"First time being tackled by a girl; it was good."
I want to be tackled by a swedish blonde girl too!
i dont think he meant to say it like that
So?
All we wanted to see them do was wrestle, fall in love, or both.
definitely happened after the vid
Hahaha đ„°đ„°đ„°
I have to admit that I started crying of laughter the way she flopped on the bag lmao I loved her in this video and it was so adorableđ
That was the definition of Pomf~
I read this literally 2 seconds before that part came on and I died of laughter đ
yeah that was satisfying to watch
6:45 the way she done it is adorable,it's like a hug and she bounces at the end
Sam: *Flops like a magikarp trying to get out of bridge*
Sofia: ÉąáŽáŽáŽ
Dont you mean a pin?
These sport swaps gave me more insight about those sports then watching their plain versions. You've made me watch many sports that I never would've clicked. Thanks, great idea.
if they didn't fall in love after this i guess love really don't exist
IKR
This is why sport science universities are the best :)
This is why an incredible amount of doin' it happens in the Olympic village.
What happens in Olympic village stays in Olympic village
Link Ployd well... except for the diseases
@@jordantorres8735 Too lazy to look it up myself right now, sorry, but just google how many condoms get handed out for free in the olympic villages in order to prevent spreading diseases. Don't remember the number, but it was A FREAKING LOT of rubbers đ
@@ichmeiner4531 When they went to Brazil for the 2016 Olympics I remember that it hit the news that they had to hire an specialized engineer to boost the sewage system of the area so it could handle all the condoms being flushed down the toilet
@@ichmeiner4531 I've heard 100,000 which I think was 1992 and 175,000 in some later years. but people with fit bodies, repressed due to all that hard training, and having something in common with each other, supposedly that's a lot of the reason. keep in mind there are around 10,000 athletes
Both have one thing in common,both can kill me in seconds
đđđđ same
Man, the way she tackles that bag... đđ
They make a cute couple.
deliman7203 he should feel more comfortable with her..
Visually, but they were hella awkward with each other.
deliman7203 He was really awkward.. lol
No they donât. I feel like youâre saying that because theyâre both pretty
They look a lot like siblings hahahaaha
Dammit, its same like ice hockey - figure skating swap, i ship them
Haha the episode of sports swap I've always wanted
"I had reach, she had flexibility. It was brutal. After 9 rounds, the judges declared it a draw. A lot of unhappy bettors in the other room. We, uh, ended up having a tiebreaker in her quarters. I had reach, she had flexibility. More than one way to work off stress, I guess..."
6:45 She looks like a crash test dummy... I LOVE IT!
I feel like these segments are mostly Olympic matchmaking lol.
To breed the strongest offspring, like cattle farming.
Really digging the 80âs training montage music starting at 5:00
Sam: *tries to get out of the bridge but failed*
Sofia: You were really good!
same when he envourages her with her dropkicks!
That was really interesting. Thanks for posting this.
I wanted her to get a take down on him
When she tackled the dummy omg I was laughing so hard
If these 2 dont get married, love doesnt exist
i really enjoy these, but i'd love to see them do a full wrestling match with someone their own size, or maybe a little bit smaller, and same for the rugby playing. so they can feel the true challenge under realistic conditions. i do both, and believe me it can be humbling when someone with skills shows you how its done
This is faaaaaar from what I expected. Nobody expects wrestler's skills to transfer to handling the balls... I am interested in how well they can do as forward players, in scrums and so forth. Likewise, I am interested in how "strong" the rugby tackles are against the wrestlers, rather than how fast... There is absolutely no point of "swap" in this video.
decidrophob Iâve done BJJ and rugby players are always the hardest newbies that donât have other grappling training
These are my two sports!
Great series!
Dude I am lovin their new content, they are really involving wrestling!
This made me even more proud to be a girl wrestlerđȘđđ»
COLORED_ _BRIGHTLY
Yep, we're good in nearly everything. đȘ
@@water9584 besides getting equality
euan ! Iâm ded
@@water9584 you should put a pro male wrestler against a female one in the same weight class. Or in any other sport.
@@irishbaytree6981 JAJAJAJA
We need a rowing and kayak swap
Ah this reminds me of my wrestling experience... I felt like I would slipp a disk when I would do those neck bridges, ah the good ole days
THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER LMAO FR THO
Living these Olympic Rom Coms
Ok, getting a little addicted here!:)
10:06 Iâm dying
Lmao at that dude trying to do a neck bridge lolđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
I think it is easier for the wrestler to learn rugby then the reverse (assuming both are top athletes in their sport). Wrestling requires a unique type of athleticism that I don't think rugby players develop. Whereas the wrestling athleticism is so universal (needing speed, strength, balance, flexibility, toughness) that it is easier to adapt to rugby, just needing to learn the techniques instead of redeveloping how their bodies are built. Think of skill points in video games, wrestlers have very balanced base physical stats, whereas rugby has more selected base stats, and more specialized skills.
peppa pig wants your mum
Rugby is way tougher than wrestling, the concussion rate almost triples American footballs, same as injuries
I honestly really want to see boxing vs taekwondo
TKD would probably get wrecked honestly.
