To all you supposed avid cyclists that are criticizing Elis Ligtlee for her weight, you don't understand the physiological demand of track cycling sprinters, which are different from most other forms of competitive cycling. It is a power sport, not power to weight. She isn't a very fast runner, sure, but in her area of expertise, she is a champion, and so much faster than her road cycling counterparts in a flat 500m. Don't make the mistake of equating fitness with a specific body type, and don't be an insecure shaming prick just because she is heavier than a road cyclist.
also track cyclists tend to have more mass than open road cyclists because road cycling is an endurance sport
Yep she probably has an insane power output. Her job is probably closer to being a weightlifter than an Tour de France style rider.
What should be criticized is that they put this great cyclist with a mediocre sprinter
Keith Young look at all the top males.....all lean.
Right and these are two women... top discus, shot-put and Javelin throwers, top Decathletes and Daphne Schippers aren't "lean". Athletes' bodies are a 'Form meets Function' equation and clearly her body/Form is perfect for what she does/Function.
Please do Micheal Phelps and Usain BoltđđâĄđââïž
Gabriela Garcia swimming and running are entirely different sports... at least biking and running are pretty similar
Connor Kamp yeah I get what you mean, but i don't mean they participate competitively, i just think it'd be really fun and interesting to watch.
they are both retired from the olympics though
then they might have more free time to do things like this
Biking and running are entirely different sports. That's why they were so bad at swapping sports.
I can't decide which was funnier cyclist hammering the ground or runner toeing on the track bike lol
atleast they're achieving things in their lifes
SOMUCHPHANDOMS !! They are great athletes
I can understand the worry of the first-time track rider. Itâs super unstable.
Waseem Zia but we all have to agree the funniest thing was them in the olympics and not u
@@tomj2064 tf is your humour? Horrible
Can u do sprinters do long distance and long distance to a sprint
yes!! the millon dollar question
no, it is not the same type of effort.
For sure the long distance runner would win. I mean, if you put a 100/200mt sprinter vs a 10k or half-marathon, the long distance will still be fast in sprinting but the sprinter won't be fast at 10k. It is a much different effort than this comparison that's based on power, not power and endurance.
Chris Plays You're never gonna find a volunteer
Well theres this youtuber called vegan cyclist, he did a test with a track sprinter, you guys can look it up
It made my feet hurt when the cyclist sprinted the first time while practicing a heel running technique. It's natural to heel run for most people but it hurts a lot in spikes.
All the little English mis-steps were really cute. Like "I'm going to learn you" and "feet" hahaha
Kylie Perry and "when you're on a party" đ
she's not accustomed to speaking english. get over the culture shock.
everyoneâs saying âoh stop calling the cyclist fatâ but i literally see no comments calling her fatđ€
People write those comments to get likes. The fact that the video has so few dislikes shows that nobody minds the cyclist's body.
@@rodrigotolosa590 exactly
@@rodrigotolosa590 that has nothing to dk with it. Its just the algorithm used to show comments, later comments often undermine the early ones
@@sambenmoser1240 i've scrolling the comments for like 5 minutes and cant find a single one talking about her body
@@300tendo and there you have the proof
Is no one mentioning the runners arms like I want those đ
Hit the gym, diet won't get you that.
gotta work for it, just like she did!
Tbh you dont have to hit the gym to get those arms. I got arms like that and even bigger by just doing pushups and pullups in my house.(pushups, pullups, tricep dips, and more)
the body of the sprinter speaks for itself....and the cyclist body oh man...no comment...
@@adumb535 When he says hit the gym I think he's just meaning workout.... It's not like you LITERALLY HAVE to go to the gym..
These two ladies are just so lovely, I had such a great time just watching them hang out :)
if any of you want to attempt beat Elis Ligtlee's speed at your local velodrome, you must be able to hold 39.1 miles per hour for 200 meters.
good luck with that, buddy.
đđ»Thank you
It's not so unlikely. I bet a good number of Cat 1 and above amateur men have a good shot. It takes something like 850 W for 10 s plus run up which isn't really all that crazy.
For reference Francois Pervis averages 48 mph over 200 m and 39 mph over 1km.
@@appa609 As an amateur cyclist(like I'm not even racing), I can do 40 mph for like 180-220m, but not on a velodrome. Maybe I could do better there.
PaulPunk23LP itâs hard to tell on road because there might be small amounts of wind and slope affecting the result.
I beat her time easily as an elite track sprinter and I can still beat her time as a Cat 1 roady... That is not the issue. The issue is people thinking they can do better when they have not ridden on a velodrome... like Paul... It is not easy to sprint on a track. But please do try!
First time on a track bike is terrifying so it's understandable, fear of crashing and hurting yourself, plus the high banking
Nice one! I definetly wanna continue watching that type of content!
Her: a distinguished career in track cycling at 23 years old...you? Watching this video.
I'm giving her her paycheck.. that's how I see it.
KiLLED5639 no
Iâm 14 and becoming a pro cyclist , what you do at 14
@@KiLLED5639 olympic athletes don't get money, that's one of the rules.
