You know where you are with 100m, the person who crosses the line first wins. With things like skateboarding, it is more subjective.
That said, I know there are rules about this which make it more objective - with diving I know the amount of splash is a factor, for example.
I draw the line at rhythmic gymnastics which is basically just dancing. Yes, it's very clever and skilful, but that doesn't make it a sport.

I mean, juggling is difficult (and I'm very good at it by the way, it's what I did at university instead of making friends or talking to women), but that doesn't make it a sport.
Boxing is judged as well, unless you have a KO you can have differing views of who won after the 12 rounds
