Which are the premier athletes?

[Drunken Cat]

Please note, I'm talking of real athletes here. Not people that play games with balls.

Multiple choice poll.

Also, these are broad categories. So, wrestling includes all styles. Weightlifting includes Olympic style, strongman, power lifting, etc. Etc.

Synchronised swimmers.

In fairness they probably have great core strength.

The thing is there is no benchmark for overall athleticism. Boxers are going to be better than weight lifters at short bursts of high intensity anaerobic exertion while gymnasts will be significantly more agile and flexible. Boxers might be better runners than climbers but won't be better runners than runners. It's a bit of a ****** question.

It's not a ****** question. All of the sports I mentioned demand superb athletic ability. Which sport is more physically/athletically demanding is a valid question. Also, gymnastics requires substantial strength, as well. And the poll is multiple choice for a reason.
