pairs skaters, or was this event decided by the press? I never really have liked these types of events. Gymnastics, ice skating, snowboarding, ballroom dancing are not and have never really been sports to my eye.
