sailing isn't an olympic sport its a regular stupid sport like football
Yes.
Yes. Sailing could be seen as both. Yes it depends what part of sailing you do, if you take it competitively and race then it can be a sport (as it is in the olympics) or if you just cruise then it can be seen as a sport but it is more of an activity :)
Sailing
There is no specific date
At the first Olympic games.
1896 (first Olympics)
Sailing was introduced to the Olympics at the 1900 Games in Paris. It was not contested in the 1904 Games but came back in 1908 and has been at each Summer Olympics since. The United States has won the most sailing medals (57) in the Olympics and Great Britain has won the most gold medals (20).
A sport becomes an olympic sport only if the sport is played officialy on4 or more continents
They won there 13 medals in Rowing, Sailing, Athletics, Canoeing, Cycling, & Equestrian Events
I don't know what Olympics you're thinking of, but swimming is in the summer Olympics
As with any other sport, if it is competitive sailing then to beat your opponents, in pleasure sailing then to enjoy yourself
The sport of windsurfing combines both sailing and surfing.
