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?

A sport is a competition with a set of defined rules to achieve a certain goal. An event is when people come together during a specified time to accomplish that competition. Coming together to play a sport would be creating an event.