@@OneDerscoreOneder That hasn't been the case for quite some time now. I mean, they don't get a cash price from the Olympic Committee, but many certainly do get money from other events, a salary from their team, money from sponsorships and bonuses for doing well in the Olympics.
The cyclist runs like she has high heels
Everyone's awkward their first time in spikes
@Aimee Frost I reckon the issue is simply that she isn't driving hard enough with her legs, ie she needs to run faster. When you run fast actually pulling the ground under you with your feet, even in normal shoes, you end up very much on your forefoot. The cyclist is both going really slow and has terrible technique / posture. She should be standing more upright, and her trailing femur should be going way beyond being in line with her torso. She barely even manages to extend her hip. She is more like doing a burglars tip toe. Like if she was trying to run without making a sound.
Bruh runs like she's in heels? 60m in 10s? I'd broke my feet and fall flat on my face if I ever attempted that
These two ladies are adorable
Curb your Enthusiasm music cracked me up!
numbaoneg101 I was shook
For comparison Naomi Sedney has a PB of 7.30 over the 60m while Elis Ligtlee completes the circle in about 14 seconds from a flying start.
Oh, but through a flying start. It's probably higher with a standing start.
i had a 7.20 back in highschool so her 60 isnt that impressive
Tristam Usain bolt has a 6.31 in his 100 wr and mind that he is likely in last after in 60 metres in almost every pro race he ran. A 100 metre time has significance, I know 8th graders who beat asafa powells time in the olympic finals in London. Please understand that they are both remarkable.
Yes but the shoe not was same !
Cycling shoe very importend !
Yes but the shoe not was same ! Very importand cycling shoe !
You should do some pole vaulting đ it would be funny to see someone try
Both improved times ended with 9.43đ€
need to do a swap for tennis and badminton.
Freestyle skiing and freestyle snowboarding swap would be hilarious
Rythmic Gymnastics and Figure skating please đ
YES
Bielmann-spin challenge!
I guess that may take years to film.
Maybe with no object. You can't put a figure skater to dance with balls, ribbons or clubs.
Naomi (the sprinter) is cute.
This is great. Thank you.
Some of you people out here need to get off your high horse before you continue to bash the abilities and figures of these two athletes. Itâs not fair to criticize the other for not performing as well as a seasoned athlete in a discipline THEY ARENâT FAMILIAR WITH. Secondly, just because the cyclist has more body weight doesnât mean sheâs not as âfitâ as the runner or athletes in general. The bodily characteristics that are found in different disciplines vary greatly, the societal standard of âthin=better athleteâ is absurd. Letâs appreciate that these two women were kind enough to take the time to make this video, because I personally enjoy this series. Hopefully more people start to think before criticizing these two hard-working athletes. Much loveâ€ïž
She's fat, get over it.
You're a breath of fresh air in here Frances. Good god I'm sad at all the pricks in here.
BMX Racing vs Track Cycling would be a cool mix.
7:37 Directed by Robert B. Weide
I love this channel, great videos!
This was very enjoyable. With track being the only sporting event I still watch, it was interesting watching the athletes learn techniques to help them excel in other sports and learn how challenging it was until they received guidance. It was still hard, but they could push themselves harder. A great way to help build respect among the ranks. (Because, 'until you have walked a mile in each others shoes you don't know how challenging it really is'!)
I would love one of those Koga builds, love the color
Can you please do a sports swap that involves synchronized swimming!
Lily BlueCaster swimmers Vs synchro :p ;)
Synchronized swimming swapped with water polo.
This really makes me appreciate how specialized each are. Love it.
Shows how vastly different these sports are, really interesting! Makes a lot of sense as in cycling, you can increase the resistance by pushing a bigger gear, in sprinting though, you need agility and springiness because you can't do that.
With the speed of sound, being 60 metres away... Naomi was starting the stopwatch right when she says "go" so Elis was running under 10 seconds already
So interesting! I thought the leg muscles in running would help in biking more, and vice versa. I also think bc these are highly trained athletes, their skillset is very very focused and honed in, so trying to learn something new and in different forms can be challenging
So amazing that they're both only 22. What incredible accomplishments they've achieved in barely two decades. It's so impressive and humbling to watch two athletes of this level try the others sport and recognize the difficulties in each.
no. you are a soyboy
As a dutch person it's really weird to hear them speak english with each other lmao
I'd love to see swimmers switch with runners
eeeey Dutchies
The cycle girl has lots of experience and skills but the running girl let fear take over her thinking when she tried riding. Thanks.
Track Cycling girls are THICK đ„
should've done a side by side comparison of each of the two

Both are obviously very fit to achieve their respective success. Goed gedaan! It was nice to watch this switch.
Snooker vs bowling swap must be fun !!!
This was Epic and Funny. This was great. Lol. Thank you for this đđ€đ
"Go, go, go! En blijf trappen, als je klaar bent" ...I speak English, maar niet zo snel.
The sprinter got a really nice shoulder
7:46 lmao the change your meme themeđ
I wish we could have seen the athlete show us their time!
