It is a physical activity played to a set of rules - that is the gist of the definition I found answering a previous question.\n\nThis means that pretty much anything from athletics to beer-chugging can be considered a sport.\n\nIf you want to get historical then it should conform to the Olympian ideas of running, throwing and fighting ... or "American football" :-)

Sure, its fun, its challenging, and there are time trials through rapids on rivers, or I suppose you could possibly race head to head as well.   The whitewater races are whats normally done though.

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.

river\n\nn : a large natural stream of water (larger than a creek); \n\nIf it didn't have water, I don't think it would be called a river.

Good answer mofu.   Local convention is the determining factor though - whoever grew up next to said watercourse will have a conventional way of talking about it, regardless of anyone's "definition".   In Scotland there are lots of rivers that the local Brazilian population regards as miniscule little streams.   In Brazil there are rivers that I would say are virtually the sea.
