When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.
(i wouldn't include pro-wrestling in the discussion though as i think that's more theatre than sport).
I pretty much agree with what you are saying, and many sports (including women's gymnastics) have a culture of expectations that can lead to physical and psychological problems. Wrestling does present a good case in point. It is theater, but it also has a physically and technically demanding side (I'm not a fan or spectator, but many of those guys are "athletes" - basically 300lb guys doing acrobatics). There are a lot of issues around extreme body typing (and associated effects), injuries (including head injuries), drug abuse (including PEDs) and of course, lifestyle. 16% of 557 participants in a study of male pro wrestlers died before the age of 50. A pretty comprehensive study here:

for sure i agree that those guys are great athletes, but seeing as the whole thing is scripted there's no way it can be considered sport.
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

anyway, great to see we picked up another gold medal today and our women's soccer needs to pick things up against france if they want to advance.

I thought Phelps got silver?
Nevermind. Have to find a channel with better coverage.
Ledecky was amazing in the 800.

Phelps got beat by a college kid from Singapore, (appropriately named) Joseph Schooling, who won his country's first ever Olympic gold medal.
