At first I thought maybe the sport/game distinction comes in when you cross some theoretical level of competitiveness (either against yourself or others) instead of just doing it for fun. But that doesn't really work either.

I don't think you can say something is a sport or a game, any more than you can say whether someone is a terrorist or a freedom fighter. It's relative. The *exact same activity* might be considered primarily a sport, a game, a hobby, a workout, an art form or who knows what, according to which participant you ask.
