Male Gymnast Tries Rhythmic Gymnastics!

[@iangunther]

If you want more long form content like this let me know! Who should I collab with in the future?

[@bsbt4053]

we NEED @sofiedossi and contortion video ^^

[@Reallillycurxe]

Haha yes😂😂

[@ciaraquick]

The long form content is fun! I would love to see you try some cheerleading stuff 📣

[@sarahott]

YES PLEASE!!! Much prefer long form content over TikToks and Shorts.

[@haruhaesu597]

YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR LONG CONTENT

[@breemlew]

What I love about this series is watching these highly trained athletes try similar sports but be absolutely stymied. Because it just goes to show how hard, even for the very talented, these sports are.

[@lindadanzaatkins8224]

Loved watching you go outside your comfort zone :)

Russian rhythmic Gymnastics is the best in the world. Slava Russia 🇷🇺

Ian did great!! We gotta do this again~~

[@carl_smiley_face1396]

You make it look so easy! And having Ian there shows just how hard it actually is, even for a professional gymnast

[@Draw_Soccer]

Eyy ELANA IM A BIG FAN❤🎉😂

HELP HI ELENA I WATCHED U SINCE 2021

[@ciaraquick]

That hoop catch after the cartwheel was so impressive! I was just so impressed by everything from both the whole time

[@iangunther]

That was all luck haha!

[@ciaraquick]

I dunno, you pretty much nailed all the hoop tricks, maybe it’s your calling!!

[@microplastique]

you can tell she usually teaches this to kids💀

[@Melonsmellowmelons]

Lol

[@fonzie2098]

Ian looked so pretty doing the ribbon thing at the end

[@iangunther]

Thanks 💅🏼

[@RobespierreThePoof]

I mean, he always looks pretty.

[@amandaw5993]

She's so sweet and a great teacher!

[@DalaMartez]

ian’s muscles were too big to roll the ball over them lmao

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I doubt that

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

I think what it was was that his muscles were too big and limited his shoulder flexibility so he couldn't get them close enough to his head to close the gap and make it small enough that the ball wasn't getting caught there.

[@NatalieHayes-x5x]

two of my favorite gymnastics youtubers in one video!

[@qwertyTRiG]

Next option: Japanese Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics, which is actually a completely different sport despite the same name.

[@cedfowler]

😂

[@srahhh]

It would be really nice to see your guest do a demo of their normal kind of routine at the end, to see what it looks like at their actual level!

[@AmberFerrariGirl]

*Ian "Thor of the Hoop" Gunther* 😅😅 I was actually impressed by your hoop-work, for a male gymnast not used to having to do as much 'artistic/dance' (aka 'feminine') elements in your routines and skills you can be surprisingly elegant (we're pretending the walkovers didn't happen, and hoping your back is recovered, lol 😉). Looking forward to part 2! 😊

[@Sofie-gn9so]

No but rhythmic gymnastics looks very difficult. She was amazing, and very impressing :0

[@misssunnydee]

Would love to see you collab with a ballet boy/ballerino or someone who does acrobatics (cirque du soleil stuff).

[@misssunnydee]

PS. When you go for ballet I'm sure Eva Nys will have some tips for you as she follows pre-pro's at the American school for Ballet.

[@johncousineau1250]

Great job, Ian! It was fun watching you try to execute the different components of Rhythmic Gymnastics. I appreciated your good humour, patience and perseverance. 🙂

[@karenward267]

I enjoy how Ian commits 100% to all sports he tries. This is a great episode that shows how how specialized men’s gymnastics is, but Ian is so well coordinated that he quickly picked up the skills. I’m not saying we’ll see men’s rhythmic gymnastics competitions anytime soon, but if we do, I know he’d be the first to raise his hand.

[@dariiamirtalipova]

As a former rhythmic gymnast and huge fan of ELena Shinohara, IT MADE ME SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS VIDEO FROM IAN!!! Also, yes please to more long form content~ :D

[@hellwroughtangel]

He was so good at the ribbons.

[@billharker5424]

This was so much fun to watch! Thanks for all the laughs! 😂😂😂

[@kfinman]

She's a really good teacher!

[@CatianaKeys]

The sound effect and animations made me giggle so hard. Great video overall and tbh you were so much better than anticipated!

[@kaleykay]

I feel like Ian was born to do a full routine. Lol. He caught on quickly and the enthusiasm is there. He had a great teacher too.

[@TheXboxBandit]

Can’t wait for part 2!!!!

[@moop4567]

I love her energy 🥺🥺

[@marcusholtzmann8387]

Slow motion walkovers really show the shoulder mobility you need.

[@dibening]

She's a great teacher 😂

[@nedsantos1415]

I got an anxiety attack watching Ian do a back walkover. I was so scared he was going to break his back........

[@Hinona.]

Love the better overall quality! Keep it up :D

[@iangunther]

Yay, thank you!

[@Hinona.]

@@iangunther Do you think you’re gonna stream again anytime soon? 👀

[@specimen2635]

3:48 you can do that with a cartwheel instead of a front walkover 5:58 you can increase difficulty by doing a backward roll immidiately after catching 8:43 the knot actually came from the spirals you were doing when Elena was showing you her spirals earlier this is actually one of the best gymnastics videos i've watched (as a rhythmic gymnast myself)

[@MeepsNcheese]

YAAAY longform content!!

[@rongold7719]

I think the both of you are an awesome team. Love the positivity.

[@BredBordLights]

I always thought they were bowling balls 😂😂

[@PlanerNL]

that jason bourne joke was gold

[@chungymungy08]

I'm surpries Ian didn't break the hoops

[@CookieCreamCrumble]

You should try bouldering climbing too! Flexibility, strength and balance are all related.

