More sport than synchronized swimming,

Synchronized swimming is incredibly difficult, and physically demanding, at Olympic levels. Just try propelling your self up out of the water to your waist, and hold it there. I could never do it, doubt most people could.

Rugby's a no brainer, definitely a sport. But the question remains, how/why is javelin or Biathlon more a sport than golf?

A healthy person playing golf should never have a heart rate over 60 bpm.

You obviously don't play golf, and don't realize how much energy it takes to wrap a 9 iron around a tree.
