Experience the Grittier Side of Tug of War

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2016
- Tug of war is a real sport. And it’s hard. Once upon of time it was an official Olympic event, before it got cut for budget reasons. Today, a dedicated group of athletes still train and compete in the gritty sport on a global level. This isn’t the tug of war of your summer camp days.

@@angelozero106 it actually happened once holy shit
Raphael my school did tug o war but they had the worst rope known to man
My hands were burning for a hour
It was so rough
This actually would make a good Olympic sport.
Cameron J it was in the ancient times.
Braselton94 :( I wanted too tell him dat.
JBomb 90 lol sorry.
It was an Olympic sport in 1920
Cameron J

wait, how can tug of war be cut for budget reason? you literally only need a rope
He doesn't mean that it was more expensive than other sports. The Olympics can only host a finite number of sports. Obviously Tug of War was cut in favor of other sports.
And to pay the people pulling
You also need a pulley system
🤣😂🤣🤣 good point.
@@quinnjitsu1261 thats only like 200-300 dollars or less
*Flashbacks to field day in grade school*
DSU Beats honestly 💀
So true lol
**PTSD**
I did not do anything.. but i wasnt the one who made the whole team lose.. 🤣
💀💀💀
I wish to see that on the olympics
Hell yeah!
I think it was once
Same
Benjamin Kleiner Not as bad as speed walking
Benjamin Kleiner I feel but so as canoeing. I mean for me it's a summer thing..that normal people could.
"I've been pulling ever since" 😂😂
Florida bassin' 352 i read this right when i heard him say it
p h y s i c a l-p a i n ya
Pull out game strong
Bichael from Bsauce same here 😂😂😂
bro I laughed hard af too when he said it🤣🤣🤣
“A game played a high school”
I thought we only played tug-o-war in field day in elementary school wtf
Same that was what I was thinking.
We did it in elementary
In my freshman year we used to play tug-o-war against the varsity team and JV football
You mean super kids day? Shit was live asf in elementary
We do these are adult children
“It takes the highest caliber of athlete”
“I got started when I was drunk”
lol. I talk shit, 100% of these dudes would destroy me.
Lies again? Hello TUSHY
I think Tug of War is a sport that represents humanity quite well; we have strength in numbers and it shows off individual endurance.

H
Wow, u so so insightful
i would hit like but its just at 420, right where i like it.
literally everything in the world has strength in numbers lol..
DJ Programer I
and yet race walking and handball are still a sports
What's wrong with handball now lol?
Eli Doubleday like the handball with soccer-like goals and shit? Thats literally just short people basketball, Wtf is wrong with it?
luchadorito Have you ever played a game of handball, or even watches it?
Morris : haven’t played but watched a lot a few years ago. Why?
Handball isn't that bad
If Curling is in the Olympics, then this deserves it too.
Curling is just sweeping practice
@@ograkthemonkeyhunter2743 curling is practice for janitors
Give curling some credit it’s ice bowling tug of war is just pulling a rope
morelli tech llolll yes so true
@@ograkthemonkeyhunter2743 I sure got that, my mom can attest.
i'll rather watch this than a walking marathon
tbh I agree with everyone else in the comments, I rather watch this then a lot of the sports in the olympics. It's just entertaining and gritty and looks pretty fun, let's get this in the olympics, I would watch it.
"Only top athletes" *show 8 old men pulling a rope*
🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
David Moala they could probably beat anybody you know
Ethan Fowler cool. They couldn't beat ronaldo 1v1 at football
devait We're not talking about Football dumbass
Allix Nah they don't. It's only like the most popular sport in the whole world.
Them: What’s your favorite sport?
Me: Remember elementary school?
I mean better than curling...
Corroder yes
No
I fucking love curling. It's sad so many people don't understand the sport
@@qwertpoiuy430 I know, it's actually really fun.
qwertpoiuy430 heh I like it, it is just very Olympicy :D
The 2nd grade teachers : okay kids its okay if you lose your all winners here its just a game
The whole school 0:16
The videos from this channel are always so well made and intriguing!!
