A long time ago, there was the argument that the 3 toughest (strenuous?) sports were water polo, (Australian rules) rugby, and Greco-Roman wrestling. I don't remember anyone arguing for track.
Don't forget gymnastics. Another sport that sometimes does not get enough respect. Talk about being rough on the body! Also, I hate to admit it, but my understanding it that they train more than swimmers.