[@juulian1306]

I love Elena's cheerfulness in combination with your faces, like all of them. :D You two have a great energy.

[@francesscalowe]

ian was so transfixed by the ribbons and ngl I would be too 😭

[@timsullivan4687]

Ian is just infinitely effing adorable

[@771shadowolf]

man this was a great introduction I usually just do calisthenics and shit but I've gotten into rings and gymnastics lately and this is really an art like wow like what she just showed us today was beautiful wish i learned about this stuff earlier haha

[@emmaslayz6926]

The fact that this is 11:11 long just makes it better

[@thefoxyscentury]

Her toe point is amazing!

[@sarahott]

2:18 IAN THE NOISE YOU MADE WHILE CARTWHEELING!! 🤣😂😂😂

[@mimigamez4202]

HAHAA LOL

[@pujamehta7527]

Literally waited so long for this collab🎉🎉

[@StevenKyleee]

The editing is top notch! 💪🏼

[@claricestarling4964]

Beautiful video! What a talented pair of athletes!

[@jimmybondy9450]

Rhythmic gymnastics is a lot harder than most people think.

[@leo-rp1ps]

the echo on the uhm made me laugh unnecessarily hard

[@GlaciesYin]

The "donk" sound when the ball hits Ian's head XD I'm losing it

[@timontherocks7521]

She is so nice! 😊 You can imagine how she motivates the 5 year old! 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@skateata1]

Two of my favorite gymnasts! ❤

[@ALu-nq8rf]

Ian: you don't have to gaslight me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RamenNoodle1985]

"don't break yourself" 😂

[@sarahott]

You two are so cute. It's so satisfying watching experienced Gymnasts show off their skills. 🤸

[@naturegirl2839]

I literlly felt so bad for ian, I really felt the pain by the back walkover 🤯

[@raiinzyy]

1:04 bro suddenly went breakdance style and did an invert freeze for a second lmao

[@baseballfan172]

You are amazing! Love these long form videos! Maybe collab with Jack and Bailey Payne? They have great videos and competitions.

[@Haileyy837]

I love your vids!!

[@arieahree]

yall are so goofy lol great vid!

[@ariemhetareads3996]

This made me really appreciate the work that goes into rhytmic gymnastics, instead of just dismissing it as naked girls.

[@chanchalatanty8668]

Ian is damn funny 😂😂🤣 he's sooo scared to hold the between his legs cause have to protect his future 😂😂😂

[@sophie.E._]

MY FAV DUO!!!

[@trevorp.2736]

I loved the editing

[@Kya_Kishikø]

Ian was acting like such a child in this it made me laugh so much ✨I FEEL LIKE HARRY POTTER! LEVIOSA!✨

[@TaurusWitch29]

[@Setsunako6587]

Ok, but the Mortal Kombat edit from your first back walkover 🤣🤣🤣🪦👻💕

[@latonyanewsome0]

I would like to see female artistic gymnasts vs. female rhythmic gymnasts.

[@rosyellis14]

my two favorite gymnastics youtubers!

[@Helen_590]

This is actually a new dating tactic but the trade off is that you literally have to do cartwheels and jump through hoops 😂

[@ikkeisikke]

I find it so bizar that a elite gymnast can't do walkovers 😂

[@haruhaesu597]

GUYS WAKE UP NEW VIDEO DROPPED

[@Linda-d2w1o]

You should do a collab with Anna Mc Nulty

[@japepe69]

the die up hahahahaah someone plays beer die

[@skateata1]

Elena is so nice to him

[@rgcomets]

RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@raquelnunes9793]

When i studied fine arts it was the same. Some classes were elective and several students from different courses were doing the same. I kept looking at the guy on my left during portraiture class. He was in sculpture and I was Drawing, and I remember thinking damn i wish i could do the shading like he did. When our professor passed by he started chatting with us two. Turns out the guy on my left was actually thinking the same about my work 😂 even in different types of art, there will always be niches and people you can learn from and vice versa.

[@azrahaktan5086]

that ball was her favorite one :)

[@TheXboxBandit]

Awesome collab, Nikita Nagorny did good as well in RG with the Avrinas

[@carter3012]

Oh my God the ultimate crossover

[@randomperson2777]

The Jason Bourne clip lmaoo

[@analyntrinidad5063]

Non-gymnasts would not understand this😂

[@ithinkimightbeartemis8459]

2:53 'thats so scary' dude ive gotten 3 concussions from clubs and almost blinded from ribbon (the stick hit my eye after a pullback) you'll be okay, hoop hurts the least

[@elindrew]

Doesn’t mean it’s not scary chill out

[@ohh_heavy]

Try headspin next😂

[@jtplayz1243]

This is good

[@Elliestandsforpeace]

I'm kinda close :p I can do both left and right splits and can do cartwheels! I might try it as I have a hoop :P My favourite apparatus is the ribbon, it's so beautiful

[@jaweriahasank5815]

hi Ian i got here from ur shorts cause im quite interested in Gymnastics so i do it at home by myself and ur content is amazing i love all ur vids thx

[@simplyswifties226]

“we don’t fake our videos around here” …. what about the green screen guys 😂😂🤪🤪

[@WillowsWonderTree]

i was kinda sad with how quickly she rushed over clubs 😅 ive been a rhythmic gymnast for 9 years and clubs are my favourite apparatus ❤

[@pookie-t7q]

i want ian to come to brisbane and teach me male gymastics

[@waynesmith3908]

Don’t break Ian 😂

[@davidhunternyc1]

I think they have a crush on each other. 💕

[@TheJamonLance]

I can do the backspin thing on the hoop to come back. My god, i am a gymnast and i didnt know!