I had match a couple of years ago, at a fair; my family against our friends family. It was a brutal workout and I really developed an appreciation for the sport. It's such a simple and elegant representation of sport.
I keep coming back to this video from time to time , it's just so interesting.
Why am I watching this at 12 o’clock on a school night?
The god that’s the most white thing I’ve ever heard
Her: what do you do for a living?
Him: I'm a professional Tug of war player
Her: 🚪🚶♀️
1:01
Me when my sister had all the bed sheets.
jungkook's lollipop funny but why do u sleep with your sister ???..
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
@@subscriberswithnoVideo-od9uz 'cause incest is wincest.
lmao op could be a girl stop assuming
@@flighted2513 Oh, so two girls can't have sex?
They can, but that's like two gay boys who are brothers having sex with one another. Stop trying to twist the meaning
"i've been pulling ever since" same here bro
And some say there still pulling till this day
they're*
Yea no one says that
@@KitChen5548 Oof...I guess I'm a year too late.
@@marcom5251 r\wooosh
gets flashbacks of P.E
I now have PTSD
PESD
I pull with Lincoln tug of war club from England and I must say that this sport is an all body sport, there is no rest during and little in between, stamina, endurance and strength! It is the will to not give up 💪
“I’ve been pulling ever since”
Lol
Top athletes only. I got into tung of war while I was drunk
"You might be the strongest person in the world, but if your head isn’t in it, you won’t get anywhere"
I beg to differ.
Your pic goes so well with this
I would love to see Tug of War in the olympics too!! It'll be super entertaining to see which country has the best team work and is the strongest!
Very interesting. A lot of heart from this guy :)
How much you wanna bet they all have a hernia
When i played this in elementary the girls would always shred the dudes
That's sad. Lmao!!
TheReal Doge Total opposite for me. The boys would normally shred the girls in about 5-15 seconds
Girls hit puberty before boys making them bigger and stronger than boys in elementary school
Same with me!
Watching this made me tense up
Ooh man they are Old !!
loved it
Honestly, I would watch this if it come on the Olympics.
Next episode: Competitive guide to Hopscotch
Tug of War is no joke and the injuries can be brutal.
I was at a Highland Games when I was little and they had all the professional competitors square off against a bunch festival-goers in a match. We're talking like 50 men a side. One guy on the festival side had the brilliant idea of wrapping the rope around his forearm, despite being explicitly told not to do that. As the match went on, the competitor side was clearly winning and they decided to end it with one mighty pull and just ran with it. They pulled so hard, most of the festival team fell over and the dude with the rope around his arm had his hard completely torn off.
Man I'm going to miss this channel
This reminds me of the good old days when there was 3 boys and 10 girls on a team and the boys would still win
Hahaha
Most True Wisconsin thing said “ I got involved in tug of war when I was drunk”
We Indians r with u! U're doing a great job by trying to get this sport back in the olympics. I'm a huge fan of tug of war, and my team won the tug of war competition school today. All the best.
dope! This is a real art
This would be extremely entertaining in the olympics
"you could be the strongest man in the world but if your head isnt in it you will lose."
*world champion strong men pulling trucks has entered the chat*
I love watching tug of war. It’s so intense and you never know who’s going to win.
super intense pulling, one guy slips, they all stop. Good job guys
those hairy ears...dear god...smh
Cons Piracy why are you shaking your head?
so thats what smh means
Cons Piracy u must be very aware of your body since you tend to look at other people’s features 🧐😜
Don't you relive humans are animals too? and it probably impossible to shave their too🤣
@@pollotenders5329 I mean u have to be u don’t wanna look like a damn caveman going out
Hands: hurt
Muscles: tired
Tug: war
Hotel: Trivago
You guys should do something on rugby next! That would be great
I’m not one to take tug o war serious but I respect their passion for it ✊🏿
Isn’t this literally the game you play at your buddy’s birthday party😂
Damn, Imagine How Big Their Rope Burns Are....
