anything that needs to be judged is not a sport.

Would that include the line judge in football?

Actually, I think it is a matter of terms or semantics. Are you more comfortable with the term "Athletic Competition"?

Surely the athleticism of gymnasts cannot be denied. I do understand what you mean by "judging" (Figure skating, Gymnastics, etc). But I can think of no sport that is not subjected to some form of judging or judgment calls.

I see you're point. Some judging is unavoidable. What I'm getting at is the total lack of any objective measuremetn at all.
