[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Anything that is based soley on Judges shouldn't be a sport. [/b] That goes for the snow board contests that are not based on time too. Just because something requires athleticism, doesn't mean it is a sport.[/quote] I've heard this before, about diving and gymnastics, as well as snowboard and figure skating. The thing is that the scores aren't based solely on the judges. Tricks, jumps, dives, vaults, whatever are assigned a degree of difficulty. You do that trick and then the judges give a point score for how well you did it. The final score is based on the degree of difficulty AND on the judge's evaluation of how well you do it. Personally, I'd open it all up and add ballroom and other dance events to the Winter Games, along with the rest of the sports. [/quote]
