Hmm ... I would say the hardest sport to get down mentally would be golf ...

The hardest sport all around would be ... Hockey or Rugby

[thyun]

golf possibly or soccer...golf isn't only about hitting the ball because conditions are always different...wind velocity, bunkers, different types of planes, etc.

soccer is just downright exhausting...

[inocupcake]

I think.. soccer or golf would be the hardest.

[projeKt_dc5]

who ever said soccer was a wimpy sport needs to turn off the computer, and just quit life. yes, soccer isnt the hardest or the toughest sport, howoever it isnt wimpy either. soccer i think is not that hard compared to other sports (if your playing at an amateur level). football is not that hard to play either. until you get to the higher levels.

rugby owns american football in the nuts.

i would say the hardest sport to play is k-1. you guys should see Ernesto Hoist's videos, he f-cks up people pretty bad.

[4tang]

hands down rugby :x

Girls waterpolo, they are CRAZY!!! They have no rules, and once they go into the water,u'll get hurt so bad.. The guys waterpolo team just tries to get the ball into the net. If you don't believe me, you have a really bad waterpolo team.

they sound vicioussssss my goodness!!

I'll have to add equestrian polo as well, considering you have to maneuver your horse and try to hit that ball from, like, 6 feet up

and sports like gymnastics and figure skating...Some may say that its not as physically brutal as football, but to compete at a wold level is crazzzzy. Its something you have to develop over years and years of experience. Also, you can't rely on physical ability alone to be the best...you have to be able to dance and be graceful, which is something not everyone can learn. Then there's the fact that you have to be aware of every single thing your body does; where you place you arms and legs, how you point your toes and fingers...and if you don't the results can be horrible. (that one chinese girl in the olympics who broke her neck after a fall on the balance beam)


thats my opinion at least.....but most guys are very ready and willing to call sports like gymnastics pansy sports

[x0ny]

Most form of motorsports.

[Orijinalx]

Formula 1 Racing!!
LOL well it does take a lot of training and not everybody can do what they do. and taking turns near 200mph isnt exactly that easy on the body

[treekore8]

The hardest sport is boxing

[BUNIT BABYDOLL]

gymnastics. i tried emulating what they did on tv during the olympics... bad idea

[qquinto]

golf

hockey comes in second. that puck looks so small and it's so easy to fall!

[vondunker]

alot . .



golf requires techniques & patience
swimming requires alot techniques and stamina
martial arts depends on your body build and ......
water polo, boxing, hockey, rugby - alot of effort as well
not forgeting field events such as high jump, triple jump etcs, its only a jump and that needs 10 years effort in olympic.



i think each sport is unique and i respect all of them.

[baboofan]

I can't say what sport is the hardest because I haven't played all the sports out there, but figure skating is definitely uber difficult. The top skaters have to jump up and spin three/four times on the air and land on one foot on a blade...on ice that's super slippery and anything can happen. While the other leg has to be extended nicely behind. Annnd you have to have good presentation while doing it and make it look easy and like you're having a good time. And match with your music, too, bwaha.

[yodisbsteve]

in terms of everything combined..i say its boxing.

it involves alot more talent, skill, and strategy than jus trying to punch the other guy. you try throwing punches an recieving punches 3minutes a round.

i think espn did an article on something like this as well maybe a year ago. they also ranked boxing as the #1 most difficult sprot

[nabnab]

Waterpolo for sure.

[Ride]

Boxing, without a doubt. Fitness, balance, co-ordination, strategy, strength and pretty much every other skill required in every other sport is pushed to its limits in boxing.

Or a hockey goaltender. Apparently Giguere (netminder for the Sharks) loses 10 pounds of bodyweight in water PER GAME in regulation. That's obviously well above average (which is about 2-5lb's per game). During overtime games in playoffs, he had IV needles taped down during his time in net, then they'd wire him up to the drip during intermissions. Hardcore. Then there's all the 100mph+ pucks flying at you (around 10 per game) and sliding around, doing splits and basically standing on your head to stop a hard piece of rubber that's less that 3" wide from getting into a net behind you. That's respect.

[Mentos]

I have to agree with waterpolo. Trying to keep your head above the water while trying to catch a ball and play soccer with your hands...

[knockblock]

Most forms of combat.

[Little Miss Snackwrap]

extreme sports =O
bmx, le parkour, that kind of stuff

[The Stone Temple Pilot]

I think Hockey's a hard sport. You must master two things, Skating on Ice and Shooting a smal rubber plate with a stick thats at an odd angle. The second most thrilling sport in the world in my opinion. ( after "wimpy" futbol. )
