    Agreed. The slow motion actually took away from demonstrating the full difficulty of these moves. Most things look easier when done very slow, and these are no exception. Showing the slips at full speed would have added very little time, but a lot of value.

    To be the best in any sport is very difficut, especially now with ever increasing numbers competing at the highest levels. But be the athlete to jump the highest, be the fastest, have the best balance & hyper-flexibility, keep perfect synchronization with the timing of another; then maintain a healthy, slender, muscular, PERFECT body & look impeccably beautiful, graceful & elegant during every performance all this seems impossible & is awsome to behold. This is something only the angles could accomplish until there was ballet. Ask any athlete, man or woman (they're out there), who has done more than a year or two of ballet classes. There's nothing more difficult ever.

    Same with figure skating. Plus there's the factor of fitting the mold. My routines center around well known pop culture bc if the judges don't recognize it they won't like it. Iconic psycho soundtrack vs Zappaguri from Parasite. I love them both but Psycho would win bc of its legacy. Never gamble with medals on the line.

    Katherine Grey 3 months is probably not enough time to understand how hard ballet is. I can strongly agree with you that ballet is much easily said than done. Me trying a basic move made me almost topple over. But Football is still pretty difficult. Try playing just 70 minutes of football. FATIGUE WILL KILL YOU! Plus I live in Jamaica so the sun shines bright all throughout the match. Ballet = Football. In terms of difficulty. It realy depends on the person. If you are flexible and good at "multitasking", ballet. If you have a lot of Stamina and willing to learn rules and other things, football.
