...when I do it. I try, but it's pretty pathetic. On the other hand, it's a real sport when real swimmers do it. Same with ping pong. It's a game for me, a sport when played by experts.
I have the biggest problem with professional athletes in the Olympics. I know the distinction between amateur and professional in the games is blurred at best for most athletes. But for many of the professional athletes, they have plenty of opportunity to compete, some of them in an international environment (e.g., soccer, tennis). At least in the team sports, you'll see the pros competing for their home country.
