The time has come. Contestants, please enter the arena.

Anyone home?

- Ah, this is sick. - Welcome to the jungle!

That tree is huge.

Don't do things by halves.

What is this?

What's that?

Holy shit. This is crazy.

Wow, look at that.

- What the heck? - Bro…

So as I walk into quest three arena,

I see this massive tree

with fabric hanging down

and traditional Korean rope.

And it was just such a nice setting. It was like a movie setting.

- Nice. I can't believe it. - This is really eerie.

What is this?

The sets were crazy last season,

but this season's even better.

Some of it was confusing,

but it all looked interesting and fun.

I was excited.

Yo, this is massive. There's actual real leaves?

Every setup has been amazing.

I felt like I was transported back a few hundred years ago in Korea.

Physical: Asia.

Here we go.

We will now revel the details

of the third quest.

The Team Representative Match.

PHYSICAL: ASIA

6. INSURMOUNTABLE WALL

Your third quest, the Team Representative Match,

will consist of four individual games.

Holy moly.

They're all here.

They're all here.

- The sack toss. - Sack toss?

One person.

Oh, over the bar!

- Holy… - Right, oh.

In this timed game, the players must throw the sack over the hurdle

in order to pass the sack to their opponents.

The hurdles are 4 meters tall.

As for the sack, its weight starts at 14 kg.

Okay. You throw it behind you.

Over that thing?

And whoever gets tired the fastest loses.

So it's endurance first.

I can do that too.

We actually, um, have more experience doing that

since I'm a strongman athlete.

So I have the grip strength and the endurance as well.

Uh, we have the advantage for that event.

- Hanging endurance. - Wait, hanging?

One person.

- Oh, hanging endurance. - Hanging endurance.

- Here. - Where's that?

Which one?

Where do we hang from?

Players must hang from long strips of fabric as long as they can.

Those over there?

Holy…

Yeah, I couldn't do… Yeah.

It's all about grip strength.

That's insane.

Stone Totem Endurance.

Two people.

- "Stone Totem Endurance"? Okay. - Oh, wow.

- Two people again. - Two people.

In this game, while standing back to back

two representatives from each team

will fight to uphold four totems as long as possible.

The weight of each stone totem

is 135 kg.

Should even one of the totems fall to the ground,

that team will be eliminated.

- So, that means… - Both need to be up.

And they're insanely heavy too.

This is your game, Eddie.

It's cool, 'cause I get to do it with two people.

When I heard 135 per hand,

I thought I could just do it on my own. We didn't need two people.

I knew that, you know,

this was one of the… this was gonna be one of my events.

Pillar vaulting.

Pillar jump rope.

Two people.

In this game, two players from each team will compete in a short relay.

Each team member must complete ten laps by vaulting over the pillar.

10 TIMES X 2 PEOPLE

Once those are completed, the second runner will grab the flag.

Wow.

Sorry, guys. Sorry, everyone.

It's literally parkour, sorry. Apologies.

- He said parkour? - Yeah.

And finally, to keep things fair,

every member of each team must compete in at least one of the four games.

Okay, so we can do multiple.

You can't.

Two, one…

In each of the games,

the first place team will earn three points,

the second place team will earn two,

and the third place team will earn only one.

Once all four games are complete, the scores will be tallied, and teams ranked.

And the team that earn the lowest score overall,

will be eliminated.

If there is a tie,

in lieu of a rematch, the final standing will be determined

by placement in the pillar vaulting game.

Australia's going to have an advantage there.

- But it's such a short lap. - If you're fast…

You can't really tell at this point.

Contestants, you will now select your game representatives.

Please meet with your teammates

to determine which players are assigned to each game.

All right, bring it in, guys.

All right, we need everyone's contribution here as well.

How good are you with holding?

No, I don't think we should sacrifice the two biggest guys on that.

The other one I was gonna think of doing

was the flip, 'cause it's just constant power.

Just power, over and over.

Actually, I'm thinking…

I'm not certain whether, um,

- I do the sack flipping or that one. - Yeah.

With your muscle endurance, maybe that one.

- That's what I was thinking too. - Yeah.

Of course, with Ray, I thought the totem poles would definitely be

extremely fitting for his discipline.

I thought there were some good events

to use Robyn in, with speed.

In my head, I was thinking about

who should be placed in which event.

'Cause you can also kind of look at it… look at the other teams.

Sack toss won't be their strongest point.

I think I'd be good at sack toss.

I-I'd be pretty good at sack toss too.

He can win the sack toss.

'Cause he can just keep going forever. Honestly.

- Yeah, honestly. - That's what…

- That's one of his comps. - Yeah.

- He could do both of them. - I could do both.

What do you guys think? Like, where should we put…

We knew that if he was in the sack toss…

whichever… any strength contest

he was going to be in, he was going to win three points.

So it was more, where did we want to use that trump card?

Where did we want to get three points?

This is really tricky.

All right, Amotti, what are your thoughts here?

All right. I think the probability to tie is high,

so that's where we should put all our effort.

If there's a tie

then the scores from that game determine who gets to stay.

- Wait, which? - The hurdle game.

Okay, I see. Ten laps per person.

- That's easy. - Too easy.

- What if it's round trips? - It's a speed battle.

Each person does ten laps…

- Round trips. - …for a total of 20.

So if our goal is to win the hurdles,

then we have to put two men on that game?

We have to give up the pillars.

But then we won't have the power.

Yeah, they have strongmen on their team.

Are we okay with that,

so that we can focus more on the hurdles?

Yeah? Or should we keep it balanced?

Okay, okay. How about this?

The meeting period has come to an end.

Physical: Asia.

Third quest. Team Representative Match.

Whoo!

- Let's go! - Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go!

First game.

Those selected for the pillar vault please enter the arena.

The game will begin momentarily.

Korea!

Fight on!

When I say "cattle," you say "dog"!

- Cattle! - Dog!

- Let's fight! - Philippines!

Let's go!

- This is gonna be fun. - Let's crush 'em, guys! Come on!

Hey, buddy. Ooh, interesting choice.

YUN SUNG-BIN FORMER NATIONAL TEAM SKELETON RACER

Picks two of the guys. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I didn't expect that-that matchup from…

I thought we'd crush the vault challenge.

I was confident in our overall speed.

So, of course I went in thinking we'll take first place, no problem.

As soon as they told us what the games were,

I knew that I was doing the first challenge.

It's jumping over blocks, which is 100 what I train.

Katelin is just a little Energizer Bunny.

She was the perfect choice,

where she can continue going and her stamina is crazy.

For me and Lara, we have speed.

And I run 400 hurdles for a living.

ROBYN NATIONAL TEAM 400 M HURDLES ATHLETE

So that's just what I do all the time.

I'm a CrossFitter.

I'm the balanced one, and I'm stronger in my stamina, endurance.

We know we can do our best

in order to maximize our potential and win the game.

Okay.

We need a strategic victory please, guys.

It'll be an easy victory.

This game? Yeah, I think you're right.

If we win this our team is safe, I guarantee it.

Team Representative Match.

First game: Pillar Vaulting.

The match will begin at the sound of the whistle.

Let's go!

Win, guys. You got it!

Come on, Lara. Good start, good start, good start!

