Japan have to be a little gutted in the footie finals, they've had two blatant handballs and a player blatantly pulled down when having two arms wrapped around the forward and none of them were given.
Cracking game of footie, superb shots and saves, but that ref needs to bugger off.

Anything that has wipe out crashes, that takes everyone except the leader, is a sport and a half in my opinion.

The IAAF has confirmed that the sex test row athlete Caster Semenya can compete in the 800m event after her father Fatima Whitbread confirmed that she is a girl.

Well snooker is universally played, well maybe not much in the US, but it's not like the UK have been dominating entirely in the game in recent years with players all over the world.
Darts, wouldn't have a clue, but you always see a dart board in various pubs around here, so who knows...

Evidently some Japanese chap was the 1st one to start the cheating/illegal stroke and it was back in the last or one before that Olympics.

And the fitness thing, well you don't have to be fit for a lot of the fighting events, skilled, sure, but not fit, as they're so short, but I'd still call them sports.
Archery, pistol/skeet/trap shooting though, they're definitely in the activity arena
