Steeplechase seems pretty demanding.

I tend to lean toward events that require being exceptional at a multitude of disciplines like the decathalon and gymnastics.

If you think about it, every sport in the Olympics is equally hard because the competitors are taking their respective sports to the furthest extreme.

Ok, I thought about it, and while the part about taking their sport to a different level is true, I just can't put curling on the same level as the decathalon.

I love curling... every time it is on, I sit there mesmerized by it. That was not sarcasm either.

I agree, some sports may look more physically demanding and thus, harder, but even those that aren't as demanding require a lot of training.

Also, it depends on what your definition of hard is. Do you mean physically demanding? Because when you compare table tennis to say, the decathlon....they just don't seem on the same level.

Same here.

I'm like, "Wow, that's cool!"

Mom: "Stephen there's a Bill Gates on the phone, he says he owes you 20 million dollars?"

Me: Mom, quiet! Curling is on!