Stun Gun!

Let's go!

Yun Sung-bin, let's go!

- We need to win. - They must be nervous.

Come on, you two.

Looking around, I knew we'd made the right decision.

We were winning this game.

Stand by.

Ready…

Go!

Back, back over. Back, back over.

Then two, over, smooth.

Bell, bell, bell.

Good work. One. Good.

All right, let's make it count! You're doing great!

You've got this!

Come on, speed it up!

- That's it, Kate. That's it. - Come on, Kate. Let's go. Good!

Good.

You've got it, Lara.

Come on, Lara.

Keep it up!

Let's go, Kate. Gotta catch him, Kate. Come on, catch him!

Catch him, Kate! Ca…

Destroy them!

Round and around and around.

Nice job, Dong-hyun!

That's four.

You can catch up, Kate, come on!

You've got this! I want you to keep running!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- Pick it up, let's go! - You've got this, Lara.

Work. Work.

Slow. Come on.

Come on, Lara, push!

- Come on, Lara! - Good work, Lara!

When I was jumping off the pillars,

it was hard for me because I'm short.

I need to exert more effort to jump,

but not being negative about anything.

Just so we can perform and do our best for the team.

You've got this, guys! Keep it up!

This is intense.

Just three more laps! You're almost there!

Eight.

The impression I got was that the first runners

on the other two teams were slower.

So, my goal was to widen the gap as much as possible.

After all, the professional parkour athlete was about to tag in.

I needed to make sure Sung-bin stayed ahead.

Come on, Kate, don't slow. Push yourself.

Push yourself. Come on.

Come on, Kate, keep pushing.

Perfect form, Kate, perfect form. Nice, step, over.

I'll admit, I was a little worried that it was

two men up against a woman and a man in our team.

So I had a lot of work to do.

- Last one! - Watch your pacing.

We're winning. We've got this. Nice, nice!

Sung-bin's a complete powerhouse.

He's unmatched in strength and speed.

Nobody was gonna beat us.

Mind your pace.

Okay, good.

Just hold steady.

Good job, Sung-bin! Keep it up!

Just don't let your guard down!

Let's go, Dom!

- Just don't let your guard down! - Whoa. Holy cow.

Come on, just a little bit faster!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go! - Come on, explosive!

Last one, last one. Push through, push through.

Go, out of there.

Let's go, Dom, let's go, Dom! Let's go, Dom! Yes, Dom!

Mr. Parkour's too fast.

- Let's go, Dom! Let's go, Dom! - Recover, Dom, recover.

Smooth is fast, and fast is smooth.

Parkour is about finding the most efficient path.

So I knew if I did

Kong, step, step, lazy, around,

Kong, step, step, lazy, bell,

and just hit that rhythm,

then it was gonna be faster than any other athlete there.

Hang on, Sung-bin! It's all about endurance! Just stay focused!

You're doing great! Keep it up!

Don't slow down!

Three.

He's slowing down, Dom!

You're catching him! You're catching him!

You're catching him, Dom!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Go, go, go!

Good!

Nice, Robyn!

- Let's go! Let's go, Robyn! - Nice, Robyn!

Okay! I think he's got it now.

Great job, Sung-bin!

Okay, okay! We've got this!

Let's go, Dom. Let's go, let's go, Dom!

Yeah, keep pacing yourself, okay. But still push when you can.

Let's go, Dom, let's go, Dom! Come on!

Let's go, let's go! Let's go, Dom!

Let's go! Two left! Let's go, Dom! Let's go!

- You're killing it, Sung-bin! - Let's go!

Come on, Sung-bin! Keep pushing!

Get in, Dom! Go, go, go!

Come on, Sung-bin.

Go, Sung-bin!

You gotta pick up the pace!

Push! Push!

Let's go, Dom! Let's go, two left! Let's go, Dom! Let's go!

Let's go, Dom! Win it, win it, win it!

Let's go, Robyn!

Good work. Come on, finish strong. Finish strong, finish strong.

Sung-bin, he's tired. Australia's tired!

Keep it up! You're almost there!

Come on, last one! Press and sprint!

Okay, press it and go.

Dom, you beautiful man!

- Tomato! Tomato! Tomato! - Let's go!

Tomato! Tomato! Tomato!

- Whoo! - Whoa! That was mad, dude!

It's okay, there's one more round. You can do it!

Man…

by the end of that first round,

it was obvious that we'd made a mistake.

My legs were already feeling numb and we were only halfway through,

which was a bad sign.

Before we started I thought it'd be a speed battle,

but the game was all about endurance.

And once I realized that, I knew things weren't gonna play out

like we thought they would.

The match has ended.

Nice one.

- Sorry, sorry. - Don't worry.

Nice, nice. Nice one, nice one.

Dong-hyun!

Nice job!

You gotta do more to give Sung-bin some more leeway!

Got it!

All right, I'm gonna try to widen it by two laps.

Give it your all. We gotta win first, okay?

If we end up in second,

we're gonna regret it.

So no regrets, all right? This is our last stand.

Come on, Dom. Come on, you got this.

Easy money. Let's get this win and get three points on the board.

If I just keep my pace

and don't get any further behind,

Dom can definitely catch them.

Stand by.

- Stay close. Get on your front foot! - Stay on!

Fight on, Korea!

Ready…

Let's go, babe. Yes!

Great, he's pushing.

Over.

Bell. Beautiful. One.

You've got to hurry!

Just like that! Let's go, man!

After this, you're done for the day!

Okay, two.

Ten rounds! Keep the pace up.

I know you're burning. Let's push through. Let's go!

That's it, breathe, breathe.

Good! Come on, babe.

Don't slow down now!

That's it! There you go!

Over, around. Three. Come on.

Good pace. Keep that pace, Kate. Just keep it nice and smooth.

Five!

He's gassing, he's gassing, Kate. Let's go!

Good job. This is your time, Kate! Kate, let's push through!

Pick up the pace!

Go, Kate! Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!

Let's go! Faster! Faster! Faster!

Let's go, Kate, come on!

Let's go, Kate! Come on! Take more!

Swing your arms, swing your arms, swing your arms! Let's go!

I kept trying to widen the gap,

but that girl from Australia kept catching up to me.

Her speed really caught me off-guard.

Last lap!

- Come on! You're almost there! - Run!

Sung-bin, let's keep the pace!

Aim for first, guys!

And over, come on. Come on.

Yun Sung-bin is the golden boy from Season 1.

He is an absolute physical freak,

and I knew he was gonna be good at this.

But this is my court.

Hit it, hit it, hit it.

Let's go, Dom! Let's go, Dom! Let's go, Dom!

Let's go, Dom. Yes!

Get him, Dom. He's gassed, he's gassed, Dom! He's gassed!

Come on, come on!

It's not over till it's over, so keep pushing till the end!

Don't give up!

- This is your moment! - Let's go, Dom!

Yes, Dom! Yes, Dom!

- Faster! - You're almost there, Sung-bin!

Come on! Come on!

This is your game, Dom! This is your game!

Don't slow down! Push through it!

Let's go. Yes!

Let's go, Dom! Let's go!

Let's go. Yes!

Let's go, Dom! Let's go!

Yes, Dom!

Breathe, Dom! He's slowing down! Breathe!