@@Damuse8191 don't underestimate Taekwondo đ
It looks that they really fall un loveđđđ
If she challenged him to wrestle straight up he might have had some chances due to the size difference if he got off like a body check
They should have got a slightly smaller male wrestler to wrestle him
@Lenox Covington Even the same size the guy always has the advantage. Men are way stronger and not to mention they're more durable, have greater burst of power and natural aggression.
I absolutely dig my girl's tackling technique of running up on the pad and dying for a quick second
in rugby league they teach wrestling to a degree, all sports can learn from each other, the greats never leave a stone unturned to improve.
Do volleyball v badminton
My dad always says I should be playing Rugby instead of soccer because how rough I can get đ
Hey guys I've just checked Sofia's and Sam's Instagrams and not only the aren't together but Sofia is married and have kids. With a different man!! Heartbreaking
They should date.
Why didn't they choose two blokes of the same size?? That would have been more fun
7:15 now kiss
They're sooo cool!
this type of video should be called.... hey we are different but we fall in love ....
Little did he know that it's Tokyo 2021 now đ
I could tell that both of them were interested in each other, they would have made a good couple.
They literally showed no signs of being interested in each other. They were being polite.
@@happynewfears1805 what a shame. They make a good couple
7:17 That look of impending doom on her face!
lol
2:52 what's wrong with his elbow?
The plot of a romantic comedy.
American football vs rugby 7s, mayhaps?
That Rugby guy looks like a combination of Jake Shields mixed with CB Dolloway
Wrestling is one of the hardest sports out there. They say not every athlete can be a wrestler, but a wrestler can be any athlete.
not reallyđ
Yeah,No.
Imagine being 103kg at 100cm
It's like watching a cute couple whilst on a date â„ïž
hes such an englishmen i love him
Clem Zeno He is from Wales not England đ
Wo is das Gewichtheben? xD titel ist irgendwie fail xD
They didnât really teach each other about their respective sport
Pelinore71 Yeah, I feel like they barely touched the surface in their sports. Espically for wrestling, like they didn't even show takedowns. And only did like one throw...
I don't think you understand the true depth of the sports. You can't teach someone over a day or a week. It's almost all self exploration in both sports
@@thesunrises7756 its a 10 min video guy and they are showing two sports they aren't going to be able to really do much in 5 mins
CZcams showed me this video with a translated title into my language (German) and it says "Rugby vs. Gewichtheben" which means "Rugby vs. weight lifting". So I got kind of clickbaited when I realized it was wrestling, not weight lifting. Please fix this incorrect title translation.
woah woah woah his elbow
I can't unsee it now :l
Of course it comes in handy. She's a wrestler she know how to sprawl, duck under, funk, reverse and even double leg her opponent
When she said Big guy, Hulk and Natasha.
The guy is shy
So just checking that weâre absolutely sure that Welshie is only 100cm tall? Like Iâm not gonna lie but is like on a stool at 1:33?
I want to know why GB play as whole nation in rugby and play by individual team of England, Scotland and Wales and Ireland in cricket.
Sniper 2000 What you are saying applies only in the Olympics where they play as Great Britain. Otherwise in rugby they play separately as England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland
The challenge should have been him trying to take him down
I play rugby and I love it. I often thought about how I would love to try out wrestling, as well, but I am a bit insecure about it. I am pretty obese and weight 110kg (as a woman). Do you girls (maybe also guys) who do wrestling think I can still do wrestling? I am afraid that in the local wrestling school there won't be any other women about my size to do a fair match wouldn't be possible even in training. And I am also wondering about competition. I know that for professional competitions the highest weight class for women is 72 kg. So would I not be able to compete as I grow more experienced or are there different weight classes for amateur wrestling?
At first I was insecure about playing Rugby as well, but there I can often use my physical attributes to be of advantage for my team, so I am not ashamed to train and play with team mates who are all skinnier (and fitter) than me.
Would really appreciate an answer :)!
