as someone who’s done basically every sport ur average high school has to offer i can confidently say gymnastics is the hardest sport ever not only physically but mentally. that is the only sport i have ever feared for my life while trying new things

figure skaters cheerleaders and horseback riders seem to always really beef with this but try a handstand rn. do a flip on a 4 inch wide piece of wood. try landing on something your foot isn’t already attached to after doing a flip and losing sight of it. you just have to hope and pray you land after you jump. i have a scar on my hip from missing the beam 12 years ago still

some parkour people or whatever like to make videos calling it easy because they’re doing elite level skills but they are doing them so ugly no judge would ever count it as the skill they’re trying to do. one of the hard things is doing the skill and making it look clean and graceful. if you can’t do the skill without ugly swings and bent legs you are not doing the skill

as hard as i think figure skating is (once again, both physically AND mentally) i will never try and act like gymnastics isn’t harder. can i do some skills? yes. can i do them well or balancing on a beam? absolutely not.