Oh, sh…

I was so full of adrenaline

that it physically hurt every time I landed.

I was knackered.

I never do this much parkour in a row,

but for my team, I'm just gonna keep pushing.

Let's go eat! Let's go eat! Let's go eat!

Let's go, Tomato!

All right, you got this. Let's go.

I mean, I was at a loss.

What could I do?

Let's go eat! Let's go eat!

Let's go, Dom!

Whoo!

Yes, Dom!

Easy jog! Easy jog! Easy jog!

Tomato! Tomato!

- The match has ended. - Tomato! Tomato!

Great work, Kate. Great work, Kate.

The match has ended.

It's okay.

They were tough.

Really tough.

We did it!

Whoo!

That was all you. Proud of you.

I'm f*****.

Yes!

I knew it!

This round was over before it began.

Ah, I'm so happy.

But I'm also so exhausted.

That took every inch of me.

That took every part of my being to stay true and finish strong.

If I was to describe

mine and Dom's teamwork in one word…

Perfection.

God damn, guys!

- Man, that really sucks. - I know.

And we used two of our men on that too, which isn't good.

I was really embarrassed, and disappointed in myself.

I let my team down.

We were supposed to win, not settle for second.

That's why Sung-bin and I chose hurdles.

But now that felt like a huge mistake.

Physical: Asia.

Team Representative Match. Game 2.

Stone Totem Endurance match contestants, please enter the arena.

The game will soon begin.

- Okay. - Let's go!

- Let's go, boys. - Come on, we got this.

Let's go, guys!

We thought that Justin and Ray would be perfect for that position

because they're our two biggest guys.

So we really needed them for that position.

They're both very strong, and not only physically, but mentally.

So I just had a feeling that we would win it.

- Let's go! - Come on, let's show 'em!

This'll be an interesting battle.

Because I know Eloni has really good grip strength,

and I know Rob has really good grip strength

from wrestling and mixed martial arts.

So I thought those two would be a great pair to work together.

Here comes Korea's top ssireum wrestler!

Guy and a girl.

Having Min-jae on the totems was a no-brainer.

He was made for this.

Eun-sil was a risky pick,

but she was our best choice, given the circumstances.

Plus, she's a wrestler, so we knew she could hold her own.

Man, that's cool. They've sent all their big guys.

- Everyone's sent their… their tank. - Yeah.

It'll be fine.

Our team will be okay if we get third.

We knew that we'd be at a disadvantage here,

especially going up against a strongman.

This wasn't our priority.

But since we'd lost the first game,

that meant the rest of us suddenly had to scramble

to try and make up for that loss.

And that kind of pressure could really hurt us.

Game 2: Stone Totem Endurance.

Contestants, please take your positions and ready yourselves.

Let's do it!

Both teams are intimidating.

Just look at 'em.

I feel like throwing my arms up, "Go easy on us."

Ah, man.

There was a lot of pressure.

This was supposed to be our throwaway game.

"We'll get first in hurdles. Don't worry about it."

But unfortunately we ended up in second place.

Min-jae, Eun-sil, just do your best, okay?

But Team Philippines can't come in first.

So you gotta fight.

If they come in first, we're screwed.

I believe in you, though.

There's a lot at stake here, but it's worth fighting for.

Eun-sil's strong, and she's got a good grip too.

As for myself, this was the first time in the entire competition

where I thought, "Oh, I've got this."

It was time for me to show off a little.

I wanted to win this.

I'm gonna pretend we're at the ssireum championships.

Let's go.

You're the strongest man under heaven.

- Come on. - You really are.

You can pretend it's the Olympics then.

Okay.

We're the heaviest combination.

Yes.

We've gotta be smart, but we've gotta keep our weight in the middle

and make sure that we're both pulling equally.

- We've… We have to find the balance. - We have to find the balance.

Let's go, bro, you and me.

- Let's do this. - Let's go.

They said it's around 135 kilos.

So I'm confident that the weight is not that heavy for me

because I'm doing heavier pulls before.

So I knew in the first game

that we came out with the least amount of points.

Okay? Philippines had one point,

so we really couldn't afford to notch up another last place.

And this would just be a battle of, you know, who could hold off the most

and who had a stronger mind-set.

And I was confident in… in both Ray and I's ability to do this challenge.

- That was it. - We're gonna be able

- to hold f****** forever. - I know.

That's why it's just gonna be

- a long game, this one. - Yeah.

Confidence in this one for me.

ELONI VUNAKECE FORMER RUGBY PLAYER

I know I'm up against some really strong competition here, which…

I-I really enjoy that environment, so I can't wait to get into it.

It'll be fine.

We'll just leave it to fate.

That's right, man. Yeah.

I mean, beating yourself up won't change anything.

Team Representative Match, Game 2:

Stone Totem Endurance.

The match will begin at the sound of the whistle.

- Ten minutes of glory here, bro. - Yeah, brother.

Don't look around. We'll tell you what's happening.

- Yeah. - Okay?

Please.

- Remember to communicate. - Okay.

- We've got this. - Yeah.

Come on. You've got this, guys. Let's go.

It's literally your sport. You got this.

Let's do it.

Stand by.

Let's go!

- Here we go. Come on. - Come on, be ready!

- Let's go, guys! - Let's go, boys. Come on!

Ready…

Zone out, boys.

Pull.

- It's started, boys. - Just focus, boys. Don't look around.

Just chill out.

- Just chill out. Relax. - Just breathe.

- I think we're good. - How are you, bro?

- Huh? - How are you?

Yeah, I'm good, brother. I'm good.

I'm really good.

Yeah, good shit!

My first impression with the weight of the stones…

You know, it wasn't that heavy.

It wasn't gonna feel heavy at first, but it would…

You know, it would slowly dawn on me how heavy it was.

Not about how long I could hold it, okay? So…

Yeah, I was… I was still very confident. Very confident.

- I lost my hook grip. Shoot. - Hurry.

You have to tuck it under.

Now don't move, okay?

And the thumbs down is weird.

Before we started, I went over the hook grip.

We'll need a hook grip hold.

Coat your whole hand in chalk,

- then tuck your thumb in so it sticks. - Okay, I see.

When you're holding on to something like a barbell or ring,

you want to tuck your thumb into your palm so your hold feels more secure.

That's why I suggested starting with the hook grip.

That way when there's tension, it's harder to let go.

Keep the hook grip, okay?

But Min-Jae struggled with it at first.

In ssireum, everyone always grabs with their thumbs out.

That's the standard grip position.

So the hook grip felt really weird.

However, since this was an overhand ring grip,

I went with Eun-sil's suggestion.

There we go.

Bro, center.

Bro, center.

Oh, they're starting to slip over there. Look.

- All right, good job! - The Philippines is starting to slip!

Just hold steady.

Find your base.

Bro.

Your left side. Your left side.

Your left side.

- Yo. - That's better, that's better.

Yo.

That's better, that's better. That's better.

Good work. Yep. Keep it up.

I think it really hurt us early on when we were conducting the challenge.

Because Justin's not a strongman athlete,

so I have to tell him, get the balance,

find the center, um, and then hold it from there.

Now hold it.

So we are trying to readjust our body

just to get the center of the totem hold.

