Olympic sports versus events?

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?

Good definitions. I've always thought of events as just being the combination of what, where and when, and not uniquely related to sports. And the sport being the activity, whether judged by referees or judges, or who finishes the finish line first.
