this may have been true before people started wearing comically huge shorts slathered in ads.

tennis gets my vote. the movement is balletic.

second choice would be ski jumping.

agree, but the number of people on the court and constant cutting etc doesn't have much aesthetic appeal. individual parts of every sport are beautiful. the foot movement of a fatass football offensive lineman is beautiful if isolated in slow motion. and every sport has beautiful moments when frozen in a photograph. but it's hard to find many of them beautiful in real time.

plays in sports that loosen the defense enough to penetrate are beautiful to watch, but that's a tactical beauty more than a physical one.

nice aesthetics on a macro scale, but entirely too many fatasses play, and way too many players look like fucking slobs. if they executed everyone over 180 lbs and made high socks and stirrups mandatory, you'd be on the right track.

you post the least aesthetic rider with the least aesthetic style to make this argument? there are some effay things (the environments/architecture, the leader jerseys, some team kits, the drug use) but pissing on the side of the road isn't effay.

surprised no one has mentioned auto racing. but also not surprised because it's not a sport. and also because like boxing it was infinitely more effay 50 years ago.
