Wolfram = tungsten. For those who were confused.
Curling is such a strange sport especially the sweeping part
K Lu nikolas won the worlds 4 times after 2019 in Lethbridge
It is actually really easy
@@minecraftexpert5590 if youre good at minecraft you can be good at anything
That’s how I sweep
Minecraft Expert it is easy if u face off constantly against ppl that r worse than u especially if u go to a club with a lot of younger more inexperienced members. Theres a certain learning curve when u start to realize that pushing makes it harder and u become more stable.
Aw I love when the athletes really respect the other sport and can appreciate how it can be challenging but fun too. Successful sports swap!!
I thought he did pretty good for using a recurve with finger release and no peep sight. Especially with minimal training and practice. Having a good instructor really helps though.
Paul Mohr I'm a really good hunter and only use arrows, but I first learned archery at a summer camp and kind of fell in love with it. I had a knack for it after about a week and what really helped me learn so fast was my instructor. The first couple days were frustrating because the arrow would dive 4 feet in front of me, but I eventually got the hang of it.
@@2headedtasman200 Recurve shooters doesn't use peep sights...I think it's prohibited
Thats COMPOOOOUUUND AAAARRCCHEEERRYYYYY
Seems like such a high tech bow reduces the skill level needed to succeed.
@@professorr.5427 Slightly, but not much really. The basics are still the same. What it does is let you be more consistant. But yes, if you want more of a challenge use a stripped down traditional bow.
Rythmic Gymnastics and Figure skating please 😍
I love how well they get along!
This is the most amazing video I've ever seen about switching their sports. While watching I thought they would have a hard time learning the sports they switched to but this video showed us that it is not difficult for a person who is willing to learn on other field.
No it's because those 2 sports in particular are easier to learn
The curling slide is the hardest part of the sport to learn. It took me a few weeks to learn it.
mc04su It takes decades to master the slide...
Nice joke.
I play skip and have been curling for 12 years and honestly the hardest part of the game is learning how the mechanics of the rocks work mixed with the speed of the ice. Some rocks have more bounce then other (live rocks) and other may not move around a lot if hit (dead rocks). And for learning the ice it’s different at every arena, on every sheet so you really have to pay attention in warm up.
Lisa Unruh is a Really cool person🤞❤️🙈
I'm not surprised that Olympic medalists pick up other sports quickly! But why is it that so many Europeans speak English so well, while most Americans can't produce more than a couple sentences of French or Spanish?
Yugan Dali Because Europeans start learning English at school at a young age. In the US, most students don't even start learning a new language until high school (starting at about 14-15 years old).
Wouldnt say that many french can speak english well..
@@eeromakinen4222 That's true. However every French person starts English classes in 6th grade and then has to learn another language in 7th grade. Even if at the end of HS, many teens have a pretty bad level, they can still be understood in 2 languages. It definitely isn't the case for American kids.
In Sweden we start learning English at eight years old. It’s one of the most important subjects in school and we only stop studying it when we graduate, and for some - not even then.
Because English is number 1 language in the World
These guys are all very physically intellectual so they'll pick up anything pretty fast.
Live,laugh and have love while playing sports
**GREAT = EVERYONE WILL SMILE = GUARANTEED**
shut up
true
😂
Guarranteed TO BLOW YOUR MIND....... ANYTIIIIIME
From watching TV curling seems so easy but seeing this just make me realise that archery is easier xD
yea because they're shooting at 18 meters. Anyone can be accurate at close distance.
Yes its easier with that bow but it can be really hard if you shoot another bow. i cant always hit bullseye on 18 meters but i also shoot without aim or stabilisor. But yeah curling is probably also pretty hard.
