Which is harder to learn and compete in - Rythmic Gymnastics or Artistic Gymnastics?

Question

What does everybody think?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I say Artistic. All those flips and tricks...strength required...much more.

Answer 2

i think artistic. you have to do flips and be strong and stuff. rhythmic you just have to be flexible and control an instrument with choreography. i think more people would be able to learn rhythmic in a much faster time. and the average person who will be able to do artistic is far less.

EDIT

they are built differently. artistics are short and stout while rhythmic are tall and lean (really skinny). rhythmic emphasizes aesthetic appeal moreso
