Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2493674, member: 874"] Is chess a sport? It's people competing against each other. How about video games? It's competition requiring hand eye coordination. My definition of athletics involves a person using their body to move, including running, jumping, and lateral movement in competition. So, riding on top of an animal while it races another animal, regardless of skill or body weight, does not constitute athletics to me, at least not for the person. If the jockeys want to run a relay where they have to cover a given distance while being timed before they mount the horse, I'll change my mind. [/QUOTE]
