Olympics...sports vs events?

My husband consider Events as gymnastics and diving since it is up to a judge to award points versus a Sport which is won by the fastest time or the farthest distance or the highest weight. What do you think?

You either win or you don't on either.

Yet you must consider where the Olympics came. Rome! Even there was judges. There simply wasn't the accuracy of today.

In fact the accuracy today didn't exist even in my own lifetime back in the 1960s. It was the judge's that determined the outcome in every sport or event.

There are rules in every event or game which ever you choose. If you go out of bounds a judge must determine it. If you don't do the event correctly, again a judge must determine it

There's no difference. 🤷🏻‍♂️
