The 2024 Paris Olympics are underway, and NFL stars Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are excited to cheer on Team USA.
Jason, retired Philadelphia Eagles center, recently attended the women's field hockey competition in Paris alongside his wife, Kylie Kelce, who played the sport growing up.
On Thursday, one day before the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce appeared on their "New Heights" podcast and revealed which Olympic sport they thought they'd excel at.
What Olympic Sport Do Jason And Travis Think They Would Excel In?
Fans are dying to know: What Olympic sport do Travis and Jason Kelce think they could snag a gold medal in? But there’s a twist – it can’t be a sport they’ve played professionally, so American Football is off the table.
Instead, the two opted for a sport played during the Winter Olympics--Curling. "Me and Jason have kind of been on this, and I've never actually played it," Travis admitted. "Let's just go and see how good we are at curling."
Jason then chimed in, telling his brother, "I'm a good sweeper, I don't sweep often, but when I do it, it's good." After a few seconds of laughter, Travis responded, "We'd be really good at being cheeky with it. Our understanding of angles and speed, we'd kill it."
Jason Kelce Suggested Two-Man Bobsled, But Travis Kelce Shut That Down Immediately
In addition to Curling, Jason thinks Corn Hole and Beer Pong should become Olympic sports because the Kelce Brothers would certainly win Gold at those backyard games.
Two-man Bobsled was also mentioned, but Travis quickly shut that down as he revealed, "Neither one of us can drive. I don't know if that's the best [idea]."

Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce flew to Paris to cheer on the U.S. women's field hockey team in their opening game. Kylie, who played field hockey growing up, was ecstatic to have the opportunity to watch the team live.
“I would say I’ve always wanted to come and see (an) Olympic games,” Kylie told The Associated Press after the United States lost 4-1 to medal favorite Argentina. “When they qualified to come to Paris, I was like, that kind of makes sense. And then when I got to sit down with Ashley and Kelee, it was kind of a no-brainer. ... Through and through, it made sense. We’re happy to be here.”

The retired NFL star, who showed up in true Paris fashion, rocking a blue beret and a USA blue crew neck, echoed his wife's comments, sharing how much it meant to finally attend a Summer Olympics game after years of being tied up with NFL pre-season practice.
“When we found out that we were going to have an opportunity to go to this, the more we thought about it, we were like, ‘Let’s take advantage of it now that we can actually do it,'” Jason said. “We love sports, we love competition, we love world events. This is such a unique place where the entire world gets to come together and bond over competition and sports.”
Kylie Kelce Teams Up With U.S. Players For A TikTok Video
Earlier this year, Kylie teamed up with U.S. players Ashley Sessa and Kelee Lepage for a TikTok. She admitted feeling a bit embarrassed at first, but said it was totally worth it!
“It was just really cool to sit down and talk with them about what this means to them, how they’ve looked forward to it and what it took for them get here and it’s so amazing to see them on this stage,” the former field hockey player said. “It’s just sort of this full-circle moment of I feel like the field hockey community really bands together. No matter what level you’re playing, you can appreciate what this is."
The 2024 Paris Olympics are airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
