USA vs Australia | 2022 World Games Final | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Full Game Highlights of the 2022 World Games Flying Disc Gold Medal Match between The United States of America and Australia.

[@gustaaf1892]

Never seen this sport before. It looks interesting and one of the few sports where men and women combine to make up a team.

[@bullfrog0403]

It's called Ultimate Frisbee, it's somewhat popular in the States. Check out AUDL channel (American Ultimate Disc League) to see highlights and a few full games of the semi-pro teams. It's not a professional sport, so AUDL is the highest skill-level of ultimate you can find.

[@Kpoper4life]

Ultimate Frisbee has open, mixed, and women divisions.

Proud US/Aussie dual citizen ultimate player here thanking you for a great upload of a great game!

[@AsianSensationist]

I love playing ultimate disc I didn't realize we had a mixed USA team for it. That's great to know! And props to both teams. What a nailbiter to the end.

[@frankym69]

I loved the aussie defense. Highlight reel quality stuff. Thats what kept them in this thing. This was a really good matchup.

[@dgrahamwithers604]

Great match - congrats to both teams for worthy grind.

awesome

[@dipstix4087]

The best bit about mixed frisbee is all the players look the same

[@richardmichaelybanez3244]

mia sa ending ui hahaha

[@malonea27]

Pretty obvious travel by Khalif at 2:00. He just moves the pivot foot over before pivoting on it.

[@nnzd7858]

5:40 also lol

[@tau93]

5:40 If the Pivot foot is the Left foot, it definitely doesn't remain in constant contact with the ground

[@leokruse38]

2:03 too

[@curtisridenour]

Agreed

[@SmidgeFilms]

oh dude theres absolutely no pivot foot there WTF XD

[@daroldhopkins4163]

4:50 is a violation, right? she has to set her pivot foot on the line? or does it matter which foot it is?

[@danielwood170]

My understanding is that the pivot foot must be just inside of the line (as the line would be out). She seems to have put the wrong foot in this position, and then used the other foot as a pivot. It's also supposed to be a ground touch, not an opposing player tap (unless play stopped - not sure as this is highlight footage and there might be an edit).

[@squidge903]

@@danielwood170 WFDF doesn't need a check. People do, but it's not legally required by WFDF.

[@squidge903]

The pivot has to be set inside the field but not on the line. She could have technically been called for a violation here. It'd be a pretty ticky tacky call though, and probably shouldn't be called unless the defender felt like Ma gained an advantage or they were defensively disadvantaged by her position.

[@daroldhopkins4163]

@@squidge903 yeah, and it definitely can be a defensive disadvantage if you're expecting the thrower to pivot on one foot and then they pivot on the other. but i don't think that happened in this instance.

[@jstnrgrs]

ridiculous that this is called "flying disc" instead of Frisbee. (I know that there are trademark concerns, but I think Freisbee would be determined to be generic if it ever went to court.)

[@rokuronzoni6274]

You're probably right that frisbee would be considered a generic term, but there'd be years of litigation and changes to names in the mean time. It'd be a hot mess for a while.

[@ric5210]

It should be called Ultimate

[@InformatiK2230]

5:43 is not Travel?

[@anthonyhoang5902]

So during this pandemic, the organizers put the packed crowd on the side of the field further from the action and facing the sun. The tents are in the shade. We see no fans in the highlight. Great for marketing. These people are so smart.

[@SteveLindsley7]

I was at these games. The organizers did use the much larger East stands, mainly for security reasons. There weren’t enough security to monitor both sides. And with the player’s tent set up on the other side, the West stands were useless. But security did allow us to bring in umbrellas for shade. Not ideal but not too bad. The final game was played at 6 PM. Birmingham is in the Deep South… in the summer… so it was gonna be hot no matter what. All in all, I think the city put on a good display.

Joel Engberg is so good a frisbee

[@julianricco9979]

just needs to work on his throwing my and catching

[@ByrdNick]

Question from an uninformed spectator: what does the announcer mean by “gender mismatch”? (Example: 5:04)

[@eviloverlord]

Since it's a mixed team of men and women, "gender mismatch" means a man is guarding a woman or vice versa.

Desperately, desperately dull. What a contrived plastic imitation of a pastime. In the pantheon of sports I would rank this below nettle eating, slow bicycle racing and Aunt Sally (don't ask). It is an utterly pointless waste of human life.

[@Wentz08]

Then don't watch it. I as well as others happen to enjoy it.

[@thearcticlord3920]

@@Wentz08 Don't worry I didn't. I tried for a couple of minutes and felt I was wasting my life. No idea who thought this was a good idea for a game. It is the sort of thing you do on the beach for five minutes, then realise you look ridiculous. In all fairness perhaps it is a sport for those who have failed in life.