That was an olympic bow though. With an olympic bow you can just move your hand in the last second and hit the ‘bullseye’ if it was a compound bow, you would need more concentration and if you move an inch, you’ll mess it up. But curling looks really hard. When I watch it Tv it seems fun but after this... 😂
spouting complete nonsense.
that makes no sense. i wouldnt say you need more concentration with a compund bow. With a recurve/barebow you dont have the releaser and therefore you really need to hold the bow still, and the release gotta be prefect. a recurve is of course easier than the barebow since it has the aim and stabilisor but a barebow is al about perfection and steadyness. if you move you hand in the last second you WILL miss the bullseye since it will moove the whole arrow. olympic bows often have lower poundage and therefore there is more time for the arrow to be pushed in the wrong direction by the bow than with a compound. my first shots with a compund was 2x 9 and 1x10. i had a hard time when i went to the recurve/barebow.
5:20 me trying to get my grades up
Both very respectful athletes! Loved watching the whole thing, especially her vibe; such a lovely lady! Thx for sharing👍🏻
Do rowing vs kayaking
Great example of sportsmanship in Korea, Nik!
Seeing him do the spin around made me think of an ice dance twizzle so I’d like to see curling mixed doubles (one man and one woman) and an ice dance couple do the sports swap ⛸
even when she is wobbling so much she has great aim
I used to do archery every weekend as a teenager but life got in the way and I had to give it up. Just hearing the sounds of the bow and the arrow hitting the target really brings me back.
Used to go to tournaments in highschool but then collage came😣
@@yourlovelyneighbour6547 You went to collage ? or *college* ? I guess you failed the English class
@@firstchoicelastchoice28 well firstly, english isn't my main language and secondly thanks for correcting my misspellings ☺️
Edin did the same spin shot at the end of the gold medal game right before he conceded.
Foreshadowing the gold medal match with the spin
Niklas Edin says curling in a very Scottish accent it's hilarious
@ThatOneAsianBroChick maybe it's just me, but he doesn't look very ginger. He looks pure blonde to me (and I actually have red hair and know how it's undertones look)
both of these sports look easy on tv but are nearly impossible hands-on
Archery is easy to learn and very hard to excel.
That's how literally everyone looks the first time they wear a slider on pebbled ice. It's impossible to balance on that thing the first time you try. It's nearly a zero-friction surface.
Do Swimming VS Gymnastics PLEASE
It took me way too long to figure out why they picked these two sports.
Why?
The bullseye
This was a good pairing. I'd like to see a curling pro and bowling pro switch.
OMG YOU INTERVIEWED NIKLAS EDIN!!!!!!!
The centre of an archery target isn't called a Bullseye!!!!!!! It's either the X-ring (due to the X in the centre) or the Gold due to the fact archers used to be awarded gold when they won a competition.
Before anyone says anything, please no fighting between recurve user and compound user!
You say something and he DEWIT
I love this. No hate and who is better they just have a good natured challenge.
This was good
Wow, good form was so good at full draw first up. A natural.
Yep, he's a new Archer! On the other hand! Curling is insanely hard.
They appear to be shooting about 30-40 meters indoor. 30 meters is the shortest distance outdoors, which is where the Olympics is done. The longest distance is 90 meters for men, 70 meters for women. Flight time for an arrow at 90 meters is about 2 seconds.
Isn't there also 100 meter as well?
@@yourlovelyneighbour6547 NO
@@firstchoicelastchoice28 then why on earth does my coach told me to shoot 100 meter for? 😦
@@yourlovelyneighbour6547 Maybe 100 yards but not 100 meters.
Mens F.I.T.A. round is 90 70 50 30 meters
I have shot that round a few hundred times during 20 years of archery.
I was a level 4 National coach in archery and a Canadian champion twice.
@@firstchoicelastchoice28 Ooohh nice
I hate how quickly Edin picked up archery. It seems like he learned as much in this video as I did in two years. He did have great training while I was self taught.... Yeah that's definitely the only reason.... im not bad at archery shut up
Olympic channel, how about between static/target archery and horse-mounted/war archery?
2:47 Trick question: The whole target face for indoor is 20cm. It consist of 5 rings (2 yellow, 2 red, 1 blue). Every ring is the same size. 2cm. How can the gold be 10cm? :P
oh hellooooo Niklas Edin. My archery idol Lisa
I do both sports
Why is Lisa holding her bow that stiff?
