Can crossword puzzles be a sport?

This is absolutely amazing to me and I would give this as evidence that competitive crossword puzzles effectively combine strategy, intelligence and hand-eye coordination to the point that maybe crossword puzzles aren't a sport-sport, but definitely right in there with darts, pool and pinball.

My hand cramps just thinking about it

I can confidently say that if the clues were actually just the answers to the puzzle, I would not be able to copy and write them down as fast as the guy in the video... Much less 45 seconds.
