Message: [QUOTE="fryderyk, post: 7007956, member: 416112"] After what has already been added to the Olympics, nothing will surprise me. By definition, the Olympics are a sporting competition between men and women, but we have long known that it is not so obvious, sport is not only physical but also mental fitness. To translate this into very simple language, a javelin thrower analyzes every inch during the throw to optimally use the force at his disposal and direct it in the javelin. There will always be one very big unknown here, which includes all the elements from preparation through training, the supply of an appropriate diet containing all the necessary nutrients allowing for extreme effort of the body, to the day and hour of the competition in which it must be in optimal shape. So in fact, the athlete devotes his whole life to achieve the most important goal, a gold medal. I am an ardent fan of mental competition, but the more often this question is asked, the more I am convinced of the opposite opinion, i.e. calling poker a sport, and until recently I had a different opinion. If chess joined the Olympic competition, it would be questionable to promote health and a healthy lifestyle if a young person sat down and ate a hamburger while playing, as was the case during one of the tournaments. So I am at a crossroads because as a person who likes and has practiced many sports, I do not see the connection between poker and sports competition, but I see a mental Olympics where all measurable forms of competition, from chess to poker, could exist.
