I guess my sarcasm doesn't come through in the post. I absolutely think racing sailors are athletes. That's what I meant with
"I agree with you on the athlete part though."Follow the thread.
The difference is you have to be athletic and think to sail. I'm not a powerlifter but I don't think there's much thought to it. As far as a "sport", anything can be a sport, just watch the VS channel.Just because it's a sport you don't have to be an athlete to do it.
p.s. I try not to think about ice curling.
