Cross country skiing, maybe, i dont know, I can only moto for 2 laps anyways.
But swimming??????????????????
The author calling it motoR cross says it all.
Swimming? Of course f*cking swimming! If you think otherwise you just haven't been involves in competitive swimming at any stage. Just 'cos the athletes make it look easy, doesn't make it easy.
So many more sports could be on that list, cycling and boxing are just two that spring to mind.
no sport is easy at the highest level.
Any professional sport is difficult and can't be compared against each other, otherwise all of us bozos would be champs!
yes swimming sometimes goes for much longer and for most strokes you have to fully regulate your breathing and/or alter
your swim strokes, thats the hard part, you just cant breath in and out as quickly and as much as your body needs.
now i'm well represented, 2nd,3rd and 4th, (bit old to take up no 1)
skiing has always been my second sport to mx
even though i started skiing much earlier at 9 (my dad was into it) and mx not till 15,
was pretty good there for awhile
i grew up with a father who was a national swimming champ, and worked as a coach and swim school owner for most of his
life, so he was very determined to make me even better and i was heading that way....senior squads (16 and over)
when i was 11,problem was i hated it by 13, sooo boooring doing endless un exciting laps, brrrr
i stil shudder at that call and whislte....
"WARM UP 32 LAPS NOW!"
(i appreciated it much more now and can swim like a fish and have impeccable technique thanks dad.)
Gymnastics is insane tho. I can ride a bike around a track, but i can't summersault trough the air like those chicks do.
I can't even do this shit for 2 seconds
Pit Row
Not one of those sports requires an ambulance to be on site before a competition starts
Anybody can train a month or so and swim....I'd like to see those old ladies get on a SX track for a month....
I would put bull riding right behind moto. Even though it's only 8 seconds, I would never get on top of one of those gigantic bulls to try and ride them. Not taking anything away from the top ice skaters (ice f'n hurts when you fall, let alone trying to throw someone in the air), but the variability of riding a huge creature with a mind of its own seems harder in my book.
Horse back riding made it......and Rugby didn't?
I don't agree with some of the sports on there.