You are supposed to let it rest on the thumb joint. And a recurve with a front stabilizer should flip over. As you are essentially not even holding it, you put a string on the fingers so it doesnt drop on the ground.
While I do have some expirience in archery about 4 years for fun and then half a year with a proper trainer. She certainly has more experience and I am really puzzled now.
she shows him 3 shots in the 10 ring and he shows her a trick the boys do after they've had a few beers lol. enjoying the comparisons!
Both activities require a sharp eye to do well.
Actually there are some top archers with pretty bad sight. Im Dong-hyun, a Korean archer, has won 2 gold, 1 bronze olympic medals & a ridiculous number of non olympic medals is legally blind! He has 20/200 vision in one eye & 20/100 in the other.
@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347 lol, working in the 20/3200 range here 20/200 is miniscule!!!:)
Make swimming series
Divining and Trampolining would be a cool swap.
Either he's short or she's tall - or even both - but I still love my Swede Niklas
Their heights are written in the begining.
Just realized they teach each other
They have good chemistry, I totally ship them
Ok before watching, the answer is no.
Edit: ok I was wrong
Chevere!!
I ship them
It’s a bit colder *wheeze*
Wouldn't it be closer to swap lawn bowlers and curlers?
Brock Mak but lawn bowling isn't a Olympics sport and this is a channel for Olympics sports.
Bowling has absolutely nothing in common with curling.
2:35 tungsten in English
they'd make a lovely couple
I've curled for as long as I can remember and I didn't think it was that hard
THAT'S SO AMAZING....here you go➡🍪
I'm from Germany 😄 and I know Lisa Unruh
Lol interesting that they called tungsten what it was called formerly. Wolfram.
I wish Lisa Unruh could coach me
Same!
9:45
I still don’t understand how sweeping helps
Sophia Griffiths Decreases friction so it keeps the stone moving further.
when you sweep the stone goes further and straighter when they stop the stone will start to curl in the direction the stone is spun.
@@trampslikeus3575 So it is like a bowling ball and needs no sweeping
Archery and something with gun please
The 2 are way too different to compare them. Archery is easy to learn and very hard to excel.
I imagine that they went on a date after shooting
why don't u give him a beginner recurve bow and not the olympic style bow?
There's like no excessive in archery. There is in curling, up not much.
Cringe Crewism 101 no excessive?
Interesting
The Arrow IRL??
do rower and velodrome cyclist
the guy looks like mitchell from modern family
Curling seems more of a skill than sport tbh
Boy x girl
silver medalist Niklas Edin
Olympic silver medalist Lisa Unruh. What's your point?
I follow Niklas performances but unfortunately I don't know Lisa
That's fine but what was your point in saying he was a silver medalist?
because I stumbled upon this video a couple of days after the Olympic Curling final USA Sweden that I watched hoping for gold (for sweden of course) but The US team played very well and finally silver was not so bad for Sweden
Omg that's my rink like that's were i have hockey training!🤯
Why do they write "Wolfram" onscreen when they could have just used the English tungsten instead, it is 100% the same except English speaking people understand it?
Maybe because you are the only crazy people who call it tungsten? Literally everyone else calls it Wolfram, because that's what it is.
Is tungsten a word of scandinavian origin? In swedish "tungsten" literally means heavy rock.
Mcquiz95 I'm Australian and I only use the word tungsten... weird 😂
Yeah, it is the old Swedish name of a mineral from which Tungsten metal can be refined. Tungsten is pretty dense so the rocks are literally heavier than other rocks :p.
:)
Didn't even know there's a sport called Curling. Just found out from this video. How known is it?
Уверен, что я ничего не понимаю, но на мой непонимающий взгляд керлинг - не спорт (тем более олимпийский), а недоразумение какое-то...
I always thought that curlers used ice skates... haha how do they not slip?
