We're arguing semantics. (Which is cool.. this is The Cellar.)
I'd never say it isn't awesome, beautiful display of athleticism, or that the gymnasts aren't highly skilled, etc.
But when it comes right down to it, the "winner" is determined by the opinions of judges on who did the best job. And for me, that means it's not a competition. Which--again for me--is an important dividing line between things lie gymnastics and figure skating on the one hand, and running or basketball or, yes, bowling, on the other.
