Top Ranked Skill Sports
Which sports are rated highest for skill - the specific skill set and technique required to be successful? This list is based on the ratings of the factors of success considered most important by visitors to this website. Tenpin Bowling and swimming were considered the sports requiring the most skill.
The ratings are still being recorded (this list is from December 2019), so the list order may change over time. Although over 50 of the world's major sports have been analyzed, there may be others that were not included and could also be ranked highly too.
