Too many events are based on judging. I just want events where the results are objective, who is the fastest or whatever, without dealing with “style points.”

I'm happy to see that you used the word "event" as opposed to "sport." Don't get me wrong: While figure skaters, gymnasts, divers, ski jumpers, etc., are no doubt highly skilled, world class athletes, not all athletic events are sports.

“not all athletic events are sports.”

If strength and skill were the only qualifiers to denote a sport, then where is my applause when I get my butt out of the chair, crack open a beer, and snap the cap 15 feet into the garbage can? I mean, strength and skill, right?
