Hitting a baseball or golf ball (in a straight line) are often cited as the most difficult things to do in sports, but it seemed to us that plenty of people on the planet can do them, and even do them well enough to be successful in the major leagues or qualify for professional golf tournaments. Likewise for returning a tennis serve, finishing a triathlon or competing in a downhill ski event.

Now's it's your turn: Tell us what you think are the hardest things to do in sports?
