Sports
commonly refer to activities wherethe physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primarydeterminer of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used toinclude activities such as mind sports (a common name for some gamesand board games with little to no element of chance) and motorsports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport iscommonly defined as an organized, competitive and skillful physicalactivity requiring commitment and fair play. Sports differfrom games based on levels of organization and profit (notalways monetary). Accurate records are kept and updated, while failuresand accomplishments are widely announced in sport news.
 
.In British English, sporting activities are commonly denoted bythe collective noun "sport". In American English, "sports" is the term usedfor more than one specific sport. For example, "football and swimming aremy favorite sports", is more natural sounding to an American than "I enjoysport".The term is sometimes extended to encompass all competitive activities inwhich offense and defense are played, regardless of the level of physicalactivity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of thecharacteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at thehighest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physicalsports. Air sports, billiards, bridge, chess, motorcycle racing, and powerboating are all recognized as sports by the International OlympicCommittee with their world governing bodies represented in theAssociation of the IOC Recognized International Sports Federations. Sportsthat are subjectively judged are distinct from other judged activities suchas beauty pageants and bodybuilding shows because an activity is beingevaluated, rather than the physical attributes of the contestant.