çŸ è maybe just try to lose some weight, 110 kg is a bit much, not to be rude, then I think you could definitely wrestle. The highest weight class is 76kg now Iâm pretty sure, try dieting
@@sarahranlett9453 haha, that I know! I dont feel offended by your comment, but for real it's not very helpful. One of the main reasons I started playing rugby and I consider doing wrestling because I want to lose weight (and because I think it's something I would enjoy) but honestly, if I would have to hit the weight limit for the highest weight class, it will take me forever, you cannot lose 40kilo over night. I actually have already lost some weight, about ten kilo, but it takes time.
çŸ è you should do it that why wresting have different weight classes as a good thing
I think it would be great for you:) try crosstraining in judo, it has a +78 weight class, and it helps a lot of people feel less insecure after practicing it for a while. It also helps in wrestling and rugby, mainly because it teaches you how to fall right. It will also encourage you to eat healthier
You should totally try wrestling I wrestle for GB and we donât have nearly enough girls u should just give it a try . And even though 72 kg is the highest weight thatâs only in UWW comps such as the worlds or Europeans in all other comps itâs just what u weigh in at and if any other girls weigh in at that u should give it a try anyways tho just go for it!!
They look cute together
Superbe :-) Very coool!!!
Oh cute couple.
Iâve seen this video before...
Heavyweights can barely bridge in wrestling
That's bullshit, everybody bridges
All wrestlers can bridge. Even the guys at 130 kg
so cool that i am the same weight as her but she could probably lift and suplex me without breaking a sweat whereas i can barely lift myself out of bed in the morning!
Could have had Jordan Burroughs đ
I want to marry a woman I can wrestle with.
6:55 notice how she went for the hips
He does look like a wrestler, heâs buff

Would have been nice to see him try to wrestler her rather than practice simple warm up routines. Same goes for the Rugby side of things.
Ayyy I do wrestling!
"by a girl"
Wow...................
What's wrong with that statement?
wrestling is more dificult than i thjough.... dawn
What is wrong with his arm?

Are they dating
cute couple
They didn't seem to be very comfortable with each other
0:39 Yo she can pin me like that any day, YAAAHHHH MEEAN??!
So in wrestling, i just keep somebody's feet and can win the match..
but... why didn't they wrestle??? She would have won within 20 seconds, but this would have been a fun 20 seconds! (for us, not for him)
I doubt she would have won at all, given that he's double her size. Technique can only overcome so much strength disparity. That's probably why they didn't do it.
@@c.y.hollander5592 I disagree. I used to do Jiu Jitsu. I was 140lbs back then. I rolled with a friend who was 280 lbs and used to be a karate black belt when he was younger. The first few rolls I completely raped him.
Now after only a couple of rolls, he figured out the big mistakes he was doing and his strenght quickly overcame my technique, but not before a couple rolls, and I was nowhere near a blackbelt myself. I'm sure the size difference between them would have been totally insignificant as we are talking about an olympian here!
@@turmat01 Jiu jitsu is different, in my opinion, because of submission holds, which are a) relatively unfamiliar to untrained people and b1) use leverage and b2) pit strong muscles against weak ones, so don't require actually matching strength against strength. I don't believe that the same thing holds for pin wrestling, in part because that sort of fighting is roughly familiar even to many untrained people, let alone rugby players who train in tackling (the player in the video said they even train in judo!), and in part because many takedowns require a fair bit of strength as well as technique, if nothing else, because one has to lift most or all of an opponent's bodyweight.
I admit that this is just my opinion, and I could be wrong. That's why it would have been interesting to see! But the fact that the video *didn't* show them competing in actual wrestling but only in training exercises leads me to believe that I'm right. Perhaps they even tried it, but the result wasn't what they wanted, so they didn't show it.
đ how about instead of having a giant 220 lb man and 110 lb girl have two men in one episode and have another episode with two women. This is rediculous especially for the wrestling; technique for a tiny female wrestler will be a lot different than for a large male wrestler.... I get itâs all for fun but đđ
John son Jesus calm down, the whole âcompletely different sports, completely different peopleâ is the whole premise of the video
They have video like that as well.
It's all about exploring the sports.
The technique will actually be the same regardless of weight.
As a wrestler Iâm a girl and I train with men and we all do the exact same technique so... there ainât enough girls for there to be separate sessions for boys and girls we all train togethed
In rugby you have to tackle everyone. So it is necessary to practice with larger partners than yourself. The opposite is true as well. The safety of your opponent is a part of the value system of competitive sports. So you must learn to safely achieve your objective.
I want them to fall in love

Should have done it with a guy. More physical
yâall cute
Rugby is an Olympic Sport?
Yes, Ruby Sevens was added for the RIO games and will be continued. It was a great tourney!
This was pretty cringey
