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).

Wrestling does have endurance over gymnastics but it require less skills. However It is up there in my eyes but MMA would be a better to compare vs gymnastics

Flexibility/strength/power wise I agree while being different. However there is just so many skills to learn in gymnastic compared to weightlifting.

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.


MMA and Wrestling are up there too but Boxing?

True, but it has the change of environment aspect (a live opponent) which makes it so much harder.
Boxing requires an insane amount of cardio, probably more than wrestling and mma. And since matches can last up to 12 rounds that just makes it worse.

Gymnastics demands insane amount of strength and agility but I can't really say it beats martial arts.
Sports where you have an opponent (martial arts mainly) makes up for a whole new physical and mental demand.

Yeah boxe require great endurance but it's the only physical quality it has over gymnastic which need more strength/power/agility/skills imo. MMA is tiring because of ground combat and longer rounds so it beats boxing in every categories.

What makes me think gymnastic is harder is you can't start to compete at 12 and expect to be a world champion if you are good at it which is possible in mma.

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.


pfft filthy 1.8x'er manlet takin blows at the 5'ers. 6'5" or bust kiddo get dunkled on.

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.
