Let's go!

All right, let's do this.

Let's do it, let's do it.

-Yes! -What have we got?

What is this?

-What's this? -What are these?

Is that ropes?

-What's that? -Aren't those ropes?

I see boxes.

What do we have here?

There were two ropes each

and a box of some sort.

They're ropes.

Is it a pulling game?

It must be a strength game.

It's a pulling game.

A dark room, and there are four lanes.

And I'm like, "There's got to be more."

What if we're standing on there?

What if our team's standing on this?

We have to drag it across the thing?

Maybe it weighs like a ton or something.

Perhaps it's a game of endurance?

Like holding out to not get dragged.

Could it be one player from each team pulling against the other?

I've never seen this before.

The fourth quest of Physical: Asia is…

Listen up.

What could it be?

…the battle rope relay.

…the battle rope relay.

A battle rope relay?

-Oh my god. -Really?

Battle rope relay.

This is crazy!

That's insane.

This is going to strain our shoulders.

-You've got to really work your arms. -I could work with that.

-Are you serious? -You're kidding me.

Isn't this a team challenge?

I've trained with ropes in Mongolia.

It looked similar to a workout I do regularly.

Battle ropes are something we do a lot in wrestling training,

so I'm pretty good at it.

I'm putting everything on the line this time.

These ropes? You've f****** got this.

I have done some battle ropes before.

A lot of stuff that is arm endurance,

so I think I'd still probably be pretty decent.

It's brutal on the arms.

We're okay with that, right?

MMA fighters train with battle ropes regularly.

It's one of the most terrifying workouts that absolutely obliterates your arms.

In the battle rope relay,

you will whip the ropes up and down

to strike a device attached to the end.

The red thing? We'll need to hit it super fast.

Keep the swings fast and tight!

Use both arms!

Come on, work both of your arms!

You're not hitting it! You're not hitting it!

Hits will only count if the force delivered to the device

meets the required threshold.

We've got to hit it right.

We'll need to go hard enough to hit the device.

Bang, bang, bang.

-Or you could do twos. -Yeah.

Here is how the contestants will be selected.

In the battle rope relay, each six-person team will select…

three representatives to participate.

-Three players! -Three players.

Three players?

Three players.

Then what do the remaining three do?

What about the other three?

Only three players per team were meant to participate.

I found it odd that not everyone was playing.

There had to be some big reason only three were playing.

That was my assumption.

The three representatives will take turns

to play in a predetermined order,

and the players must switch every minute.

-One minute. -One minute is tough.

When we train before a judo match,

we usually do battle ropes but for only 20 to 30 seconds.

A minute? That's intense.

A whole minute of battle ropes? I know I'll be wiped out.

It's gonna come down to fitness.

And strength.

When it's time to switch,

you will hear a "change" announcement.

The players must switch within ten seconds.

"Change."

The quest will consist of two rounds.

The first round will last for five minutes.

So two players will have to go twice.

All four countries will compete in the first round,

and only the two highest-scoring teams will advance to the second round.

Sick.

The second round will last for four minutes.

Only one player will go twice.

The country with the higher hit count after the game

will be the winner.

Only the country that wins first place in the battle rope relay…

will advance directly to the fifth quest.

Directly.

Goes straight to the fifth quest.

The other three teams will have to play again.

What a sick challenge.

-Yeah. -Fun.

The losers are bound for the Death Match.

Only the winning team will advance to the fifth quest.

That means the other three teams

will be fighting it out in some other match.

Ultimately, we'd need to win first place to advance.

The best-case scenario would be to secure the win and advance directly.

Each country will now select three representatives

and their order of play for the battle rope relay.

Just clean up.

Just absolutely decimate this first one.

So we need our strongest.

You three.

You, you, you. What do you think?

Yup.

-Sure, let's do that. -Yup.

My mind's always a little bit skeptical.

If we did lose, whether we should keep one boy out

just in case of what the next thing is.

There'll be something.

Yeah, there's gonna be something after this.

But not overawed at all.

I've got full confidence and faith in my team.

So we're gonna go for it.

We're gonna send in our biggest and fastest guys

who are gonna be able to win us

the most amount of repetitions for this quest.

Because that's how we picked our side.

Let's go straight to quest five.

Are you good at this, Nonoka?

