Most difficult sport is opinionated and you're obviously very biased on that so I won't even touch that. As for the 5' 4" or a loser, just cuz you're 6' 2" doesn't mean you have to be a bum. I'd rather take the 6' 2" with average genetics over being a 5' 4" Olympian but maybe that's just me. I wouldn't trade nearly a foot of my height for an Olympic medal and I think anybody who would has some issues.

On a positive note Olympic gymnasts are in incredible shape and most have aesthetic physiques.


ye but the point is youre already 6'2

the guy whos 5'4 stays 5'4, so its not a comparison between you and him, its more like a 5'4 athlete vs a 5'4 bum

It might be opinionated but it pretty much as close to reality as it gets. I'd rather be 5'4 and Olympian than 6'2'' and be average.

But if you were 5'4'' wouldn't you try to be good at something? Are you trying right now?

What ? I'm not saying short people shouldn't try to be good at something. From my viewpoint, I'm 6' 1" and no I wouldn't go to being 5' 4" just for an Olympic medal. Respect the gymnast but calling it the most difficult sport in the world is opinionated. Some people find some sports more difficult than others.

I know it is based on my opinion but if you had to look at factst name a sport that use as much Strength/power/flexibility/agility/skills. I have MMA in mind which to me is close but I can't think of an other sport who needs as much skills especially considering the time these athletes have to train to reach that level.

Wrestling and decathlon (if we count the olympics) are probably above gymnastics, requires all those and a lot of endurance.
Weightlifting aswell if we take the ''middleweight classes'' (69-94).

It is probably one of the most physically demanding sports in existence

Here are a few other sports that in my opinion are tougher, not to take anything away from gymnastics though as it's obviously tough as hell and requires insane agility and pound for pound gorilla strength:

Rugby, MMA, boxing, wrestling, ultra marathon running, (bull fighting I suppose since death is just one fuck-up away), thai kickboxing (real matches only end in a knockout from my understanding).

I never said it wasn't but imo other sports like MMA , boxing, wrestling, etc etc are just as physically demanding and much more mentally demanding.
