Although Jason Kelce has left the NFL, he still managed to score his own «victory» against Olympic champion Nicole Heverland in an arm wrestling match.
On Sunday, July 28, the 29-year-old rugby player posted a video on Instagram showing her arm wrestling with the 36-year-old former Philadelphia Eagles center.
With her American teammates, they put in a lot of effort, but the match ended in Jason’s victory. The caption read: «@jason.kelce holding on to the table a little bit?»
In the video, Jason is seen holding onto the edge of the table, which Nicole acknowledged as cheating. In the comments, Kelce’s older brother defended his victory, saying: «Holding onto something with the second hand is fully in line with the rules of the International Arm Wrestling Federation».
Even his wife Kylie joined in the playful banter, saying: «I tried to warn you!»
This year marked Nicole’s second Olympic Games, as she previously competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games, where she placed sixth with the US women’s rugby team. In Paris, they started strong, defeating both Japan and Brazil.
The Kelce family showed their support at the game in their Parisian outfits. Jason wore a dark blue beret and a white t-shirt with the inscription «Team USA Paris», - while Kylie chose a blue and white striped loose shirt with white pants. They posed together with members of the US women’s rugby team — Nicole, Kate Zachary, Maya Bazer, Kristen Thomas, and Casey MacRae — in a photo posted on the team’s official account. They captioned the post on Instagram: «Just a flock of eagles».
Jason even shared his excitement about the team in a video posted by the team on Instagram, saying: «I'm officially a fan… Women’s rugby at the Olympics».
The Kelce’s love for sports is undeniable. Jason told the Associated Press: «When we found out we had the opportunity to go there, the more we thought about it, the more we realized, 'let's take advantage of this now while we can'… We love sports, we love competition, we love global events. It’s such a unique place where the whole world can come together and unite through competition and sports»
