Historically, figure skating was more beauty pageant than sport, so that certainly plays into the "easy" perception of figure skating. Also, this kid can't bench 200 lbs? That's just embarrassing. He needs to work out.
I love figure skating, but I got so much second-hand embarrassment reading this article. It's similar to what cheerleaders say, "lifting girls and doing cartwheels all while wearing a miniskirt is hard. Therefore, cheerleading is a sport!" Sport =/= physical strain on your part.
