Endurance, yes. Athleticism is required in all competitive sports. I am always partial to team sports, because they combine physicality with so many more mental elements and cooperation. Creativity isn't required in race running in the same way it is in, say, soccer or hockey.

Some of the methods for beating the drug tests were incredibly creative!

Mucho sarcasm intended. I think different sports require different things. That doesn't mean any one is better than any other.
