Does your sport have rizz?

Reporters Hildi Harrington and Isabel Bruce join forces to analyze which sports provide the maximum rizz.

The newly released film, “Challengers,” glorifies tennis players on and off the court. Other sports are just as charismatic, and deserve a shout-out just as well, if not more so!

As wrestlers, we have the objectively best and hardest sport in the world with the most rizz of all, thus we felt it necessary to give our highly valuable opinion on where all other sports place, on the rizz. Wrestling would be top…but that would be biased journalism, and we would like to remain strictly professional.

1. RUGBY 

Rugby is a sport that originated in England (which is not why it is ranked highly on this list). This sport requires grit, strength and the ability to catch a funky shaped oblong ball traditionally known as a “footie”! What truly makes this sport the rizziest is the player’s ability to lift each other, similarly to how Patrick Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey in “Dirty Dancing.”  

2. HOCKEY 

What pulls more than good dental insurance? What is more adorable than a unique smile? Hockey is ranked number 2 on this list because of the possibility of a Zamboni ride at your wedding! (Additionally, if the players are Canadian you might get dual citizenship).

3. ROCK CLIMBING 

Having the ability to scale a wall is inherently the best way to rizz someone up. Or maybe also terrifying? Who doesn’t love both? Calluses are cute. Imagine being on a date, in which you are ravenous for pickles but you can’t open your pickle jar! Good news for you, a rock climber has incredible Hulk-like strength in their hands and would crack that pickle jar open effortlessly. This is why rock climbers climb to the #3 spot! 

4. ROWING 

POV – you are on the Titanic. You fortunately aren’t floating on a door, but instead, you find yourself on a lifeboat. But uh oh! Your tiny teensy bitsy arms are freezing, and you need to get to safety! A rower would not only be able to row your lifeboat out of the Arctic Circle, but to a tropical paradise thousands of miles away. All the while holding your hand! ULTIMATE RIZZ. 

5. SURFING 

Surfing is in the top 5 because it combines athleticism, chic aesthetic and fearlessness. Surfers will always have sunscreen on hand; if you’re lucky, they might know some merpeople! 

Honorable mention – Hobby horsing (duh)
