If you feel like your sport should be higher on the list, just say so. Please don't freak out.
Horseback riding (or Equestrian) is one of the most intense sports known to man. Not only because it's physically challenging, but it takes more than athleticism.

This sport is so hard I don't know why people say gymnastics is harder because well it's kind of like gymnastics but wayy harder! you have to workout daily and have full determination otherwise this is not a sport for you, you have to been on time with a lot of team members making it look all in sync and perrrfect! Plus the time and effort that goes into making the team, then all of your money is sucked up on competing at shows such as nationals, omggg super hard and you need to keep your eye on the prize otherwise your giving your body the workout of your life for no reason. Its super fun and exciting and you get to be very flexible, do amazing tricks in the air throwing people up and doing flips and all kinds of tumble! I loveee it!

To fence requires quick thinking and perfectly timed footwork. Fencing is mentally challenging as you are required to think fast of possible moves, parries, ripostes and attacks to use on your opponent. Then there is the fact that you have to pay very close attention to the opponent and their techniques and strategies so that you may one-up them and win the bout.
I always remember these sports so late! As soon as I put the list up I realized that I should've added fencing, it really is a mentally wearing sport and whenever I watch the matches in the Olympics I can practically hear their brain working.
