so beautiful he did it twice. 
(I fixed it)
i hate when that happens 
Same time both posts!!!
I used to think yoyoing was a sport, but now I see it more as an art form and an amazing pass-time.
YYE said it was a sport.
Yes, I know that, but that could be partly because some people consider it a sport, some donāt. So he listed it as a sport and a hobby so as not to upset anyone.
Good Olā AndrĆ©
Is yoing a sport? Does cookie monster really enjoy cookies? Can playing the fiddle like Charlie Daniels really save your soul from the devil? the answer is obvious. All of these can be answered with a simple answer. Yes.
you have solved the worlds mystery!!! This is logic.
I think of it like skiing or snowboarding where for the majority of people itās a hobby/activity but at high levels it can be competed as a sport.
Ok so the dictionary states that a sport is classified as an activity that requires skill or physical prowess and is often has a competitive nature.
Yoyo requires skill and is often competitive thus making it a sport.
@iYoyo58: it doesnāt matter that Andre says that on his site. Heās one man with an opinion, and although itās a well-informed opinion, itās not the final say. One of the best things we can do for individual growth is acknowledge that not even experts are infallible, and that each of us has the capacity to form opinions based on our own intelligence. Thereās not a field today (science, sport, or even humanities) that can survive and grow without people questioning the status quo.
TL;DR: weāre allowed to hold different opinions from experts.
@DrAwesome: dictionaries certainly help us discover what the consensus is for definition, but again they are open to interpretation, and language is a very dynamic thing. 
@stookie: I tend to agree with most of that, which is why I hesitate to call those things sports, too. However, thereās one point I would disagree with: many people in fact DO engage in gymnastics for their own enjoyment without competing. Some of these people move into entertainment (Cirque du Soleil is full of gymnasts!) rather than competition, and some just do pure gymnastics until their bodies tell them itās time to give it up. Admittedly being bi-polar in my debating hereā¦ canāt remember my point on gymnastics anymoreā¦ so yeahā¦ it can exist without competition and yet itās still classified as a sport.
Darts, bowling, and pool, howeverā¦ not sports.
yoyoing is a skill sport, so yes, it is a sport. 
I agree with what Anthony Rojas said in the video "Toy." He said that there were four levels of yoyoing. At the first level, yoyo is a toy; at the second, a hobby; at the third level, a sport; and at the fourth and highest level, it is an art. So, yoyoing is everything. ;D
YES!!! Real talk from a real player!!!
People who donāt agree with you arenāt real players?
I agree with all of this ^
I have two friends who do gymnastics. One of which is hoping to compete in the Rio olympics (he actually got invited to watch the london olympics, but not perform)
and the other does it solely because she loves it, with no plan on ever competing.
As far as people saying itās not a sport, I donāt understand that at all. most professional gymnasts spend the bare minimum of 3 hours, 3 days a week training at the gym. Itās incredibly physically demanding, both in stamina and strength. Thereās no question whether or not something that requires that level of athleticism is a sport.
Things like bowling, darts, or billiards really arenāt. Theyāre as much sports as connect 4 or chess are.
i was aiming for āproā so in my volcalb: ārealā=āproā
I think its more of an art form like drawing, playing an instrument, dancing, etc., even though there are competitions and contests that are held for them.
I donāt consider cirque du soliel to be āgymnasticsā in the sense weāre talking when weāre deciding sports. Gymnastics, in that context, is the girls with leotards on the uneven bars. I think thatās what absolutely everyone would picture immediately.
Itās a semantic difference, though, Iāll agree. We can also use the word āgymnasticā to describe any physical prowessā¦but āgymnasticsā, for me, has become a singular thing.
Iām not sure if I agree that people really train in gymnastics without at least some intent to compete. Even if they donāt want to compete, theyāll be training in a gym that trains competition gymnasts, and using the same training regimen as those gymnasts. They would be, for all practical purpose, training for a sport that they just never actually play. And again, Iām not saying people canāt practice. What Iām saying is that when they practice a sport, they are not engaging in the sportā¦whereas when one practices an art, they are making art.
