They are all very, very hard. The normal person could probably not compete in the events. Even the table tennis is very difficult.

the clean up when it's over.

Answer 6

Definitely Gymnastics. Cause it takes several years of training and practice to be able to do back-flips, sommersaults and all that they do..Not anyone can do that without formal training...it takes years of training, practice and hard work to get the level of an olympic gymnast..While in sports like volleyball or basketball it really doesnt take a certain "talent" or "skill"..anyone can kick or hit a ball...

Answer 7

400m Individual Medley (Swimming)

or the marathon run

Answer 8

marathon...but i'll say this, if your facing u.s.a basketball and your the other country, its pretty hard to win...and to person who said "While in sports like volleyball or basketball it really doesnt take a certain "talent" or "skill" are you serious? if thats so why arent you in the WNBA or why am i not in the NBA? it does take skill or talent otherwise i would be the starting pointguard for the LA Lakers
