  What athletic competition would not be a game if all sports are games? I mean, honestly, what is the difference you see between “sport” and “athletic competition”?

  You can extend or contract “game” as much as you want, but I can’t think of a definition of game that would encompass all sports but not all athletic competitions (if there really is a difference).

    Track and field events are not games.

    Gymnastics or any kind of event involving a choreographed routine. Diving. Really any kind of race.
