Making a segue from the Formula1 thread I revisited the old debate on what is or isn't a sport. Early thoughts include..
Cooper's Hill annual cheese rolling competition..DEFINITELY a sport,,bodies on the line,multiple concussions and fractures provides a true gladiatoral spectacle.
World Conker Championships..DEFINITELY a sport..inclusive entry criteria,high skills and sportsmanship in the true Olympian spirit.
London Marathon..NO WAY A SPORT...As far as I can tell that is just 50,000 masochists forlornly chasing 4 or 5 very rapid Kenyans through East London on a Sunday morning. |  | | |  |

The sport or not question, I always use slippers as the decider, if you can play a ‘sport’ in slippers then it ain’t a real sport.
Examples of sports that you can’t wear slippers.
Football
Rugby
Swimming
Examples of ‘sports’ you could play in slippers.
Tennis
Athletics
Darts | |

I don’t think it’s a sport unless you get out of breath or if something else (like a horse or a car) is doing most of the work. |  |
