pretty cool article, has expert, as well as average joe POV. Some of these things you never even really think about, like saving a penalty kick, but the way they explain it, I doubt I could ever do it.

aaanndd... i cant do none of that

very interesting list..
pole vaulting is definitely harder than it looks.

I'm pretty sure i could do most of those. Saving a penalty shot isn't that hard but it is frustrating if they put in close to a post.

Interesting. I don't know by what measure you can compare any of those though, unless you done them all.

That's because it's the easiest and least complex of all major sports.

Most of those involve skill like hitting a baseball or a golf ball because you have only fractions of a second to react, but I think the hardest ones are the marathon or the Tour de France, honestly I could never ride my bike more than 2,500 miles in a week thats just crazy.

I dunno about the marathon. I know tons of people that can run a marathon and do so regularly. Downhill skiing would be much harder IMO.

I'm glad baseball was number 1 because I swear so many people tell me it's easy. I wish hitting a long straight tee shot was two because I can't come close. I have to stand sideways to hit it straight down the fairway.

That's some crazy golf you're playing.