All day, guys, all day. You got this, come on.

You've easily got this.

I got you.

- Yeah, I'm all right. - We're good.

We'll alternate if you need to. Just let us know.

Yeah, take it for a sec?

Yep, got it.

That's it. That's it, just keep doing that.

You're killing it, boys. Keep it up.

- I'm struggling. - Already?

- Yeah, it's the arm strain. - Just…

Min-jae's face looks red.

Breathe, Min-jae. Okay.

It was hard. It just got heavier and heavier.

- Don't worry, I feel it too. - Oh, yeah? Which side?

- I feel it on both sides. - Yeah.

It was challenging.

I didn't know how long I could last standing still,

so I tried shifting my weight a bit.

- Why don't we each take a side? - How?

Which is your good side?

I don't know. Wait, I think my left side's weaker.

- I'll start left and then swap right. - Okay.

We can shift our positions. Here, like…

- Like this? - Yeah.

- Like this? - Yeah.

Let's see. Left, right. Oh, they're taking sides.

The way they lean their hips must be a good idea.

Their wrists get enough of a break so they can hold on longer.

Come on, Min-jae.

Come on, you two.

It's a battle of the wills, guys. Come on.

You know you've got this.

- Relax for a second? - Yep.

I've got it.

So, my left forearm here,

I've got issues with one of my fingers, so I can't fully grasp the, uh, the handle.

Lucky for me, Rob took the weight

just for a fraction of a second… …to release my arm again.

It was really, really challenging in that regard.

But Rob, yeah, once again, back, forth, back, forth.

We just kept alternating the load between the two of us.

- Beautiful work. - Come on!

Keep adjusting, that's good.

Readjusting.

You guys are not even moving. Roman statues, good job.

This is pain. Keep it going!

- Fight through it! - Fight through it!

Pain, boys, pain!

Five minutes.

Oh! Team Philippines is shaking again.

It's getting heavier.

I'm holding it, bro.

Are you holding it? It's getting heavier.

I'm holding it, really.

- You're doing great, guys. - Yeah.

Philippines is struggling.

- Guys, keep holding, keep holding. - Come on! We want that feeling. Come on!

They're starting to struggle, guys.

Stay centered. Come on, stay centered.

Thanks, bro.

Thanks, bro.

Ah, that feels way better.

Yeah.

Yep, adjust.

- Get stable again, good. - Good.

Good, yeah.

Cillian,

Solana,

Hadassah,

Jaxson.

I could tell that we were coming slightly off balance,

and one side was feeling a lot heavier than the other.

So the mind-set there was just, you know, hold on,

and at least wait for one team to… to draw out.

Shit.

I think he's struggling.

Hey, could you pull right a little bit more?

Your right side.

Pretend it's the last game, guys!

You guys are killing it up there! Just keep holding!

I'm starting to sweat, man.

Okay, now left side.

A bit more.

All right, got it.

Let's stay like this.

We'll hold it here.

We just need to get second. Please, guys.

- They're struggling, boys! - Come on!

You've got this!

F***. My left arm, man.

- I gotta rest, bro, my left arm's gone. - Yep. Yep, yep.

Deep breath, yeah? That's it.

Slow.

You can outlast them.

- You've got this, boys! That's it! - There you go.

Just hold on a little longer, okay? You're doing great!

- Come on! - You'll get through this!

I promise!

Go, boys. You got this. All day, man! All day!

All day, let's go! All day.

All day. Let's go, guys.

You've got this!

You've got this!

You're not giving up.

He looks stressed. I think he's struggling a lot.

He looks exhausted.

Come on, you two. Just hang on for a bit longer.

- They're struggling, boys. - Come on!

You've got this.

- You've got this, yes. - Just hold on a bit longer, okay?

You're with her right now.

You've got her, Ray. You're with her.

Telling myself that it's really light.

All you have to do is hold it as long as I can.

Australia's shaking.

A little bit of pain, boys!

- You've got that mental battle. - Fight through!

Fight through the pain, boys!

Fight through it!

Fight on, Kim Min-jae!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

- You too, Eun-sil! Fight on! - Fight on!

Fight on!

Fight on!

Philippines is struggling.

- Are they? - Uh-huh.

Let's go, boys. You guys got this. Thumbs up.

Hold it, Justin.

Slow it down. Deep breaths, brother. Deep breaths.

Hold it!

Min-jae, the team to your right is shaky!

They're struggling, so don't give up.

We just need to hold out a little bit longer.

The Philippines won't last.

Their rugby player is gonna break any second now.

It's almost over, you two.

I just had to stay strong.

Bro, your right. I need help.

Your right.

Your right.

Any second now, okay?

- You can do it! - Just a little bit more!

Eun-sil, my left hand's slipping.

- Your left? - Yeah.

Okay, I've got it. Switch back to a hook grip. That's it.

Hook grip. Come on, hook grip.

Okay, now hold it steady while I fix mine.

- There we go. - All right, other side.

- Okay, you go first. - Okay, going.

All right, and holding.

- Got it. - You got it? Okay, my turn.

- Okay! - Okay, my turn.

Okay!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Oh, oh, oh!

Team Philippines is close!

- Bro. - Hold it!

Hold it!

Their right side's nearly shot, guys!

Their grip is slipping, boys. You've got this.

Yes, Justin. Yes, Ray. Good job.

Yes, Ray, keep it up.

Hold it strong. You're the world's strongest man.

Let's go!

You are too, Justin. Keep it together!

Now, we'll keep it… keep it like we are. We're doing good.

I can hold this.

We need these points, boys.

- We need these points. - We need these points.

We're gonna get these three points, homie.

Don't give up! Go, Eun-sil! Go, Min-jae!

Bro, my hand's about to come off.

My hand's about to come off. This side! This side!

Bro, my hand's about to come off.

My hand's about to come off. This side! This side!

My hand's about to come off. This side! This side!

My hand's about to come off. This side, this side!

- This side… - No, don't…

- This side… - No, don't…

No, don't…

Ah, f***!

Lean forward!

All right!

Yeah! That's it!

- You can win this! - Let's go.

- Don't give up! - Let's go, Min-jae!

- You hear me? Don't give up! - Keep pushing, guys! Come on! Come on!

Let's go!

- Yes! - Yes, one down!

- Hold it! Hold it! - Hold! Hold!

I f****** live here!

I couldn't hold on. I slipped.

Not that easy.

Are you okay?

- Yes, uh… - Yeah, I keep on pulling it.

Couldn't do it.

We didn't really hit our limit.

Yeah, it was quite premature when it ended.

It's just the jolting caused, um, loosening of the grip.

But again, in the end, this is team effort,

so i-it is the two of us

failing this, uh, second round.

Ten minutes.

Number one in Korea means number one in Asia!

- That's right! - Let's show them!

- Steel your bodies! Steel your mind! - Fight on!

We can do it, Min-jae.

I believe in you.

- Come on! - Yeah.

- Good shit, Rob. - Let's go, boys.

Good shit, Eloni! Come on!

Let's go, boys.

You want to finish and be satisfied. Come on!

Australia's wavering.

Let's go!

Don't give up! You can win this!

