You would have to say that if Archery was a sport then how the hell could darts ever be considered not to be a sport given they are both target based sports played against one or more opponents.KingBinglin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 9:36 pmDunno. wrestling falls in an odd space. Yes, it's scripted and the outcome is pre-determined but you have to bloody fit to do it. Haystacks and Big Daddy are probably not the best examples but at least from the American perspective cardio is just as, if not more then important than 'body builder' muscles. Modern day wrestling, even more so.
A better argument would be, is archery a sport?
Is darts a sport?

The IOC would declare bridge a sport and put it in the olympics with the right bribes.tungsten tossers wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2023 7:55 amWiki lists Archery as a sport....
Whilst I agree it is not, (IMO) the Olympic commitee say otherwise

The IOC also think fannying about with a ribbon on a stick or a hula hoop is a sport.

Chess boxing would be a good addition to the olympics. Nice range of skills required.

I doubt you could put an arrow in a bow and hit a target 90 meters away pissed out of your mind
