Amber Lilley asks (The West 1st Aug), When is an activity (an Olympic) sport?
She cites break dancing. Then, why not competitive Pilates?

Happiness is wanting what you already have
Similarly, When is a pastime a competition?
For both, the divide is based on purpose.
If your pirpose is to enjoy yourself then it is an activity.
If you want to do it better -- it is a pastime.
When you want to do it better than someone else, it becomes a competition.
When your purpose is to show other people that you can do it better than they can... then it has become a sport.
When your entire country wants the reflected glory of your ability... then your country wants your activity to become an Olympic sport.
