* sport=* is used for something different. His intention was to describe the 
  details of a technical structure, not to say what kind of sport facility it is. 
  Would you map ski-pistest with sport=*? How?
* 97 is a high percentage ski jump sites that were mapped. There is no reason 
  to compare it with unrelated sports.
* sport=* is really lacking form many purposes, which is the reason that most
  sports that can profit from detailed mapping don't use it. We don´t mark hiking 
  trails with sport=hiking, via ferrata's with sport=, waterways with sport=kayaking.
