Which is harder to learn and compete in - Rythmic Gymnastics or Artistic Gymnastics?

What does everybody think?

Thanks.

Update:

Being that most artistic gymnasts peak at 14-16 and then usually retire at 20, I wonder why more artistic gymnasts do not switch to rythmic gymnastics when they hit their 20's?? Rythmic gymnasts average ages seem to be 20+.

    i think artistic. you have to do flips and be strong and stuff. rhythmic you just have to be flexible and control an instrument with choreography. i think more people would be able to learn rhythmic in a much faster time. and the average person who will be able to do artistic is far less.

    EDIT

    they are built differently. artistics are short and stout while rhythmic are tall and lean (really skinny). rhythmic emphasizes aesthetic appeal moreso

    first of all, it relatively is the ice skating type. I actual have finished creative Gymnastics, and that i at the instant do Rhythmic Gymnastics. I relish RG lots extra, as a results of fact it could provide lots extra danger for expression and charm than AG does. I additionally like it as a results of fact it relatively is fairly ordinary for me, as a results of fact i'm certainly very co ordinated. even though it relatively is impossible to declare which you will like extra. the perfect element to do is attempt them the two out, and verify it relatively is extra exciting for you.
