Male vs. Female Gymnastics Challenge! 🤸🏼‍♂️ (Ft. Sophialand) 

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

Feels like gymnastics is all about pain

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

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!

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.

Their chemistry was so good!!

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

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

"I'm smiling, but yes it hurts"

"I got the dog in me" 😂

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

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. 😅

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.

1:26 -Alright, but be gentle... Dont worry, I'm always gentle🫠 -AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

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😎

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

2:51 THAT FLIP THO 😮

the flirtatious energy is unmatched

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

you both traumatising each other is hilarous

As long as you’re having fun you’re both winners.

You need to get @MovementbyDavid into the gym with you he would crush most of these challenges!

i watch your shorts all the time, and you and all your friends have such amazing and shining personalities. this is the first long video i’ve watched of yours and i was genuinely so surprised how much more your personality shines (even though that probably sounds really stupid)

I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL TODAY IAN MADE FULL LENGTH VIDEOS OR ID BE A FREQUENT VIEWER SO I WILL BE WATCHING NOW

I really appreciate you two for wearing socks in this video, most of the time when you see online content about Gymnastics, people are often practicing bare feet thinking they are the only ones practicing there.

What’s stunning is how much of gymnastics relies on the constant adaptability and growth of the athlete… I mean, granted, I’m not super athletic, so maybe I’m just underestimating other sports, but it seems like for the most part, other sports go along the lines of: get strong, learn to do your job, stay strong, get as good as you can at a job that stays roughly the same throughout your career. Whereas gymnastics, it’s like “okay… I’m strong, and I’m good at this set of skills… now let’s spend my entire career constantly learning more and more things to do the job… and only really stop (or just slow down) if/when my body can’t take it any more” 😂 👏 the endurance through it all, and the crazy stuff you guys can continuously learn to do with your bodies is mind blowing to me. Great video! ❤

You left him shocked and speechless at the end 😂

I think Ian won. You two have a nice friendship.

I find it weird how women's and men's gymnastics aren't just women and men doing gymnastics, they're basically different sports. And women's gymnastics conceptually interests me far more, and though I don't do gymnastics anyway I wonder how annoying it would be if I wanted to the _women's_ kind of gymnastics but was made to do the _men's_ kind, or the other way around.

Sleeping in a middle split?! That’s insane!!

I’ll be impressed if male gymnast wears the same attire as female gymnast during performance.

I love her laugh!

Pretty sure you are both winners!

GUNTHY! Go all out for the 2024 Olympics you can do it and you want to. Just get in the gym upgrade your routines focus you can do it

this is the first real collab and it was awesome i loved this video.

I like how he’s cheering her on at the end.

No gymnast is an island, all are equal in competition.

9:17 Bro looked like he was enjoying that 🤨🤨

Congratulations on passing over 1 million subscribers!

Ian big brothered the support on rings. I'm sure he can hold that pike support for 30+ seconds

I used to do gymnastics for 4 years but then i stopped cuz my body was just hurting

This really shows how sweat a guy you are Ian ! So humble

Love these long vedioes Ian.. keep making more 😊

It's videos like these that made me subscribe. 😂 You guys are so much fun to watch, always entertaining, and hilarious! I couldn't stop cracking up during this video!

Have you ever noticed that most gymnasts that have their splits often had their splits or were close the very first time they tried? Thats my experience when I coached gymnastics.

Visually Sophia twisted faster with less height. But not sure.

Gymnasts smile through the pain

U haven't checked anna mcnultys wall splits then. Plz do a collab with her

It’s great to see a girl vs boy challenge that’s not just a girl dominating with flexibility *cough Jack Payne cough*

“Sleep in a middle split.” This guy yin yogas! 🤣 (And on a related note, I just discovered last night that weighted blankets are GREAT tools for training flexibility moves…)

You should Anna mcnulty to a flexibility challenge her wall splits are to the ground

Enjoyed the video!! You both are so talented!! ❤️

The pained noises in the middle split is so real

Is no one gunna talk about how cute that are together❤❤

I am on a color guard team (kinda a mix of dance and gymnastics and equipment stuff) and we do the exact same thing of going through a video frame by frame to count rotations lol

During planche she reminded me of Khoi young for the “like a man” then the buff one for Asher. No offense to them but that was funny.

The popping of his shoulders was audible 🥴

Love this! Fun to watch and lots of funny moments

Okay. Be real here, Ian has to be double jointed in his shoulders. I was seriously afraid Sophia was going to dislocate her shoulders…

Off topic but applause for the editing, had me cracking up 😅🤣😂

I would walk on my toes like that all the time now I can run on them and jump

I couldnt even do that in my dreams! 🤣🤣🤣

Gymnasts and ballet dancers terrify me.

2:33 how to dislocate both of your arms in the same time 😂😂😂😂

As a gymnast who trains 6 hours a week I can approve that gymnastics is one hell of a sport!

Ohmigawsh @sophialandgymnastics - I only just realized you are S Campana of the Italian National team!!! Prima d'ora ti ho sentito parlare solo in Italiano!! I forgot you were American lol 🤯🤩🥰 (LOVED seeing the Sophia Campana Cup btw, very impressed!) 💖

Ian wins cause he was twisting forwards, imo. Also he tried everything with full commitment.

The “hehe” 😂

I’m an acro gymnast and that shoulder pop still disgusts and amazes me 😅

6:59 try doing this but your whole foot is flat in the ground I believe that's more harder than doing this and doing a tip toe

He's a gymnast, he should be able to perform a split.

he is so funny 😂 and he is pretty talented in bars❤

4:25 we do it as dancers too! we walk like this around our houses)

Everybody wins.

Skin the cats were really normal when I was a gymnast, but we didn’t use the reverse grip. We did go through and back though

I did this back roll on the bar at the beginning of the film every day on the playground when I was a child, from the age of 8 to, you could say, 13 years old.

Gymnasts (n.) -an athlete with the uncanny capability of defying gravity.

Sophia had to have done ballet at some pointe 😅

ya'll impress the hell outta me.

Ok i actually started following Sophia from her videos with an Italian youtuber i follow. This is amazing 🤣🤣

I actually used to sleep in a spilt 😭

😂 I have spent years trying to gain flexibility. I've gotten better but still can't get the oversight.

my tendons.... my ligaments.... my muscles it hurts so bad

Bro the toe thing was so hard to watch as a ballerina we do that daily and we even have pointe shoes made for that-

Back when I was in middle school and full of misplaced confidence, I thought I could do a front flip off a springboard, since I could do a rollie pollie on the floor and figured it was exactly the same. I ran up and did the forward flip. Or I tried to because my knees clocked me in the head and knocked my glasses off, and then I near landed on my head (albeit on the mat) and nearly gave myself a concussion Let's just say the PE teacher had an eye on me for the rest of the year and banned me from forward flipping unless on the floor

Thats a tie. When is round 2?

this just looks painful... keep it up

He won 🏆.

In shoulder stretch my arms goes flat elbow to wrist lol

How come you guys have the same socks?

I can walk on my toes like that and run and jump!!

U should do a tutorial how to do shoulder thing

i know basically nothing about gymnastics - in the twist challenge, why does ian start further from the foam and move forward vs. sophia starting right next to the foam? is it because they are different weights and the trampoline is different tensions at different spots or something?