Till the day the waters Of the East Sea run dry

And Mount Baekdusan is worn away

Till the day the waters Of the East Sea run dry

And Mount Baekdusan is worn away

God protect and preserve our nation Hooray to Korea!

Of splendid rivers and mountains

Covered with mugunghwa blossoms

They had to be exhausted,

but they just kept holding on.

And then they sang.

I had goose bumps.

You could feel the determination.

These are the moments where Korea's teamwork shines.

Easy!

Please, Eun-sil…

- This is too easy, right? - Push, push, push…

- Look, Australia's moving! - Oh! Whittaker's gonna tap out!

Give us a second.

Give us a second.

- Push through… - You've come this far…

- …push through. - …you can hold on a little bit more.

Don't regret… No regrets, guys, no regrets!

Whittaker's struggling! Don't give up! He's gonna break!

- Man, I'm so proud of 'em! - I know, right?

Stay focused, you guys!

A little longer!

- You gonna readjust? - Can I readjust?

You okay? You okay?

- You good? - Yeah, I'm good. You?

- Just my left hand. - Yep. You good?

- Good. - Yeah, we're good.

Yeah, you're killing it. Keep it up, keep it up.

Come on, boys, you're strong!

That's not painful, boys.

Let's show them this, come on!

That is not painful.

Min-jae, my hand!

- It's my left arm. Just a sec… - We are winning!

She's losing her grip.

- She's losing her grip. - Show them we're the strongest here!

Come on!

Min-jae, my hand!

- It's my left arm. - Hold on.

Give it a tug.

A little more, little more…

Smart, the readjusting, how they readjust.

- And how they're shifting their hips. - Mmm.

- Wow. - They're insane!

- I know! Just look at 'em go! - Crazy.

- They might just win. Let's go, guys! - I know!

- I can't believe it… - Let's go!

One more pull? Got it.

- Oh, no! - No!

Even if it meant ripping the skin of my palms apart,

I refused to let go of the ring.

Hold!

That's right, guys! Don't let go!

- Stay! - Good job!

- Stay strong! - Your strategy's working, guys!

You've come this far! Don't give up now!

- Come on, you can win this! So win this! - That's right.

- Come on! First place, guys! - First place!

Don't give up!

Come on, Whittaker!

Come on, Australia!

Fifteen minutes.

Let's go, Korea!

Let's go, Korea!

Such a massive PB.

Amazing.

You've got this, boys.

- Good job, Rob. - Let's go!

Come on, just a bit more.

- Can I readjust? - Yeah, okay.

Hold it.

- They're almost out! - Whittaker's flagging!

- He's exhausted. - He's almost done!

- You good? - Yep, yeah, I'm back.

- Good adjustment. - Great stuff, great stuff.

It's gonna be close! It's really close!

You're killing it, boys. Keep it up, come on!

Just a few more minutes!

Eun-sil, my left…

- My left hand's slipping! I can't… - No, no, no, wait, wait!

- My left hand's slipping! I can't… Can't… - No, no, no, wait, wait!

Ah, shit.

It's okay, guys. We got second, we're good.

All right team! That's how you do it!

- There we go! - Yes! Yes!

- Let's go! - You won, boys. You won!

We'll stay here all day. All day!

F****** oath, hundred percent!

I live here, brother.

I live here, brother!

- I'm sorry. - Don't apologize.

I lost my grip too.

Game over.

Min-jae. That was great.

Hey, Min-jae? That was amazing.

- I'm sorry. - Don't you dare. You did great.

You hear me?

In Korea, I've earned the Strongest Man Under Heaven title,

but that's not how I felt at all coming in second today.

I was disappointed in myself.

Because of our height and weight differences,

we came into this game unbalanced.

But despite that obvious challenge,

Min-jae was great. He would adjust to help me,

and I'd adjust to help him.

So even though we got second,

that's a win in my book.

Because we were able to outlast the Philippines, we recovered a few points.

- Three, two, one, let's celebrate! - Let's go.

- Three, two, one, let's celebrate! - Let's go.

Beast!

That really knocked 'em out.

First place, Australia.

Team Australia has now scored three additional points.

We need the win, and we need Australia to come second.

Yeah I know, I thought about that too.

The 'effing story… the story is going crazy.

Australia won the second and the first event.

Korea won, uh, came second.

It still gave us an opportunity to still strike.

Korea was still within striking distance,

particularly if we went well in the third event.

After each game, I'd review all the hypotheticals.

After game 2, Australia has six points.

Even if they place third next game, they'll still have the lead.

Right now, our team has four points, and the Philippines has two.

The only scenario that I wanted us to avoid,

was the Philippines getting first, and us getting third.

Even if we get third, as long as Team Philippines doesn't get first,

it's more than likely that we'll advance.

Contestants, the third game

of the Team Representative Match will begin shortly.

Okay! Whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

- Oh. - Oh, rings? Sick.

Rings?

Rings?

- Are those rings? - Looks like it.

- Ring! - What are they for?

Why are there rings?

Different heights of the hooks.

I know, right? So, like, what's the point of the tall one?

Why are they different lengths?

Hands up there, and feet down low.

So, one hand, one foot?

Or maybe two and two?

Physical: Asia.

Team Representative Match, Game 3:

Hanging Endurance.

They each had four rings,

and then they were on long straps

and we could only assume cause two were higher two were lower

that two would be for your feet, and two would be for your hands.

This is different to kind of what people expected, I think.

Let me explain the game in more detail.

Hanging Endurance

is a game in which players suspend themselves via hanging ropes.

To do so, they will hold two of the rings with their hands,

while using the other two rings as supportive footholds.

However, holding one ring with two hands,

or hooking one ring around both feet, is not allowed.

Oh, so it's hands and feet.

Hands and feet.

So we're testing core strength, and balance.

After a certain amount of time has passed,

players must release one of their hands.

After some more time has passed, they will be asked to change their positions.

For this game of the Team Representative Match,

the following players have been chosen.

Team Australia: Alexandra.

ALEXANDRA FITNESS COACH

- Let's go, Alex. - Yes, Alex!

- That's our girl! - Let's go!

I thought that Alex

might do better

because of her body weight.

She was the lightest out of the three athletes.

It would just come down to how strong she was mentally.

Team Korea: Choi Seung-yeon.

- All right, Seung-yeon! - You're number one!

Number one in Asia!

Seung-yeon has the best mental fortitude of any athlete.

So, in my mind, there was no way she could possibly lose.

And Team Philippines: Mark Mugen.

MARK MUGEN NATIONAL TEAM SAMBO ATHLETE

- Let's go, Mark. - Let's go, Mark!

- Let's go, bro. Come on. - You've got this!

Mark had extremely good core strength

coming from a grappling background.

Despite the disadvantage in weight,

this could be overcome with his skills in… in maintaining core strength.

Stand by.

I knew for this next challenge that I needed to win.

I have to perform, or else we're gonna get eliminated

and we won't even go to the next challenge, so…

I'm gonna win this challenge,

and if I have to stay there forever, I'll do it.

When you get down to it, it's just a battle of endurance.

Whoever can hold out the longest will win.

It's all psychological and, luckily, I've got a strong mentality,

so I'm ready.

I plan on being the last one standing.

I want to be a key essential player in our team,

and I'm honestly not up there.

