of course it is a sport! why do you think it's in the Olympics! I used to do gymnastic and believe me it is not easy at all i have also done basketball and volleyball but those two didn't compare up to the difficulty of gymnastics. To do gymnastic you have to be crazy strong, you have to have so much endurance to nail that back tuck and the end of your routine. People who don't think the gymnastics is a sport are probably just jealous because they could never in there life do what gymnast do. Personally I think gymnasts like Carly Patterson are awesome people to look up to because they are amazing!

yes cheerleading is a sport. especially competive cheering with stunts involved. its so funny to hear boys talk about how its not a sport, but imagine how much more funny it would be to watch them try it. it's difficult to do, it takes talent and stamena, practice and technique. Just because your not knocking anyone down to get a ball, doesnt make it any less of a sport. Its alot more then kicking and screaming, anyone that can actually do it can tell you that. You can't "play" swimming but its still a sport. Idiots.

**** ALL OF YOU WHO SAY ITS NOT A SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im not a slut and nethier are most of my teamates we bust our butts harder than most people that are in sports my age and you havent even seen how bad you can hurt yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nCompetition is DEFINATLY a sport its acctually the most deadly one and you can only do it through high school (in a gym) or college! I half agree with the first answer if u are a little football cheerleader and ur not very good than it's not really a sport but if its 4 ur school u had to be good 2 make it (unless ur team suks then its not a sport)

Meriam Webster defines sport as a function (noun); a source of diversion; RECREATION; physical activity engaged in for pleasure; and a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in...\n\nThere is such a thing as DANCE SPORT. And people have been lobbying to include ballroom dancing in the Olympics. The Winter Olympics' figure skating may also be considered a dance on ice.  So YES, dancing MAY be considered a sport.\n\nHowever, it may also be considered a PROFESSION for some - like dance instructors, coaches, dancers, entertainers.\n\nIt may also be considered a HOBBY for those who just dance because they want to, but not for sport (competition) or livelihood (career).

umm you labeled this in the wrong catagory? Cheerleading is not a sport. What are you stupid

yes its a sport\nbeen skating for far far too long, don't get up as fast i once did from falls now.  skating with people better than you is one of the best ways to get good fast, but personaly i think "kids" are jumping into some complicated tricks too quickly without getting all the basics down.  i was by far my worst critic, but probably skated for several years, everyday, before i felt i was any good at it.  i suck now i think, just don't get out enough, but people that don't skate are still impressed.  but yeah if you can find and skate with people better than you, ask for pointers, don't get "the fear" and you should be fine.

cheerleading. and yes it is a sport.

I've been a dancer all of my life and have been asked this question many times...  I don't know that I would call it a sport.  When I think of a sport I think of someone winning something.  While, yes, there are dance competitions, I think that they are worthless.\nI think that dance is something that is extremely athletic to the point that it is a sport just minus the competiveness.  If you asked anyone off the street to do a combination of dance steps, there is no way they would be able to do it.  If a basketball player was asked to do some dance steps, they'd be unable to do it.  Dancers are athletes for sure.  Whether dance is a sport or not is something different.  I guess if they can call cheerleading a sport, dance is a sport too.  You know, "Cheerleaders are dancers gone retarded!"

yes, its a sport... if your a little kid doing cheerleading with pom poms and your not doing any flips or strenious movement then no its not, but the older u get the more strenious cheerleading gets making it in fact a sport.

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.

It isn't considered a sport because unlike gymnastics and iceskating, people that dance don't compete in big competitions like the Olympics. I don't think that's fair because people get excersize from dance just like the other sports, but that's my oppinion and that's not what you asked. Anyway, that's why I think dance isn't considered a sport.

Gymnastics and I'm not just saying that since i absolutely LOVE gymnastics.Just like gymnastics, figure skating is judged by judges of that sport. First off, in figure skating you must have balance right? Well then try out the beam! Try walking across it with your eyes closed! Then try doing tricks on the beam. If you have a lot of balance you will be able to be a great skater! If you want to be able to do tricks and spins...then you must practice that during gymnastics. Plus, gymnastics is the best sport in the world. It is so fun! And....its not as hard as you think it is. Learning how to do flips and stuff during gymnastics will really help you preform tricks on the ice! Good luck! :))

yes i do think there should be a gymnastics category because there are a lot of questions about gymnastics from cheerleaders and gymnasts
