yeap.
In HS i was wrestling a guy and he dislocated his shoulder. wich was ok because i was loseing 9-3 in the second round. hate getting a win like that but its better then a lose.
I wrestled in HS and college (2 years) while i was lucky and wrestled at my natural weight it was still a pain to keep the weight on. heck My freshmen year i started at JV at 98 lbs (ack!) but i was good enough that the coach had me wrestle at 103 varsity. Man that was taugh i could only get to 101-102. Even though i was eating way to much fatty foods at the time. heh i would have people come up and give me there lunch because they couldnt eat it and i had to.
glad that i gained some from my sophmore year to my jr year. though i only got up to ~123.
I'm sure that you could have beaten the lower half of my cross country team, most conditioned athletes could...........but are you saying that you could beat the top half, who actually work their a$$es off in practice every day (most of the time 2x a day and on weekends) in a 10 or 15k run??? I think not. Maybe in shorter distances (some CC'ers just can't do the 400-800 very fast).
Anyway.......back to the discussion at hand. I played BB/CC/Track during High school and most of college, and by far the hardest workours for me were CC. But that doesn't mean that I think that they are the hardest overall. I like hearing your experiences with other sports. Wrestling sounds like a biatch.

I say it's either a cross between Wrestling and Cross Country . . ..
Well, my school, anyways; I'm not going to lie - I've participated in neither, but from what I hear about conditioning in wrestling, it's brutal - but in my highschool, I went to school with the Torres twins (Ed and George) if anyone knows about them, we were powerhouses in Track & Field/Cross Country - so their training regimen was that much worse - a lot of my biuddies were in track and so was my brother . . ..

Track. There is no competition. Any decent track practice will have most participants vomitting after the practice is over, if not during.
Where are the options for badminton/racquetball/squash, running, cycling, rugby, and rowing.
I would like to see a fat ass pro foolball player last an hour in a pro ball court with out losing kilograms of water. Or, sprinting/running/cycling up/down a mountain side. And, IMHO, most of the pro football player wouldn?t last an hour of 6-7 minute intervals @ 2000 meter on a shell with out drowning or at the very least toss their cookie.
played a year of football in HS.... we went 0-16... beside losing, and wondering if today I was gonna get my a$$ kicked in the locker room it was a good learning experience.
One other thing about wrestling. Yeah, football is often times in the heat of the day. With wrestling, you go into a room where they turn the heat up as high as they can get it and then you put on a weight loss suit that makes it even more hot.
Turn your quote around and it'll be the same damn thing. The only people who'd last a full game as a lineman from your list of sports would MAYBE be rugby players.
I don't know about the football programs other people are talking about, but the coaches I played for were huge on conditioning. Gassers (sprint forward and back to each 10 yard line progressively until the 50 yard line), snakes, indian runs, countless yards of bear crawls. All this after running through drills, skele, scrims etc.
I have a lot of friends that wrestled, the only thing they ever complained about was making weight: Wearing 3 pairs of sweatpants under garbage bags while riding a stationary bike for an hour.
Maybe swimming, but I did that for literally my whole life so it never seemed hard, it was just what you did....
Wrestling was very tough. I don't know why it wears you out so quickly, but it does.
I guess I would vote for wrestling, although if I had spent my whole life wrestling and only started swimming later in life, I might feel differently.

As I have said above a pansy football player wouldn?t last in a rugby practice/game with out padding or survive the entire game as midfield soccer player. And, don?t even try to put a fat ass 250-300 lbs guy that have zero stamina on a shell and make him work at 97~100% strength at 30 min out of an hour on water with out a rescue boat. But, I'm sure that most if not all rugby/soccer players, and rower would be more than fit to stand in a game or foot ball practice.
PS. I too have played many sports at highschool, university & province (state) level.
