Are video games worthy of being called sports? The answer to this question depends on the age of the person being asked. For young people, sports are the same as sports with many well-known athletes. Last week Fortnite was officially included as a game in the Olympic Esports Finals 2023 event that will take place in Singapore next July.
It is listed under the Shooting Sports category. In the future Sports Olympics, 10 events will be contested with Fortnite participating along with Tic Tac Bow, WBSC eBaseball : Power Pros, Chess.com, Zwift, Just Dance, Gran Turismo 7, Virtual Regatta, Virtual Taekwondo, and Tennis Clash.
The sports landscape has changed rapidly over the past two decades. Once upon a time it was considered a joke with the event being done on a small scale. If you were told there would be an Olympic Games in 2000 you must have thought it was a joke but now it is considered one of the world's most recognized sports.
