You don't need that much cynicism to be a journalist, just respect the sport and those people who are in the sport.

[@HenryNehring]

yeah they were very rude and condescending it felt

[@oxygenashvili_]

Journalist being disrespectful as always

[@k1rito228]

Glad to see armwrestling getting more popular

[@ArmoredG]

Armwrestling has always been popular, but yea it's just getting better. Lets go ENGIN TERZI and others raising this sport

[@k1rito228]

@@ArmoredG Yeah Engin, Devon, Levan and also others made this sport last years more popular over the world

[@FreddySanchezAW]

why do they act like its a joke. wack. They have no idea what it takes.

[@CambrelCallahan07]

“Absolutely no disrespect” then disrespects the sport

[@carpenterjim7906]

It's one thing to be ignorant about a subject that you are going to do an interview on, and another is to be annoyingly cinical and borderline rude. I wish Levan entered the studio while they were laughing...

[@hugohoeglund1424]

😂 It's great to have him represent the peak of the sport

[@ArtusMagnificus3_2_1]

It would've smell really bad afterwards (for those who won't get the joke: they'd shid their fukcing pants)

[@d_no_allyn_86]

Loved this comment. Dude, now that would be amazing! And especially if they had like three or four people try to pull him over and then bring in like a massive bodybuilder and have levan just Stonewall him! Then, they are just flabbergasted!

[@bullinvginshop9011]

Yeah but how much mass would Levan drop to be “eligible” for the Olympics.

It's great sport, i hope it gets more attention

[@AMF96]

YES!!!! Arm wrestling should most certainly be in the Olympics! My favorite sport above any other sport! 👍

[@nickbregadze9021]

Journalist being disrespectful and ignorant. Armwrestling is a unique sport and it should be respected.

[@dinoj374]

It's very sad that people don't understand what arm wrestling really is. They make fun of it and do not understand the complexity of the sport.

[@bobevans5282]

Levan - this does put smile on my face

[@champion344]

Meanwhile Doping test - whole chemistry lab😂

[@SubhankarTheArmwrestler]

Yes it should be in Olympic as this game is one of the oldest game in world.. Devon brought this game this far.. He is the only one Master!

[@Mattaxal]

The interviewers wouldnt have acted like this if Levan or Devon were there.

[@dudusplx]

what a joke for these people to be called journalists, such disrespect, typical of Americans who won't look past their backyards

[@ArtusMagnificus3_2_1]

Their reactions in a condescending way and the constant are you serious question just shows how little they know about the sport of armwrestling and the amount of skill necessary to compete in it, hopefully soon everyone will know about it at the level that it deserves.
And in my personal opinion one of the best and least injury heavy sport to ever exist, also the most badass / coolest, let's be honest.

[@Thor_Asgard_]

It should be. what an amazing sport

[@jacobhayden2824]

Arm wrestling is as old as the Pyramids.

Absolutely

[@WoePetersen]

No wonder nobody watches this show.

As long as it doesn't replace beach volleyball.

[@arslan5951t]

Arm wrestling is more manly than something like beach volley in which your just play with a ball like kids

[@kae12.]

​@@arslan5951t You don't get the joke. And why "manly"? There are so many elite women armwrestlers can beat both of us easily. This has nothing to do with it being "manly".

Arm wrestling is huge in Europe, its epitomizes the history of the Olympics and should absolutely be in the Olympics.

If armwrestling became an Olympic sport it would bring more attention to EvW and KOTT so that would be cool and it would be kinda funny to see oxiginashvili get an Olympic medal

She's a journalist , that is her job. Quite literally. At least be open minded.

@@olivierdevries6543 I think she did later on in that interview, but she was skeptical at first. She should have remained open minded the whole time yes, but Armwrestling has really only recently gotten bigger. In her era, Armwrestling was just in cafeteria.

As a member of armwresling community for almost a decade. Absolutely not. It does not belong in the olympics

I will definitely be on the Olympic team, im the only one who can pass a drug test 🥲
