i think speed skating is a hell of a lot more difficult, or at least it can be.

as a basic graph that works pretty well, but it's not really accurate when you take into consideration the neccessary skills for particular sports. like skiing might not take an incredible amount of strength or power etc. but it takes balance creativity incredible air sense etc (too be good) but yeah, boxing is fucking ill.

rowing should be much higher

endurance should be a 10, strength should be 9, flexibility should be 8...but yeah it requires zero coordination

Fishing actually takes alot of strength, especially if they are talking about big water tournament fishing. But they are probably talking about bass fishing so not as much strength is needed.

I'm surprised figure skating wasn't higher up, even though it was up there.

they seem to have left out testicle size as a category. if they added that, freestyle skiing would move up a considerable amount

Gymnastics is 8th and Alpine Skiing is 11th. Considering that freestyle is basically a mix between the two, how the fuck did we end up in 25th!?!?

Skateboarding at 37th?! Sure, maybe riding the board ranks there, but actually being good/pro? So damn hard.

Also, snowboarding isn't on the list lolz.

Vaulting should easily be top two. Actually, there is a lot that I don't agree with on that list.

I'd just like to point out that hockey, football and basketball are top 4 while baseball is 9. All the people that support baseball over any of those sports can suck a dick

Thats so biased. Just look at the "top 5 sports"; boxing, ice hockey, football, basketball, and wrestling. All of which are the main sports that ESPN covers. Coincidence?

k fishing requires analytical aptitude of 2.88 and bull riding requires 3.13? I'm no bull rider or fisherman but don't you just get on the bull and hold the fuck on? and with fishing I'm pretty sure you don't just randomly pull up to a lake and start fishing. Aren't there are times when fish feed and locations where they sit and chill that you have to go find? Either way it's comparing things that really don't need to be compared imo.

I agree completely, how does alpine skiing take more nerve. Sure your going really fucking fast over rollers but compared to going still fairly fast into those steep ass kickers going 40 feet in the air doing 3 twisting backflips.

if they would have put snowboarding on the list, the world would have exploded. we would have finally had proof!

and yeah, skateboarding is WAY WAY more difficult than almost anything on that list.

You kids are all fucking stupid. They mean freestyle as in BUMPS not FREERIDE or FREESKIING. in the Olympics, skiing bumps is called Freestyle, so nice try. sorry, that sucks, but no body really knows about this sport still.

mixing alpine with freestyle, as in being top of the game all round skier, would be even higher. I'd say top 8 or so for sure.