I want to ensure that I'm a essential part of our team,

so I'm going to die on these rings before I give up.

That's it, bring your feet in.

Nice, Mark.

Ready.

Don't forget to breathe.

- Let's go, Alex! - Oh, okay, Mark!

Let's go, Alex!

That's a great tech.

Great pose, great pose.

Let's go, Seung-yeon!

Looking good!

Find a sweet spot.

Nice one, brother. Find that sweet spot.

Just settle in, Alex. You're doing great!

It's okay if you need to adjust. Get comfy.

When I first grabbed the rings I thought,

"Shit, this is harder than… than it, than it looks."

Cause this is full body,

and this is so weird with the balance, with my feet.

I've never done anything like this. It's completely unfamiliar.

It was nerve-wracking. You don't realize

how much strain it puts on your body until you have to find your balance.

Great tech.

- Great tech. - Great technique with your feet.

Brilliant stuff, Alex. You already look more stable than anyone.

Great technique, Alex.

- Really good, Alex. - Beautiful.

I looked and I saw her strategy,

and I copied her strategy.

And then once I locked my legs down, I felt comfortable,

and I was able to stabilize and then find my comfortable position.

- The other two crossed their feet! - You're doing great!

Copy their form if you can!

Try crossing your feet! See if it helps.

There's no penalty for copying,

so keep watching them.

Nice!

Crossing my feet was a game-changer.

It was easier on my body, which made me less anxious.

All right, good. Now you're all the same.

Just settle in, Alex!

You're doing great! Beautiful!

Just do whatever feels comfortable, okay?

Stay still, Mark, stay still.

Mark, you're chillin'.

Listen to your body and adjust as you go.

You're doing great up there!

That's it. Find your happy place, Alex.

That's it, settle in. Zen in, zen in.

Fantastic work, Alex.

Five minutes.

Great stuff, Alex. Great stuff.

What was that? Ten minutes?

- Five. - Five?

That was five.

That's funny.

That five minutes felt like 50.

- It's my adductors. - Abs?

No, my adductors burn.

Adductors? Oh, okay. She's a little sore.

- Like right here? Okay, okay. - Yeah.

On occasion, I've tried similar exercises at the gym.

The ones where I move my feet while holding my body up.

The bulk of the exercise comes from trying to keep your feet

from splitting apart, so it really strains your adductors.

It's a really difficult exercise.

Ten minutes.

Oh, man. This is hard to watch.

Who came up with this game?

They look like they're dying.

I think these types of "breaking point" challenges are cruel.

Twenty minutes.

Oh, yeah!

Okay! Let's go!

Yeah, Seung-yeon!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

Whoa!

Look! The red girl is shaking a lot.

- Australia's unsteady. - Oh! She's struggling!

Australia's unsteady.

Oh! She's struggling! She might drop.

Okay, I don't know if she can re-cross her feet.

I think her thighs are shot.

She keeps trying to cross them,

but she's having trouble locking her foot in place.

She keeps slipping.

I'm the most one moving

cause your legs just are cramping up, your feet are dying.

So every time I was readjusting,

it was actually nice to get some movement in.

Fantastic work, Alex. That's our girl!

Yes, Alex!

I'm looking over at the Philippines and Korean team,

they're literally like statues.

They're not even moving. It's not even fazing them at all,

and I'm like,

"What the heck?"

I look over and I'm getting so angry.

I was like, in so much pain.

I'm gonna be up here forever.

They're gonna be up here for hours.

If Australia gets third…

It's good for us.

It works in our favor.

- She's gonna fall soon. - We need it.

Mark looks like he's falling asleep.

Philippines' guy looks comfy as shit.

Bro, he ain't moving.

Too easy, bro. Just relax.

He's the statue of David right now.

You're the only one not moving.

- You're like a rock. - Keep it steady, Mark.

Keep it steady.

The guy from Team Philippines had gotten comfy up there,

almost too comfy.

I had to accept that Team Philippines had a good chance

of actually winning this.

And that meant we had to beat Australia.

It'll be harder when you're down a hand.

So just mentally prepare yourself for that.

You're doing great!

Just outlast one!

Just relax! You've got the right position,

- all you gotta do is hold it. - You're more stable than the other two.

That's our Number One!

My teammates were trying to encourage me

by saying I looked more secure than anyone else.

But on the inside, everything was burning.

From twenty-minutes onward,

every inch of my body was screaming in pain.

And since it looked like Team Philippines could hold on forever,

I narrowed my focus. I just had to beat Team Australia.

Twenty-nine minutes.

Twenty-nine minutes!

In one minute, all contestants must release one of their hands.

Be aware which one you want to let go.

Pick an arm.

Start working out what arm you're gonna let… use.

Start working out what arm are you gonna use?

Australia's in trouble once you're down to one hand.

Start feeling it out. Decide which one's easier to let go of.

Think about what you're going to move. Which arm,

and how you're gonna stabilize it.

Choose whichever side has better balance.

Everyone's legs are starting to go.

- Hang in there! - Let's go!

Coming up on that half-hour mark.

Get ready bro, it's gonna be 30 minutes soon. You got it, bro.

Don't over think it. You know what to do.

Just try to think about something else!

One hand off.

One hand off.

Let go. Let go.

There you go! That's it!

Beautiful.

You're the best, Alex.

One hand off.

Oh! Oh!

Balance, balance!

Philippines might fall!

He's going! He's off-balance!

I think he might be a goner.

- Oh, watch out! - C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

Stay focused, Eun-sil! Don't worry!

Mark is in a f***** position.

Just fall, please? Come on…

Oh, that's a hard position.

Oh, he's gonna get fouled.

You've got it, Mark! Nice recovery, Mark!

- Nice, bro, yeah! - Nice!

Nice one, Mark.

Well done, Mark. That was awesome.

Beautiful.

I…

My feet were so painful.

Everything was going numb and my legs and my feet were in so much pain.

I was trying to keep a poker face and pretend that it wasn't painful for me,

but I was… I was in a lot of pain.

I was just trying to do poker face

because I also had to win for my team.

Of course. They're counting on me.

Okay, Team Philippines is scrambling a bit.

- But you're good! - You're doing great!

Just push through it, Seung-yeon!

Stay zen, stay on.

Just breathe, breathe.

You're doing amazing.

It was a rough transition,

but all three of them figured it out.

They all looked unfazed up there,

like they were content to dangle forever.

I can't imagine how tired they are.

They're gonna be so sore after this.

How slowly the time was going by.

It really felt like some kind of medieval torture.

Or like some Shaolin-monk training in the mountains.

It was a battle of the mind and just pain endurance.

Sixty minutes.

That's one hour.

Way to go! One whole hour!

Fighting, Choi!

Oh, you guys are amazing. All three of you, killing it.

Right.

- Yeah. - Unbelievable amount of time.

Nice job, Choi Seung-yeon! Let's…

Oh, wait! I think she's gonna fall!

Oh, wait! I think she's gonna fall! She's falling!

- Come on! - Hang on, Seung-yeon!

Red's flailing! Keep holding on!

F*** me.

Whoa, whoa! Her legs split!

I think this is the end.

- She's trying to adjust. - She's moving too much.

Let's go!

Yes, here we go, you've got this. Keep fighting.

