The Olympic Games don't include sports involving powered contraptions. This is true in real life and it's true in the 25th century. Some of the sports do involve mechanical things (bicycle racing, archery, the pole vault), but with the exception of the shooting sports and, I suppose, sailing, the machines are powered by the athletes, not some kind of external power source.

Basically, if it has a motor, it's not involved in an Olympic sport. You'll notice snowmobile racing isn't on the program at the Winter Games.
