No, it's a game.

My definition of sport is an activity that requires physical prowess.

People who play darts, snooker and golf do not look like athletes. Indeed, many top ranked players look unfit and/or old. They are more about skill and precision than physical ability.

And none of these activities are in the Olympics.

Is driving a car a sport? Fat beggars drive rally cars really fast, F1 drivers have to keep the weight down and really fit as ounces cost 0.01 seconds. Your definition seems to fail in my head - where is the cut-off between rally and F1?

And is skill and precision not merit enough to consider something a sport when it's pro ranking tournaments are watched by millions on sports channels?
