What are your parameters of "the hardest sport to play?"
And what constitutes it being a "sport?" The difference between event/sport is hard to define. Decathletes and the all around gold medal gymnast to me are the most impressive, simply because of the level of excellence they must display in a variety of events.
Are you talking about for the average person? Because I wouldn't say water polo then. It's relatively easy to play, very difficult to excel at. Do you mean play, or play well?

Don't know exactly what I mean by it.
I don't really think that you have to be the best athlete to play water polo. I think the "average person" element has to be on there. It is difficult to tread water period, let alone play a "handball" type sport at the same time.

Well, if it's the not the average person element I have to say gymnastics. Because seriously, that stuff is ridiculous. As mulli mentioned, the balance beam is insane. Flips and crap on a little beam? Yeah, no thanks. Give me treading water and playing handball any day.
So, hardest sport that basically anyone could play?

I agree with the gymnasts argument. I was in absolute awe at what the Chinese were doing on just about every event last night.
I think the rings exercises are possibly the most physically demanding of the olympics...some make it look easy, but others you can see the pain.
Water polo is good for "hardest team sport that an average joe or jane can play."
...and I don't view the rings or floor exercises or any of that as "physically demanding". I put it in the "physically impossible; they're aliens" category.

Let's say that right now you get put into a professional or Olympic level game. Which one would you suck most at?
I would say baseball. There's no way I could hit a pitcher who is good enough to play in the Olympics or in the pros. I might consider walking away with clean pants to be a success.
Also, was it just me or was there a disproportionate number of judo people (I don't know what they're actually called) carrying the flags in the parade of nations?
