Does anyone call chess a sport?  I kind figured that a sport must, at
minimum, be physical rather than mental.  And shouldn't you have to
break a sweat from something other than the possibility that you might
lose?  And shouldn't there be at least some risk of injury?  IMHO,
this rules out . . . 

Poker -- not a sport.

Bowling -- not a sport.  (Bowling was a demonstration sport in an
Olympic games, was it not?)

Shooting a gun -- not a sport, unless you must also ski or run around.

Shooting a bow and arrow -- borderline, but a sport.  Probably takes
real arm strength.  

Synchronized swimming -- boring and rather pointless, but a sport, I
guess.

Rhythm Gymnastics -- dangerously close to circus performance, but you
do have to know how to do the splits, so a sport.

Ballroom dancing -- mmmm, not a sport.  "Uniforms" are just *way* too
close to evening attire.


BTW, here's a link to the International Olympic Committee's official
website, which lists all of the Olympic sports.  I think there are
something like *400* Olympic sports.
