Two differents lists have come out on what is the toughest sport in the world. Friendly debate here folks, on what you think it is and why. Did a
sport deservedly make the list? Or are you appalled?
But don't take our word for it. Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic
Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional
lives watching athletes succeed and fail.

And this is ranked by a panel of sports scientists. The page does list their credentials.
starting from number five:
wrestling
basketball
football
ice hocky
boxing.

I am glad to see that ice hockey is up there. I think hockey players have the most skill and take a wallop.
Basketball, meh, not so much.

List number two:
ice hockey
rugby
boxing
Aussie Rules (footy)
And number one:
water polo

I think soccer should of made both lists.
