Nope. I don't consider Figure Skating or Gymnastics real sports. I put them in the catagory along with Professional Wrestling. Hear me out. The most popular and best performing Professional Wrestlers get the title belts and all the attention. Same with Figure Skating and Gymnastics. Other sports that fall into this catagory: Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Freestyle Moto-X, Diving, etc. Some are damn good athletic activities, and some are very interesting to watch, but they're just not sports.
A strike zone is baseball is a rule. I can be very easily enforced by anyone who follows the rules. Pass interference in football is a rule, it can be easily enforced. The judging in Gymnastics is everything. It's the rule, the scoreboard, the game, the season. Everything.
Meanwhile, they will never be removed from the olympics. Unless you can find some way to bring in billions of dollars only on sports.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
