I hope you all enjoy, this was so fun to make! Comment who you think won this challenge 💪🏼

I love the sounds of disgust each time the other person manages to get further, especially the shoulder one lol

[consciousbeing]

Feels like gymnastics is all about pain

[kbrown]

I think you tied. Sophia won flexibility, Ian won strength, and you all tied on the twists so that's a tie overall. Great job and fun video!

[giatomcat]

Good sportsmanship is the winner here. Both were cheering each other on. And these two have really good chemistry.

The results make sense because women's gymnastics focuses more on leg and back flexibility (beam leaps/choreography), whereas men's gymnastics focuses much more on strength and shoulder flexibility (rings/parallel bars). So I always expect a female gymnast to have more leg and back flexibility, and the male gymnast to have more upper body strength and shoulder flexibility. The acrobatic elements can go either way. Traditional thinking suggests that men have an advantage here because the sport requires more difficult elements to train on vault and floor. However, Simone Biles has been systematically destroying this theory for years. People like Jake Jarman and Kenzo Shirai are anomalies. So I agree that this is likely to end in a tie and I'm glad it did. Very entertaining.

She’s skilled at women’s gymnastics discipline, he’s skilled at men’s gymnastics discipline. With their powers combined they can…probably put on a stellar dance number honestly

[kjgammon]

Impossible to declare a winner in that competition.... both very talented flexible and strong as well as being beautiful and gracious!

20yrs dance teacher here. The wall split is massively less pressure on joints that only bend one way (your knees.)

That was so much fun to watch! It’s amazing to see some of the skills that are used in gymnastics. You really challenge yourselves and push your physical limits in very entertaining ways. 😅

[CairnOwl]

Definitely brings a whole new meaning to "no pain, no gain!" Kudos to the three of you!

[racingintherains]

I love this competition, really highlights the difference between male and female gymnastics disciplines. Also - really really good sporting when she was trying the parallel bar tricks! Super responsive and reassuring spots that didn’t take away from her strength display! I’m honestly impressed with the both of your efforts at the other side of the sport, well done!

[CAZamianSliger]

You are all the best gym dorks. Love it. 😊

[jmg]

I've seen Sophia's channel before, and she's really talented! I'd love to see her back on your channel in the future.

[baseballfan]

Amazing Ian! You are so talented and you are an absolute beast! Love these long form videos and challenges!

[sophiacampanagymnast]

Idk which part hurt the most to watch 😳😂 also I vote for a REMATCH TWISTING CHALLENGE we need to settle this once and for all😎

[ultigirlinCO]

The toes on point made me subscribe. That’s a swimmer stretch as well, and it's so brutal.

[bethbarr]

Just watching Ian pop his shoulders out of socket makes my arms hurt just watching there is no way I would ever even try that and walking on your feet bent like that hurts thinking about it too great job Sophialand on that one for real.

At the end around the 15:00 mark, does anyone else notice the girl in the back bouncing on a snowboard?
