It actually is an olympic sport.\nIt's just under a different multi-sport event called the \n                 World Games\nfor more info:\nhttp://www.worldgames-iwga.org/\n                      or\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Games

I consider it a sport because it is physical and requires some amount of skill.\n\nPETA typically over-exaggerates everything.  For instance, throwing maggots on people who buy fur coats and accusing anyone who sells meat of murder.

I think it's a sport.  Here's my watered down way of looking at it.  \n\nIf it makes you sweat (burn calories) and it can be competitive, it's a sport.\n\nIf it doesn't make you sweat, but it's still competitive, then it's a competition or a game.

Yep good answers.  I also jumped rope to increase my vertical when I trained for the high jump.  Worked really well.

competitive dancing is definitely a sport. it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of sacrifices. if not competitive dancing it is an art.

It's definitely a sport.  They have the America's Cup, which is like the Super Bowl of football.  You race other competative sailors & work hard at it.  \n\nIf you're just doing it for the fun of it, then it's an activity.  But if you are really into it, like you seem, then it's definetly a sport.

I use to be a cheerleader and it can be very physical, so i believe it's a sport.

Jump rope.  That really helped my vertical jump when I did track N field.  I jumped rope every day.  Watch Nate Robinson in the NBA dunk contest.  he's your height.

Generally speaking, no. Wrestling is a secondary sport in terms of media coverage and school support in most places, with basketball getting the lion's share of coverage and support. Still, there are exceptions in locales where there is a perennial state or national power in the sport.

Yes, jumping rope is good exercise for burning calories and it also has a positive impact on coordination.\n\nAt 85 pounds, in 15 minutes will burn 70 calories.\n\nWear good shoes, though, to avoid foot problems due to the higher impact of this exercise.

Good Question\nThe answer would be- Yes & No\nIt involves physical skill , so it qualifies as a sport & it has predictable & pre planned results , hence its not.

Wikipedia sort of answers this question on the subcategory semi quoted below.  Further when one looks at the list of sports "Professional Wrestling" is list as entertainment sport.  I personally would prefer a separate category having it listed as Pro-Wrestling and one for Wrestling but guess we can't have everything.\n\nArt of sport: \n\nSimilarly, there are other activities that have elements of sport and art in their execution, such as performance art, artistic gymnastics, Bodybuilding, Parkour, Yoga, Bossaball, dressage, etc. Perhaps the best example is Bull-fighting, which in Spain is reported in the arts pages of newspapers.
