Fans Tease Jason Kelce for ‘Cheating’ During Arm Wrestling Contest With Olympic Athlete
- Former NFL star Jason Kelce was challenged to an arm wrestling match by Team USA rugby player Nicole Heavirland at the Olympics, with Heavirland and others poking fun at Jason's technique on social media.
Jason Kelce might be retired from the NFL, but the football star is still in fighting form...or is he?
While attending the Olympics with his wife, Kylie Kelce, the 36-year-old former athlete was challenged to an arm wrestling match by Team USA rugby star Nicole Heavirland—and though Jason was victorious, Heavirland (and others) poked fun at Jason's potentially questionable technique on social media.
" @jason.kelce holding on to that table a little bit? 🤣" wrote Heavirland, with Kylie adding that she "tried to warn" the Olympian about her husband.
On X, Jason tried to defend himself—but was playfully accused of "pure cheating."
As Parade previously reported, Jason's patriotic style at the Olympics has been a huge hit with fans. While watching the women's field hockey team face off against Argentina, he wore a blue crew neck with red lettering and jeans, adding some Parisian-themed flair with a dark blue beret. Kylie, meanwhile, was seen wearing a white jacket with red, white and blue stripes on the shoulders.

For his arm wrestling contest with Heavirland, Jason sported a pair of American flag shorts (and again, the navy beret). In an Instagram video following Sunday's match, USA Rugby player Ilona Maherofficially asked Jason to be her team's "super fan."
"Women's water polo has Flava Flavas their super fan. And you are a girl dad...there's no money, there's no benefits at all...I don't have any free stuff," Maher said. "But if you just wanna be our super fan, you can just even say, 'I'm a fan.'"
