<p>Most people aren’t exposed to rowing. I mean, you need a team of people, water and a boat to do it. Meanwhile just pick up a racquet some balls and a partner and go. Tennis is at least a more prominent sport than rowing is.</p>
<p>I hate tennis,haha. Basketball for me.</p>
<p>silence_kit, you are proving that Asians are not into fit sports. You can weigh 150 or 400 pounds and still be good at baseball.</p>
<p>I agree with the non-contact aspect and the athletic ability aspect.</p>
<p>For many of my friends they started tennis early, work very hard, and are very committed. They are nationally ranked.</p>
<p>As for lack of innate ability, I think that many Asians are slightly disadvantaged due to height. While height is not the only important characteristic to have, it is generally advantageous in most sports (^crew/rowing is generally better for those with larger wingspan… though being the cox is easier for shorter and smaller people).</p>
<p>I am Asian. I figure skate. To my knowledge, a fair number of Asians do figure skating or gymnastics as in those sports it is advantageous to be short.</p>
<p>Japan and Korea are exceptional in international Baseball.</p>

<p>In my opinion, any sport is difficult if you play it at a highly competitive level.</p>
