What is the difference between a sport and an athletic competiton?

Answer 1

Well, I personally think that a sport is with a team which you continuously practice to get better and play other teams in an organized manner, and an athletic competition is a less organized competition, maybe with out a team and a coach. For example, volleyball is a sport, and track can be considered both a sport and an possibly an athletic competition, because there doesn't always have to be a team, because generally there is 1 person starting in a lane at a time. But then that is my theory that I came up with in like 2 mins.
