“Sport” in Japanese is 競技 (kyōgi).

It centers on a structured activity in which people use skill under shared rules to compete for a result.

夏休みに新しい競技を始めました。natsu yasu mi ni atara shi i kyō gi o haji me ma shi ta

I started a new sport during summer vacation.

In Japanese sports coverage, 競技 (kyōgi) can label a discipline such as swimming or judo, so sport is not always the closest English translation.