Their shoes have a sliding Teflon surface on one foot... and a grippy rubber surface on the other! 👍
Your dominant foot has a grippy surface so you can push off the blocks, the non dominant has a slippery surface to allow you to slide. When your not throwing there's a cover you can put on the slick shoe to get full grip
Niklas after a few hours of training hits high target while i can't even get my shots right. RIP
He has good coach
One of these sports is a lot cooler than the other.
Curling. They play it on ice. It's cooler.
THEY LOOK LIKE SIBLINGS WITH THE GIRL AS THE OLDER SISTER
"I don't eat sugar for concentration". Isnt the brains energy source glucose?
there are many other sources of good complex carbs for energy
Monosacharides gives a sugarkiick followed with sluggishness
yes, but your body can make that by himself from any carbs or proteins. sugar works the fastest, and gives you a quick rush, but it also triggers an insulin response, because that's what your body uses to transport glucose into the cells. and when it's done your bloodsugar is way too low, and you lose concentration, unless you keep eating sugar forever. it basically makes your bloodsugar peak end then plumit before stabilizing again, instead of having it stable all the time.
Owh, they are so suitable. After that shoting, I hope they'll be love each other 😜
Curling is far harder than archery.
Thomas Fleig how would you know
At what level have you done them because I highly doubt it's an Olympic level.
stupid claim, no competetive sport with enough competition is harder than any others. they're all so hard, that only 1 can win.
Try olympic discipline archery then
remember archery isnt about hitting the middle. It is about hitting the middle repeatedly over hundreds of arrows
I cringed when she told him to keep his left arm straight. If you have proper form, your left elbow should be bent slightly so your arm doesn't get hit by the bowstring. If they did that, they wouldn't have to wear the armguards. Of course, I'm also a traditional, non-Olympic archer (no sights or balancers, and my bows lack both a sight window and arrow rest/shelf), so everything about it feels wrong to me. Olympic archery just seems rigid.
writer15131 i shoot both styles and they are completely different. Try to hit a 10 at 70 meters 70 % of the time with a traditional bow. Good luck. Even with a olympian recurve it is very hard to obtain these scores. Olympic archery is all about perfection and consistency. I hate it when people say this kind of bow is too easy. It‘s not.
I shoot traditional for fun. I love being in the nature and have a good time with my friends and sometimes it‘s challenging if the animal is well placed. But i shoot Olympian Style for the competition.
The swedish guy is so attractive!
There wasn’t enough ice puns in the video. I was expecting at least half of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze levels of puns. “Ice job” and “Chill out” type of stuff. But no. Nada. Bummer.
I will never understand the Curling haha
I really don't like the editing.
かっけぇ〜
Curling is a joke
zis are ze limbs
Her jawline tho
Too lazy to translate "Wolfram" to "tungsten"?
Come on man...
I was thinking the same. I was so baffled because I could've sworn that they were the same but that confirms it. At least they don't do word-for-word subtitles when they slip-up the English (no offence to the athletes, it's not their job to be fluent in English... unlike whoever's job it was to write the subtitles)
Curling is so weird.
Curling should have never been an Olympic sport.
The woman is taller than the man
and?
You're comparing a German woman. And Swedish man
failtolawl swedes are taller on average than a german
who caaaaaaaaaaaaaares
Are archers generally tall?
And as always the German's English is soo bad 😂
And how good is your German? Better than her English?
Anna Westner yes i'm German and the "Englisch" is auto correction (?),i know it's actually spelled without the c.
I didn't mean to say that her English is aweful because- as you mentioned- mine isn't better either, i've just been to countries where the English language is taken more serious than here.
And in most cases we have a pretty strong accent.
Thanks for correcting me anyway :)
(you can correct me again if you want to so I learn from my mistakes)
Julia 23 Oooh girl, wait until you go to France lol (and I say that as a French)

Julia 23 it’s a bit late for a response, but I just wanted to let you know that awful is spelled without an “e” ^^
