After all, the medium of film has been used for many things besides art cinema: comedies, westerns, instruction films etc
What?
Comedy isn't art now?
-
in such a case I'd say the art arises from the person doing the framing rather than the original thing.
Totally, like Paul said about trees (above). A pretty photo of sport doesn't make the sport into art, just the picture.
So if it is intention, does that mean the people who play for fun or the entertainment of the crowd (see Chad Johnson above) or even just to increase their fanbase, are artists?

Wouldn't you say that sport fits quite nicely under:
something that is designed or created to be exhibited for the viewing pleasure of others
Also when I watch sport I marvel at the physical ability of the athlete. Their ability to control their body and/or apparatus with precision. I'm doing the same thing when I look at a painting or reading a book, marveling at the skill with which the artist is controlling their brain and their apparatus.
Perhaps it is all art and we're just debating the medium?

What sort of pansy-arsed 'sport/art' sports blog is this anyway? Man...
Cut me some slack dude, I had a flu :)

Depends on whether Art is solely in the eye of the beholder, or the intent of the performer counts for something.
I quite agree. Though I think the Usain Bolt is a good example of athlete as artist.
World records and medals seemed to be second to him enjoying running fast and showing off how fast he could run (at least if his press conferences could be believed). His intent it seemed was just to show people how fast he (and human beings) could run.
Ronaldinho is another who, I think, fits that mold. He grins the whole time as he plays with the ball and shows off the amazing things he does.
And while he may not be an "artist" Chad Johnson is definitely an entertainer.
What happens after the Touchdown? Art. -
To me, sports/games cannot be art because they involve direct competition.
Kapa haka competitions? Dance offs? People competing to be more artistic than each other, while retaining technical skill.
*eyes dart around the room*
thinks......am I in the wrong place
*takes a long pull on a tumbler of vodka martini*No, not the wrong place at all. I would hope that someone would come along and say "no, fuck off, sport is not art". Although why are you drinking martinis from a tumbler?
But, how about, if you want sportists to now be considered artists, they apply for arts grants and hand any money they get from, ya know those sponsor types, I think they are human? (not sure tho') to those formerly known as artists. And the former artists get all the broadcasting time formerly dedicated to now sportists/artists.
I wasn't claiming that sport was art. And I definitely don't want sports to take arts money, nor vice-versa. Funny though that you don't seem to consider musicians to be artists because I would argue that they get as much broadcast time as sports.
I think I was trying to bring the two areas closer together and take a look at that weird part of the Venn diagram where sport and art overlap.

What if he runs in an art gallery?
Thanks Ren, I wanted to find a link for that

Sorry for the cross post but...

I'm glad you mentioned Mitcham.
I really liked Mitcham. He was exuberant and clearly ecstatic to win, unlike some of the other competitors .

Beach Vollyball does need to allow variation to their uniform as any other field sport does
They are allowed to wear a one piece but most athletes stick with the bikini. But why they aren't allowed to wear shorts is beyond me.
During a discussion on the weekend it was decided that the men probably wear singlets so that there is a place to put their name and number.