Did I here the curb meme music hahahaha
Do mo farah vs usain bolt
Mo = Beats him in 800M
Usain = Beats Mo in 100-200M
Krypto and 400
Running Boi it wouldnât be a huge difference bc every good runner even distance runners run sprints it would be pretty close until you get up to the 2 mile
Ashton Bean Sprinters can't run 2 miles, are you mad? At my club it's surprising if they do 1 mile in a training session (adding up all the 60s and 100s they do). Obviously a 400M sprinter is better than a 100M sprinter over a longer distance. But I can guarantee a sprinter wouldn't be near a distance athlete over 1 mile forget 2 miles.
They can obviously complete 2 miles. Those 60's and 100's are done at very high power output. On my track team EVERYONE does 3 mile warm ups and cool downs twice a week.
As someone who is terrified on a regular bike i really felt for Naomi
El maillot de Rabobank. Madre de Dios. Unos genios.đ
All this Olympians and here I am with a bag of chips
Thats one big track cyclist. But hey if she puts down the watts, leggo.
Any English speakers from the Netherlands here? Is the way she says "three and a half on the other side" at 6:20 a common pronunciation in Dutch English speakers? It almost sounded like she switched to an Irish English accent, very interesting!
Javelin throw and shot put?
Long distance skating trades decently with cycling, Canadian olympian Clara Hughes medalled in both.
they should do BMX vs track cycling
Look at how much they love Olympic. She even has a Olympic tattoo :)
@1:24 THAT HURT MY FEALINGS
hey! thats in the omnisport! i live like 5 mins from there lol
i adore this
Haha I thought it was written "RobABank" on Elis's left shoulder/arm :-P Hahahaha
Dutch athletes are just a beauty to watch male female win no win the way they are built is just dope and their tan skin and that orange dress code just make it more doper
hard to imagine a cyclist looks like a weight lifter. She is massive, in a good way for her sport of course.
Do long distance running vs sprinting or long distance against something
I raced in velodrome during the fifties and I couldn't sprint race but do the mile without a problem.
Elis is built like a tank,great physique
Brazil is present here too!đ§đ·đ§đ·đ§đ·đ§đ·đ§đ·
I train to do track n field(sprinter)but also compete in cycling,I sprint 60km+ on a mountain bike and 69km road bike ...
football and track are a great double, same with basketball and high jump
American football that is, its harder for an association football player.
Football players on average can jump higher and run faster than basketball players.
Wrestling and Pole Vaulting is also a great double.
Aaron Davis Basketball does not utilize much strength for anything but drives and far shots. If you want to see a sport that utilizes strength wrestling is definitely the number one sport. Basketball is more agility. Football is strength for linemen and agility for the other players.
OWW GOOD OLD TIMES , I USED TO BE THE STARTER CYCLYST IN THE TEAM SPRINT , MY BEST TIME IN 1 LAP WAS 18.90 SECS. ON 250METERS VELODROME
Iâm triggered that she didnât adjust her finger placement while she was in the blocks
Man, that was really hard to watch, no chemistry at all! :D
look at that wavering line
on a roller with a fixie - most seasoned cyclists would struggle with that
This was a cute lil video lmaoo
lovely athletes !
Haha its so fun to hear them speaking English đ
Guaranteed they can with proper training. They are already elites with high V02 Maxâs and know how to train properly.
Rodeo events vs dressage riders! That will be interesting hahaha
They forgot the 'showboat' part :-)
7:38 Curb your meme music
Can you do a swap between a shot putter and an archer.
My bet would be sprinter will do well on cycling but cyclist wonât sprint as fast... finally she was affraid of riding a bike... maybe guetting someone who wants to ride a bike is basic for that exercise...
The cyclist was SLAMMING the track at first. Sounds like a titan stomping through đ€Ł she greatly improved though
Are those track bikes fixies or geared but without brakes anyway?
6:58 Man those toned arms
so when exactly did those kneeproblems start for Elis Ligtlee?
For some reason, the cyclists reminds me of Mads Mikkelson đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Surprised the bicycle did not splinter into a thousand tiny pieces!
dude she didnt give her bike shoes tf, wearing adidas on a track bike
ć± ç¶æäžæććčïŒć性æźć„
The video is nice but I'd like to see them to get a bit more used to both disciplines. The cyclist that's running still has poor technique (arms' movement is still bad and she's still hitting the ground with his whole foot and not with his forefoot. On the other side, the runner that's cycling is clearly limited by her fear to fall. Even with a far from perfect technique I am sure that she can be much faster than that.
You could see the difrent by their arm
She did 21.6km/h, as far as I know that's impressive for a "beginner"
my mother cycles faster than that to the shops and she's 69 years old, it's not impressive at all!
I love the body form of track cyclists
People can say whatever they want .... body-shame her ... analyze her ... compare here to other people ... SHE HAS A F**%#* Gold Olympic medal, so people need to sit in a corner and shut up! And I think her body is perfection and looks healthy !
