If you speak to any experienced competitive dancers, they will absolutely tell you anyone who can keep their full weight balanced, on one hand, spinning and make up a routine in their head with one minute notice of music, (rules for Olympic break dancing) definitely requires Quick mind, Physical exertion of full body strength, and Skill.
Thousands of kids dance from wee tots, to college, then professional jobs, yet never achieve break dancing ability.

Does archery and shooting required exertion and skill or just skill? Therefore are they sports?
Just enjoy the events you like and as you probably have done - ignore the ones you don't enjoy.
It's entertainment after all, it's free, these athletes are great to watch and.
Just as an aside the Philippines gold metal winner got:
$225,000 in cash
A Home and a condo
Free ramen for life
Free buffets for life from a Chinese restaurant chain.
And hold your breath....

When they open a Villages in the Philippines I'll be the first to sign up!
