Many of our events are linear or less. We can move around in two dimensions, but for the most part, events like running, swimming, diving, pole-vault, javelin, high-jump, equestrian, rowing, shooting, etc. do not take much advantage of spatial directions beyond forward (and sometimes up).
Other sports, like lacross, badminton, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, field hockey, etc. take advantage of a fair amount of planar area. Turning that area into realmar volume would make for lots more ground to cover unless one of the dimensions of the court were very small.
