I tend to agree that a juggling "spot" would likely not be primarily
intended for juggling in any verifiable way, and so should not be mapped
on OSM.

But regarding your sport definition ("competition, rankings, trophies"):
there is wide tagging of non-competition sport features in OSM. Sport
values like skateboard, canoe, fishing, surfing may *occasionally* refer
to locations of competitive activity, but I'd wager the vast majority of
them are simply for leisure. Other common sport values like
scuba_diving, exercise, and yoga probably rarely if ever indicate a
competitive sport.