Okay, okay. She's a goner.

She's a goner!

Let's go!

Let's go, Seung-yeon!

It's all right. It's all right.

- Take your time. - Readjust, readjust.

This is it! She's going! She's going!

Just fall.

Yeah, good.

Wow. No way…

- Yes! - There you go.

That's our girl, come on!

Lock 'em back in.

Man, I really thought she was gonna fall.

Come on, please fall.

Safe!

- Chi-Chiller! - Outstanding!

That girl was unbelievable.

After so many close-calls, I couldn't believe she was still up.

I'd been too optimistic,

which made me all the more anxious as I kept watching.

Please, please.

Seung-yeon, please. Push.

We need you to get second.

I know it's hard, but we need this.

You can do it!

I needed to distract myself,

so I just fixated on Australia.

And just kept waiting for her to fall.

This game is absolute hell.

It started feeling like hell from 20 minutes,

so I'm literally taking it second by second.

F***.

And I don't know how much more I can do of it.

Even watching this feels like some kind of torture.

One mistake.

One mistake.

140 minutes.

Wow!

- Wow, good job, everyone. - Yeah!

- They're all insane! - Great job!

I can't watch this anymore.

Go, Seung-yeon!

At this point in the game,

- everyone must uncross their feet. - Whoa!

From now on, if one foot touches the other,

you will be eliminated

- from the game. - Wow!

This might end within the next few minutes.

Or even the next few seconds. Just keep holding!

You've got it, Mark! You've got this, Mark.

I got nervous.

I knew that that's when the real game would start.

At that point,

I knew someone would fall. It just couldn't be me.

When the legs split, you're on.

When legs split, that's when you win.

You're used to it, you know what to expect. They don't!

Because I'd been moving around a bit more,

and I knew how to readjust,

where I was like, I… This is where the tables turn.

Slow, slow.

Contestants, please unlock your feet.

And hold it there.

- That's it. Stay. Strong. Strong! - Yeah, nice.

You gotta unlock.

Unlock. Nice, nice!

Fight on, Seung-yeon!

- Keep focused! - That's it, your form looks great!

It's all about concentration now!

Stay with it, okay?

Yes, Alex, fight tooth and nail, right here!

You're doing great so far!

You had to kind of be in a bicep curl

and a lunge at the same time

after you'd already been exhausted for two and a half hours.

The second I unlocked, everything hit me at once.

The heaviness from the exhaustion,

the excruciating pain that shot up my legs,

it felt like my entire body was being ripped apart, limb by limb.

There!

Wow!

Nice, Mark. Come on, Mark!

Wow!

Lock that in, that's the one.

Mark, you're incredible!

It felt okay.

I knew it would be hard, but I knew I could do it.

And also some psychological games.

I wanted to show that I was strong and that I could go forever.

Don't give up!

Australia can't hold on much longer!

- Red's falling over! - She's gonna fall!

It's almost done! Just hang on till then!

You can beat her! Stay strong!

Last fight! Last fight!

She's gassing, Alex! Stay strong!

She's gassing, stay strong! Stay strong!

She's gassing.

We've got this. Easy money.

Come on, Seung-yeon! You can beat her! Just don't let go!

Lean your body forward!

A little more! Come on, come on!

They're fading! They're fading out!

They're fading, they're fading, Alex, come on!

Keep holding.

It's not far now. Not long now.

Do it for Eun-sil. Channel her strength! Just push through it!

You're almost there, Seung-yeon! She's gonna fall soon!

I just couldn't wrap my head around it.

Why was she fighting so hard?

Australia was advancing so what's the point?

I just don't want to let my team down.

I really felt like I let my team down

after that first challenge.

Cause everyone else was on there,

and I was not on there.

I just never… I knew I never wanted to feel that feeling again.

I know in the first round,

she felt like she let the team down,

even though we don't think that,

and she was there to prove her worth.

She really, really showed up on this challenge.

Do whatever you need to do to get comfortable!

Whoa! Oh, shit! Something's wrong.

Her legs are shaking, Alex!

Korea's struggling, Alex. Stay in it, Alex.

I think her foot slipped.

She's really struggling, Alex!

She's almost done, Alex. You've got this.

You have this.

Seung-yeon, don't move! Don't give up now!

No, no, she's struggling.

She's about to go, Alex!

- She's about to go! I can see her face! - She's about to go!

- Stay on, Alex, stay on, Alex! - Stay on!

- Stay in there, Alex! - Come on, Alex!

Come on, Alex.

Hang in there, okay?

She looks like she's passed out, right?

It's so close, Seung-yeon.

You're so close!

Seung-yeon! Fight on!

Fight on!

Just a little longer, I promise.

Oh, she's done, Alex, she's done!

Fight, Alex, fight!

You can do it!

You can do it!

She's done! Yeah!

Amazing, Seung-yeon!

Well done, Choi. Well done, Choi.

That was incredible! Well done, Seung-yeon!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- Nice. - Well done, Mark!

Well done, Mark!

- Yeah! - Yeah! Yeah!

Yes, Alex!

Nice, nice.

Yes!

Oh, my God.

I felt amazing when they all came running towards me

and we were all celebrating.

It was… It was awesome.

And I knew that, you know, we did it.

And now the score is tied. Five points for Philippines, five points for Korea,

so now it's, uh, it's game time.

I'm so f****** proud of you.

Oh, my God!

- Outstanding. - Look at you being amazing!

You're an animal, you're an animal!

- You're an animal! - Look at you being amazing!

- Oh, my God. You did so well. - You're an animal!

So well!

So well.

Are you okay? You did great.

- I'm so sorry. - What are you talking about?

Don't you dare apologize.

You worked hard and did your best. You should be proud.

- That was two hours! - I'm so sorry, guys. Really.

- Don't say that. You lasted two hours. - You were so amazing out there.

- I couldn't have done that. - Same, same,

you did great.

Losing an individual event is one thing,

but as a team…

I think, right now,

um… I'm just feeling a tremendous amount of guilt.

Yeah. And, um…

I was trying to fix my footing in the end,

but my legs collapsed from under me.

I don't know what to say.

I'm just really sorry.

All I can do now…

is cheer for Amotti.

And then, in the next round,

I can maybe make it up to everyone.

I don't think I expected that kind of reaction from Seung-yeon.

It was already hard to see her cry,

but she kept apologizing.

It just broke my heart.

I know Seung-yeon gave the challenge her all today.

Even when her legs were buckling, she was trying her best to hold on.

She shouldn't have any regrets about what she did. We're all proud of her.

She really was incredible.

I hope she knows that.

1ST: 8 POINTS TIED FOR 2ND: 5 POINTS

These are the current team standings.

- In first place, Team Australia… - Yeah, boy!

…eight points.

TEAM AUSTRALIA SECURES SURVIVAL

And tied for second,

Team Korea and Team Philippines, five points.

Neck and neck.

All comes down to this.

Death match!

That's the only chance that we have.

With that victory in challenge number three,

we were confident going into challenge number four.

Of course, we… we can't afford to lose.

We didn't come this far to lose.

And we're ready to show everyone else what we're made of.

I was trying to stay level headed,

but I was getting anxious.

It almost felt like I was being haunted by

the nightmares of last season.

