She said Americans find it weird.

These sports aren't popular anywhere.

Well iam German and i think race walking is the most retarded thing ive ever seen!

handball is pretty popular in europe

lol, is baseball olympic?

But who would care if you sucked at handball?

Every country except the US. The United States isn't the center of the world.

yes it is

fuck off man you're weird

+Max Feikss EVERY COUNTRY BELONGS TO AMERICA!

For Americans everything is weird except the games in which they participate.

@@saikatdominicgregory9157 and when we say American football is weird they'll show surprise pikachu face

@@samoptimus4228 in the game they neither use their "foot" nor do they use a "ball", and they call it American Football. Oh wait, American as term contradicts everything just like the American Afghan relations.

@@saikatdominicgregory9157 i call it handegg tbf

Americans 😒

Its like an olympic adaptation of millitary training, that's why is called modern pentathlon.

yeah, it's very exciting to watch, especially the show jumping part, the horses are unpredictable

We already have that sport

It’s lame

happyflea Bravo!

Except race walking.

@@riftvallance2087 lol..its not weird..

@@power279 it is lmao, cheating there is so normal that only like obvious ones get sacked, the whole thing should be sacked

Spot on

You only truly realize how hard it is when you watch a waterpolo force like Serbia or Hungary play a novice nation. Those other guys aren't able to get anywhere near their opponent's goal, let alone launch an attack.

@@SerbAtheist i've been on a trainingcamp to hungary.. those kids are living for waterpolo. They straight up went for a solo training session in between classes. Thinking about this makes me miss waterpolo so much

@@emielhasselt2518 yeah its their national sport

Also trampoline

Yeah I wouldn’t really say it’s that weird either but more just pointless cuz we already have shotput and discus. Why do we need all these other throwing events when they’re all based on strength and some variation of a similar technique

@@diegoadams9652 Well hammer throwing goes back at least 500 years and it's a combination of strength, speed and technique. Why do we need any sports at all? It's a game that some people like to play and other people like to watch.

@@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy no it’s not 🤣 it’s for the people who couldn’t be a real athlete

The world*

we actually played handball in our school, we really enjoyed it

Curling is awesome

It was about the summer Olympics

Usa be like "we don't like soo... Any country in the earth don't like too"

yeah, but it's also a chance for us stuff all the most competitive competitions of the year in a 2 week period every 4 year...just barley enough to make people running around a circle and people cyaking competitively.

Says someone with a running pfp lol

@@westsidechalino Yes?

It’s not respectable at all lmao it’s literally just a (almost) 2 mile run with a couple jumps and water out of nowhere

@@diegoadams9652 Ye moving at well below 5 minute mile pace while jumping over barriers that disrupt speed isn't hard at all.

@@westsidechalino callate güey

To both of them i guess Its hard to train a horse, needs a lot of patience and mental endurance.

The rider gets a medal, the horse a matching ribbon. Even though only the rider fits onto the podium they are seen as one team/unit and get to go around the arena in a winners circuit (I think that's what it's called in english?) as part of the victory ceremony. I hope that answers your question! Unless this was a joke and it flew right past me

Fine Wine Daily And plus, Race walking is one of the most hard event from Athletics. The event have rules and physical hardship

Whoa have you ever ridden dressage?? It takes so much coordination, timing, balance, and feel. You are right its not a brute strength or cardio based activity but it requires finesse and an obscene amounts of body control.

How the only rule is keep for feet on ground at all times

@@darkness1978 exactly like who tf wants to watch or do that just go to a running event

​@@diegoadams9652 people choose to racewalk over running because it's based about technique and some people are naturally really good at it.

Like walking, horse riding, and steeplechase?

they are mostly no skill events.

@@robertbb1683 I think most of them require skill (tough to argue that water polo, for instance, requires no skill, or that *any* of the modern pentathlon events would be considered weird, though calling 19th-century cavalrymen's skills "modern" might be a bit of a stretch at this point).

@Ian Willis the point that this channel is retarded?

As an equestrian I can say yes, definitely. Although I don't know if it's the same for the other parts, but I guess so. The showjumping portion has been subject to many debates in the horse riding world as the rules of the modern pentathlon completely disregard the horses wellbeing, which should always be the top priority. Furthermore pentathletes apparently start very late with their horseriding practice, which shows in their lackluster horseriding skills overall. Many equestrians consider even the performances shown in Olympic events to be a disgrace to the horseriding world, it's that bad. Though pentathletes are no doubt good athletes and I don't doubt their abilities in the other 4 disciplines, they are no equestrians, not by a long shot. So yeah, if you're watching the modern pentathlon, please remember that it is in no way representative of showjumpers or any other equestrian sport.

And kayaks?! Seriously?!

In mother greenland kayak row you

because americans are bad at it

FYI Americans aren't bad at water polo. The women just won the gold. (Also I'm American and I don't consider water polo to be weird) I also wouldn't say that the Americans are bad at handball, they (we) literally just don't give two shits about it. That looks like a college sport to us. That's one level above table tennis and badminton, which we view as basement and BBQ backyard games respectively. I think the Americans would win a medal at handball if they cared about it whatsoever.

m8 it's just banter

The only thing weird abt American football is the name, it’s kinda like rugby but organized into downs

It’s not super expensive, but there aren’t many clubs in North America

In competitions horses get assigned to competitors at random. You do not know the horse you compete with until 20 minutes before the test.

Either you did this or you wished you had or you've got no sense of adventure.

you get medals for it tho and more than one compete

We have to wait for a country that has a large cricket fanbase (excluding the uk) to host the Olympics, just like baseball and japan

@@InvagPrune Australia!

How is bobsledding weird? Everyone knows what that is

Bro look at the legs wobbling around lol its weird asf but very entertaining

It's really is weird, they look like a bunch of synchronised tentacles

@@Alucard-gt1zf hahaha, you wanna grab one of them thick ones

It's not horseracing, it's showjumping. Which is a pretty popular equestrian sport around the world. From the size of the hurdles it looks like this might be taken from the showjumping portion of eventing (also known as three day events), a category where the horse/rider teams compete in all three main equestrian categories over the course of 3 days. It's by far the most training intensive equestrian sport, though all of them require a lot of skill and training to master. I'm honestly surprised the people that made this list chose dressage riding as the "weirdest" of all the equestrian categories, but I suppose when you call it "Dancing Horses" it does sound rather odd haha

that's what I say when the instructor tells me to stop running near the pool. 'it's racewalking'

Jared Williams It’s not funny 🙄 respect if you don’t like
