    This series was one of the best you guys have ever done. Everyone vibed really well, looked like they had fun, respected each other, and I learned that water sports athletes stamina is INSANE.
  • @ma_kal
    I know they have been doing this for years but I am still in awe of how they are easily treading the water.
  • @jmzrule54
    this match-up is so good !! the energy between both teams is so supportive and got me really sad to not see the water polo players play this year
  • @SPadventurOUS
    I love these! Also the polo player getting apologized to for the scratching did a good job not laughing hysterically 😅 and the apologizer was very sweet
  • @miavergari1631
    Ashley is my my IDOL I started playing goal solely because of her she's INCREDIBLE
  • Ballet dancers try to keep up with competitive cheer, that’s like the two opposites
  • @carmelyn
    My biceps hurt just watching 😅 props to all the athletes out there!! It’s awesome to see y’all so dedicated to your sport :)
  • @emilypresleysee
    I love the mutual respect and humility between these ladies!!
  • I love the way they don’t even notice they’re constantly treading water (or stop). They all just chat away without ever putting their feet down. And the water polo players have the most awesome bodies. Almost makes me want to play water polo! (Synchronised swimming is too hard lol)

    I love Ashleigh! She's so smiley, passionate, sassy and a great teacher! (Everyone was super cool though. Loved this episode!)
  • @luckoflucien
    I realized that I’m watching this video on the day the US women’s water polo team wins its third straight gold medal at the Tokyo olympics!! And the NYT article about the win features of photo of Ashleigh with a caption saying she’s “considered the best (WP goalie) in the world”! Love to see it, and love seeing how nicely everyone gets along in this video. So much mutual respect.

    When you binged through all the episodes and finally caught up...

    I don’t know how you get your hair in those caps. I only swam in PE lessons and I could never figure out how to get all my hair in there without it coming off! Ps please do rugby players and American football players :)

    The golie is my favorite, she loves her sport, liked her comments and she's awesome at thid like her teammates.
  • @eddierich6179
    When the first shot one of the synchro girls took was almost a skipshot, I was SHOOK 😂
  • @thethief7770
    Wrestlers try to keep up with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I trained Jiu-Jitsu for almost 8 years and was invited to train with wrestlers a few times. They're both ground based combat sport but with very different rules and techniques. It feels super goofy and against muscle memory to try to conform to something so similar but so different.
  • @abrick7016
    Personally I would love to see bmx vs downhill mountain biking
  • @jchen8902
    Badminton and tennis! As a badminton player with a very disappointed tennis playing father, it'll be cool to see how they match up.