Awesome love it
Keep er goin’!
ESPORTS:I am going to be in the olympics !!!!!
TUG OF WAR: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
Omg rip those hands
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS IN THE OLYMPICS!!!
Tug Of War is very intense when you play against friends it’s not just a victory
*Its bragging rights and being able to push your friends whenever you want*
0:19: My Word document when i accidentally turn italic on
Hah
Lol
Imagine this as an anime, I would watch that.
Ur a fuckin nerd
Hell yes. Is there a site or organization to bringing tug of war back in the Olympics?
Need this in the olympics. All the strong man countries and Olympic weightlifting countries would be fantastic competition.
Hi billy mayes here with...
Not many schools play tug o war
Oh Wow. Now I Love Tug A War Even More! 💛
I would love to see some NFL Defensive Tackles and the best Tug of War player face off.
Petition to make tug o war an Olympic sport again
👇🏻
No
Who the hell played this in high school?
pastyEH420 You obviously werent born in their times.
I would be excited to watch this event in the Olympics
Out of all the sports int he olympics tug of war looks fun to watch
Who would win?
World's best tug team
World's eight fattest lads
Tug team team EZ
pffft thats nothing compared to tug o' war from Mario Party 2 or 3 on the N64
the aura this sport emits is both humorous but so menacing
It’s such a straight-forward, rugged, gritty sport. It’d be badass to watch.
I guess... oh yeah yeah
Epic
One way to
Dig dirt
This would awesome to watch in the Olympics
Thank God we have this man out there representing America in Tug of War. What would we do without him.
These people obviously haven’t seen Squid Games
Omg white people got me dying 😂😂😂
I remember the first time I tugged on my rope, I've been hooked ever since
Pull game on point👌🏼😂
actually your heart is the strongest muscle in your body
RocksDa RS it's a organ not muscle
Julian Montes its a muscular organ...for all the kids and unaware people I really hope that you’re no older than six
next up in the olympics: who can stand the biggest heartbreak by getting turned down by your crush
seems legit
Its your eyes
D stfu
who else came here after squid game?
I can’t wait to see this in Olympics
I live in here in Brooklyn Wisconsin and I’ve never heard of this
What he meant by top-athletes is actually quite right, the stamina needed in toutrek (tug of war) is unbelievable...
SO STOP BITCHING ABOUT THE OVER-WEIGHT MEN!! It’s not all-muscle.
-Endurance is key
Actually your tounge is the strongest muscle in your body
1UP Milk in comparison to it's mass but not to the major muscle groups like the hamstring and quadroceps
Scrublord oh got it thanks
1UP Milk for once an actual civilised conversation in the youtube comments :)
Just ask my wife
actually its your jaw muscles not the tounge
Idk why but in our school when we play tug of war the players are on a zig zag formation (first player on the left side second player on the right side and so on)
Murica! Heeaalll yeah brother@
Instead of thug life, it could be: tug life...
"Top athletes in the countries". Which "countries", did you mean country...
Bring it back
That’s pretty cool how they film in a small ass town in a not so popular state. Brooklyn is probably 40 miles from me so that’s pretty neat
I said TOP. ATHLETES.
They have fucking "women's water polo" in the Olympics, but they don't have this? WTF!?
lol
Shwepsyness what’s water polo?
KSI NINJAH Google it.
Why the emphasis on women's??
Brumsly Brumbino you have offended the internet again.
I remember we were playing tug of was in school, it was a competition from grade 7-12 and we were in the finals. And we wanted to win, so we had three rounds and the first round we lost, the second round we won. So it was a tie, and we actually almost won, but the boys at the back which were the strongest got cocky and let go. So we lost, and to this day, I am determined to win next years competition. I may be small, but we almost won, as a team. And we ain't gonna back down so easily, I promise you on that, I even bet on it.
