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?

I think he’s half right. I can see how his definition for event works. Sport is more generalized. You can have a sporting event or a sport competition, etc. So an event in this context is a subtype of sport.
