222 says taginfo. There is also a proposal from 2013
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Sports_hall

No, I would consider that bad tagging. Somebody rendering the 3D shape of a town is not interested
in the leisure tag.
Building describes the building typology, leisure the usage. So, if a church is converted for a
sports_hall, it is still building=church.
