I would beg to differ. Gymnasts are probably the most physically fit athletes.
As far as greatest athletes, the men who compete in the decathlon would put most NFL skill players to shame.

You ever PLAYED the game of football? High school football, maybe?
Unless you've played ORGANIZED football, and felt the physical brutality of the game first-hand, you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
Decathlete versus a football player? Really? Gymnasts? Really? Why didn't you include golfers and bowlers too?
Ginscpy is absolutely right on. Football players are, by far, the best all-around athletes in the WORLD.

Yes, I played football in high school. I started as a linebacker my junior & senior year. I remember puking my guts out at summer practice. And I am not saying they are not fit to the extreme. But have you looked at what decathlon athletes do? Have you watched an Iron Man competition?
The skill players never have to run more than 100 yards at a time. Granted, there are obstacles, but a 1500 meter sprint is harder than a 100 yard dash, as far as the aerobic endurance goes.
And gymnastics? Have you seen what those guys are capable of doing? No, they don't hit anyone and its not a "tough man" kinda sport. But the level of physical fitness is amazing.

You are trying to compare apples to potatoes.
You are taking athletes who specialize in ONE or two NON-CONTACT "sports" (gymnastics, track & field, swimming) and trying to compare them to athletes who are, overall, stronger, tougher, faster, etc. than ANY athletes in any of the specialized sports you mentioned.
How long would a gymnast or decathlete last on a football field? Better have an ambulance, and probably a coroner, standing by.

I get that you don't like soccer. But the fact is that it IS a physically demanding sport.

Yeah sure it is. The fullbacks just work their asses off when their team gets the ball into the opponent's territory, right? And the goalies. I mean with SOOO many shots on goal, they just bust their asses for 90 straight minutes.
Sorry bro, too much lag time during games to be comparing physical demands of soccer with some of the other major sports.

I wrestled in high school. It was indeed a rough sport.
The practices weren't picnics either.
How about a tennis line judge?

Not many timeouts and no substitutions in soccer. I consider soccer to be one of the dullest games on earth, but the players are constantly running up and down the field for an hour and a half. Dexterity in moving a ball through conjested areas of the field and getting a shot on goal is impressive

Amateur wrestling is very demanding. Three minutes of hell followed by a one minute break
