Here is on that hasn't been mentioned but should be near the top: Downhill Ski Racing
Most of the racers have each course memorized when they start, and thay still have to remain focused throughout the race.
You need to be ripped to flex the skis that the World Cup athletes uses, not your ordinary everyday ski.
It takes alot of agility and coordination to manuever around slalom and GS gates.
Speed: 80 mph on ice with very little protection, thats just insane.
Ohh and skiers have won the last two competitions in which athletes of various sports face off against one another in various agitility, speed and coordination competitions.
