NEW YORK Two U.K. star athletes teach each other about their respective sports in a new campaign by 180 for Adidas breaking on Friday.

Soccer star David Beckham and rugby player Jonny Wilkinson, both of whom wear Adidas Predator soccer shoes, star in the campaign, which consists of a 90-second cinema spot and three 30-seconds commercials.
