The two athletes embraced their competitive sides by arm wrestling on Sunday, after the women’s team won their game against Brazil. Jason stopped by the team’s locker room, where Nicole challenged him to an arm wrestling competition.
“Are we ready?” someone said while recording a video of the two athletes. “3,2,1…”
“He’s gonna cheat!” Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, exclaimed.
She wasn’t wrong — Jason held tightly to the table while attempting to overpower Nicole. While he was the first to get his arm down on the table, many contemplate whether it was a true win or not, given the cheating involved.
Nicole shared the hilarious, wholesome video on her Instagram yesterday.
“Challenged Jason Kelce to an arm wrestle,” she wrote over the clip.

In the video, you can see Jason firmly grasping the corner of the table so he can put forth more strength.
“Holding on to that table a little bit?” Nicole wrote in the caption of the video.
“Holding onto something with your off-hand is completely within the rules of the International Federation of Arm Wrestling,” Jason commented.
“I tried to warn you!” Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, added in the comments.
Others commented how happy they were to see Jason supporting women’s rugby.
“I thought it was cool he was supporting field hockey. THAT DOESN’T HOLD A CANDLE TO THIS! I hope he mentions this on the podcast when it resumes,” one person wrote.
The Instagram account for New Heights podcast also reposted the video, captioning it: “If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying 😂 … thanks for letting him win @nicole406heavirland.”
Another hilarious anecdote from the day was Jason’s beret, which he wore with his red, white, and blue outfit. Along with his clothing, Jason’s competitiveness contributed to the Olympic spirit.
