    I would think being an elite athlete is way beyond just a hobby.

    Running a few laps around the field every day, yes a hobby. Being faster or able to run farther than 95% of the Australian population, that’s way beyond hobby levels.

      These are activities that only exist for the sake of the participants and are not financially self-sufficient

      They may be super intense hobbies, but if they aren’t jobs or charitable services, they are still hobbies
