Helen Maroulis: Girls Can't Wrestle Ep. 1

People have doubted Helen Maroulis her entire life. Many believed there was no room for her in the sport. That didn't stop her though. Since she was 13 she believed that she would be an Olympic gold medalist and nothing was going to keep her from achieving her dream. In Episode 1, Helen opens up about the obstacles she had to overcome to become the wrestler that she is today.

I was super lucky to have a really great coach from the getgo. He wasn’t excited for a girl at first, but I managed to change his mind in 1 month, and now he wants more girls, which is awesome!!!

Helen is a champion and she makes me want to achieve my goals !!!!! My definition of a true champion - a human being that never truly understands the silent and quiet changes she made in other people lives !!! Thank you Helen ! God bless you and you future endevours !!!!

i agree

[@johnomara849]

Can’t believe your wrestling was met with such negative reactions early on! I coach at Oak Park River Forest (no.1 high school team in the country 2015) and we are working hard to ATTRACT girl wrestlers. Hopefully years from now we’ll have a solid girl wrestling squad.

[@oliviadavis9639]

It's definitely gotten better since she was in highschool but i think its a bit opposite andsome girls now are the ones who don't want to wrestle instead of people not wanting them to wrestle. I'm a girl wrestler and if i lived near Oak Park River Forest I'd for sure want to go there

I am a girl wrestler and I have not wrestled very many boys that won’t wrestle me. I just won youth female athlete of the year. People that don’t believe in girl wrestling well start to believe in it. Girl wrestling has grown. GIRL WRESTLERS ROCK

[@knightofkorbin888]

Guys can't wrestle girls, we will always either not be thinking about it as a fight, or trying not to harm her or seem be too rough. Basically it's because fighting a girl means you've already lost.

[@sauronsaga4839]

Fighting a woman against a man is a complete idiot. It's a shame that you have to prove something to yourself, it shows a low sense of value. There is no doubt that women can do something. Nowadays, the fight between the sexes is being promoted, which is very sad. A woman needs a man and a man needs a woman. Unfortunately, the left-wingers are arguing with us and now there are results.

To all the people who think it's wrong... Damn...I wish this sounded stupid right now and was something people used to say, but there's still SOOO much nonsense out there. But for all the sites dedicated to shitting on Women's Wrestling...all you needed to see were the fans at the D1s this past year. The ACTUAL fans of the sport know that just selfishly its a great thing for Men's Wrestling, but...also...why the fuck not? Why shouldn't they be able to Wrestle? I DO get Boys feeling bad when they lose...but frankly...I don't care as much about that as I do seeing the sport grow.

It can be unfair to a guy as he may not want to hurt a girl or he may hold back because of it.

[@TheMonkeyKing7235]

Don’t know why they would, Ive wrestled girls before and won, some girls are just a lot better at wrestling females like this one girl was a national placer for females in my state yet when put up against guys her weight it was like she was completely outclassed tbh

[@seekn.destroy4064]

It puts the guy in a bad spot. I would refuse to wrestle her and I wrestled D1

Back in my HS days a friend's sister was able to lift me and toss me like a rag doll (I was prob 150 lbs then). Don't underestimate some females and their level of natural strength.

[@teller1290]

Never underrate them, esp when they're same weight you are.

[@tidakada7357]

This kind of video is so one sided. The opposing coaches and wrestlers are painted as all bigots for not wanting to compete against her. The answer is separate women's and men's wrestling teams, not forcing sexes to mix on the mat if they wouldn't prefer to. Boys have something to lose and little to gain by publicly losing to a girl in combat sports , and even much to lose in just admitting this fact. And that is to great extant due to the gaze of the girls and women in the stands watching them wrestle- not only fellow males.

[@eugene7518]

There were NO girls wrestling team then for Helen Maroulis to wrestle. YOU WEREN'T LISTENING.

[@eugene7518]

[@magicsinglez]

It was just total stupidity. . . hehe, funny story, actually. But this coach is the dumbest man I’ve ever heard talk.

[@blubbersquid4989]

Except no boy wants to wrestle a girl wrestler. I had to go against a girl and I fucking didn’t take one shot because it not gonna take a shot on a girl. I still won because she took shots and I sprawled and then took down.

[@TtvMustardStain]

The terms still apply, this is not a female

[@teller1290]

Get your eyes or brain fixed immediately.

[@OneManParade]

Stop saying you have it tough. The first wrestler that I knew was a girl was in 1979. Now she had it tough. I remember the the things the parents would tell at her. She never let it bother her because she was a wrestler not a girl wrestler.

[@lonelywarrior7689]

It's a male dominated sport, girls are regularly looked over, underestimated and not taken seriously. I competed both nationally and internationally, freestyle and greco-roman, against boy and girls. Me and my brothers were very succesful, we all won many gold medals but boys in gerneral get more and bigger trophies for the same performance. Within my club there was a competition by attending practice regularly you would get points, who had the most points at the end of the year won a trophy. I made more pints than my brother and recieved a smaller trophy. I fought against a boy, we were pretty even, but in the end I was victorious. He then refused to to shake my hand, the hand of the ref and the hand of my coach. He wasn't disqualified for being disrespectful. When the coach prepared us for the national championship he promised everyone who brought home gold a shirt with our name. He wasn't even there when me and the other girls went to the national championships. Me and a teammate brought home gold. The coach didn't fullfill his promise to us, only after we reminded him several times. The boys on the other hand brought home one gold, he got the shirt the next practice. So don't you dare saying this isn't tough on a child. I never expected or wanted special treatment. I just wanted to be treated like the boys. I just wanted to get the respect I deserved.

[@eugene7518]

Helen Maroulis along with the Olympics and she winning the Olympic gold medal changed all that.

[@eugene7518]

Helen Maroulis made history. She is the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal for the USA. She had it tough but she wasn't bitter about it then or now. She wrestles to honor God.

[@eugene7518]

Wrestling is no longer a male dominated sport. Thanks to Helen Maroulis and the Olympic games. Helen Maroulis says," Christ is in me. I am enough."