I knew I was being paranoid,

but it felt like I was cursed.

I believe in Amotti.

I think anyone who saw last season

knows that he's someone you can put all of your trust in.

I was ready to see Amotti beat Team Philippines.

Team Representative Match: Game 4.

Those selected for the Sack Toss, please enter the arena.

The game will begin momentarily.

All right, let's bring it in, okay?

It's possible that this'll be our last match,

so let's give it our all, no regrets.

You guys ready?

- Korea! - Fight on!

- You've got this! - Let's go!

- Cattle! - Dog!

Yes, let's go, Eddie!

Come on, Eddie. This is your time!

- Let's fight! - Philippines!

Let's go! Come on!

- Let's go! - Get it!

Easy.

The future of Team Philippines is on the line here.

The fate of our team lies with me today.

So I have to win.

I really have to give it my best, my everything.

Now then, let me explain the game in more detail.

Sack Toss is a game where the players pass a sack around

by tossing it over a hurdle and onto their opponent's side.

Each pass must occur within thirty seconds.

In any instance

where a player is unable to pass the ball in the given time limit,

that player, regardless of the next player's outcome,

will be eliminated from the game.

Another endurance battle.

And a timed game too.

If the game continues with no losses,

the weight of the sacks will start to increase.

- Oh, nice, nice. - Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Eddie, prove to them

that you're strong and fit.

You've got this.

I want it heavier.

If the game still continues with no losses,

the time limit will start to decrease.

Cool.

So it's strength and endurance, also.

Yes.

He's good with endurance because he does triathlon.

He was the fittest, uh, CrossFitter in the Philippines.

JUSTIN HERNANDEZ CROSSFIT ATHLETE

I am first and only Filipino CrossFit Games male athlete.

Aside from that, I used to do bodybuilding,

and I do other sports like triathlons,

so you can call me a hybrid athlete.

I was excited to show everyone

why I am the only Filipino male CrossFit Games athlete.

That guy's ripped, just look at him.

He's got a pretty solid physique all-around.

Look at the size of him, he's a CrossFitter.

- Got more mass than Amotti. - Looks fit too.

We've got this.

He's the best guy from the Philippines for this challenge, bro.

Before we begin, you will randomly select your starting position.

SACK TOSS ORDER DRAW

One, Eddie?

What number, Justin?

You're third, right, Amotti?

All right, excellent.

EDDIE, HERNANDEZ, AMOTTI

- Nice, Eddie. - Nice.

Let's go, Eddie, have some fun, brother!

Have some fun!

Let's go, Justin, brother!

You've got the power.

Let's go!

Bring it home, okay?

- Got your position? - Yep.

Okay, now practice.

- Your form looks great! - All righty, here we go!

Let's go! Don't be nervous!

Once we know which country will be eliminated,

the match will come to an end.

If one of us is in third, us or the Philippines, the game will end.

Please, please, please…

Now then… Team Representative Match, Game 4:

Sack Toss.

The match will begin at the sound of the whistle.

- Okay! Let's go, Amotti! Fight on! - Fight on!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

I mean, it's not like it'll kill me,

so who cares if I wreck my body a bit.

I was going to give it everything.

We're going to show them that… Not to mess with Australia.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's go!

- Let's go, Justin! - Let's go!

- Come on! Come on, brother! - This is you!

I am determined, I have the fighting spirit,

and then I'm not gonna give up, no matter what, until I get this win.

Stand by.

Ready…

Let's go, Eddie.

- Come on, baby! - Come on, Eddie.

Let's go, Eddie.

- Come on, baby! - Come on, Eddie.

- Easy money. - Easy money.

He throws extremely well.

When I saw the sandbag and I lifted it up,

I got excited 'cause it felt lighter.

I thought it was like, a five-kilo bag of rice.

The 14 kilogram sack, it felt right.

It wasn't that heavy, but it wasn't light either.

Oh, shit.

- Oh, shit. - Get it, bro. Get it, quick!

- Come on, bro. - Closer, Justin.

That's the challenging part.

I think it's the height that you have to throw the sack.

Wait, I think Justin might miss again.

Come on, please, please, please.

And when I threw it, I went really hard

and then the ball passed the hurdle pretty easily.

- Yeah! - Nice!

Hips high!

- Nice! - Yeah!

It really felt easy in the beginning.

It honestly wasn't that hard.

It's all good.

- Oh, shoot. It's all good. - It's all good. It's fine, it's fine.

But as you start to play,

you realize that timing matters just as much as technique.

- Good throw, Amotti. - There you go.

- Good throw. - You've got it down now.

You got this.

Thankfully, the constant repetition meant

I could improve while I played.

Let's go, Eddie.

Clockwork, Eddie, just breathe.

Perfect rainbow.

Just use your hips!

High hip, Justin, high hips.

Hips!

Nice!

Yeah! Get closer!

- That was a high one! Nice! - Let's go!

- Let's go. That's our boy. - Boom!

- Let's go, Justin! - Yeah!

- Okay, okay. - Nice job!

It all comes down to pacing.

- Pacing? - Yeah.

- It doesn't matter how heavy the sack is. - It's all endurance.

It's going to be long. It's going to be a long game.

Very good.

Wow!

Ah, too high, Eddie.

- Wow! - Ah, too high, Eddie.

- Too high, too high. - Perfect.

It looks so much, like, less than 14 kilos when he throws it.

Wow. It looks weightless.

Now he has to go run and grab it.

All that running will wear him down.

It goes so far away.

Good, good, good, good.

I'm just unlucky that I'm, like,

in the number two station

which is where Eddie throws his ball.

He always throws the ball so far.

Let's go, Justin!

Go, Justin. You got this.

So, Eddie, he make… he made it harder for me.

- Nice! - Nice, brother.

Nice, Justin.

Keep the pace, keep the pace.

Great job, Justin. Keep it up.

- That's it! - Great!

So high, Amotti.

Nice!

Starting now, you will continue to play

with a heavier bag.

- Heavier ball? - Heavier ball?

Eddie, you look outstanding.

You look so good.

Let's go, Eddie, let's go.

Let's go, Eddie, let's go.

Nice! Nice!

Let's go, Eddie, let's go.

They're having fun.

Let's go, Justin, doesn't matter bro. You've done this before.

- Same technique. Same technique. - Yep. Easy.

Stand by.

- Okay, I can do this. - Yeah, you got this.

Ready…

Let's go, Eddie!

- Yeah! - Wow!

- Oops. - Wow!

- Yeah! - That's what I wanna see!

- Yes, Eddie! - Wow.

It looked so easy for Eddie.

I was no match for him.

Eddie was throwing the ball really well,

and he's really just that strong and he never committed any mistakes.

- Yep! - So I just realized

that it's gonna be a match between me and Amotti.

Get closer!

Get a feel for the weight first.

- Take your time. - There you go.

- Let's go, Amotti. Come on. - Take your time.

Come on. That's our chance, man.

One bad throw, then another,

and all of a sudden, these negative thoughts just start to flood my brain.

- It's okay, just stay calm. - Don't let it get to you.

- Fight on! - You're good.

Eddie, Amotti's gassing.

Like, this is already…

- This is already at that. - He's gassing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good, swing twice, and then throw!