I'm pretty good.

How about putting in Nonoka?

If we lose the first match and have to compete again,

we don't want to put ourselves at a disadvantage for the next one.

So we were discussing whether to include one of the girls.

Wait.

It's Whittaker.

They're sending in all the guys.

Are they?

We noticed that Team Australia

had built its lineup around fighters known for strength and speed,

and Whittaker was at the forefront.

We were torn and kept doubting our lineup till the last moment.

Team Australia's putting forward their biggest guys.

They're going all in for first place.

I'm not sure we should play all our strongest players.

We need to consider the next match too.

What do you suggest that we do?

This is about endurance. The big guys will gas out fast.

Speed and endurance will be key in this.

Lkhagva-Ochir crushed it in the previous quest

that required hand and arm strength.

So we chose him as our first player,

Enkh-Orgil as our second,

and Dulguun as our third.

Since we didn't know what the next match would be,

we decided that I'd stay behind.

We have our own strategy that we're sticking to.

Come on.

Team Australia is way too stacked.

They're sending in Eloni, Whittaker, and Eddie.

They're way too strong with those three guys.

One of the teams had gone all in.

Team Australia clearly had a stacked lineup,

and we needed to plan for a second match in case they swept this one.

I'm torn.

Going all in this time might be a good idea.

Do we go all in and hope for the win?

To be brutally honest,

I don't think we're the absolute strongest team in this.

This is a huge gamble.

The strategy meeting is over.

Three representatives from each country,

please proceed to your starting positions.

LANES WERE DETERMINED BY DRAWING LOTS

Lane one, Team Australia.

Eloni Vunakece,

Robert Whittaker,

and Eddie Williams.

I don't see how we lose this.

Let's go, boys!

-Bring it home! -Come on!

Q5, let's go straight there.

We're good at this. We know we have what it takes to do this.

We're very confident.

Lane two, Team Mongolia.

Lkhagva-Ochir Erdene-Ochir,

Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu,

and Dulguun Enkhbat.

You got this! You're strong!

Believe in yourselves!

Explosive power and grit were our strategies,

and we made tactical picks based on who fit that best.

No one can beat you three.

We're going to achieve something no one thinks is possible.

Mongolia's coming out on top.

Lane three, Team Republic of Korea.

Yun Sung-bin,

Choi Seung-yeon,

and Jang Eun-sil.

Let's go!

They got two girls.

I found it interesting that Korea put up two girls.

We have a game plan.

This is a huge gamble.

One team advances after the first match, but only three players per team?

We bet on the fact that all six players would be involved in some way.

Let's say we put our chips in the second game.

Who do we pick then?

We decided not to go all out against these stacked teams.

So our battle rope team

ended up consisting of Seung-yeon, Eun-sil, and Sung-bin.

We're strong contenders, no matter the challenge.

I believe we have a chance at winning.

Lane four, Team Japan.

Soichi Hashimoto,

Yoshio Itoi,

and Yushin Okami.

In the end,

we decided that we couldn't afford to lose this match.

We can't get to the top without beating Team Australia anyway.

The only way is to go all in and take the win.

We need to win the first match, so we're putting everything on the line.

After talking it out as a team,

we decided on our representatives for the battle rope match.

We've got solid teamwork, and we're betting everything on it to win.

The first round of the battle rope relay.

Once the whistle blows,

the match will begin.

Ready…

Grab the ropes.

PHYSICAL: ASIA

9. INESCAPABLE HELL

Ready…

Go!

-That's it! -Nice!

Come on, Eloni, let's go!

Yes, keep that pace!

All right!

-Yes! Go, Sung-bin! -Yes, that's it.

Good, that's it. Come on.

Looking good!

-Good job, brother! -You monster!

Good pace.

-Just keep it up! -Come on!

Keep up the pace! Keep it up!

Eloni, keep up the pace!

-See how he's pulling tight on it? -Yup.

Yeah, that's it, Lons. Pull tight on it.

Perfect! You're doing a perfect job!

It wasn't too bad.

I threw my weight into the ropes,

and I felt the resistance pulling me in with each swing.

You're crushing it, Sung-bin!

It was hard because the ropes were heavier than I expected.

And since I'd never done it before,

I had no idea what speed to aim for to hit the right intensity.

So I stopped worrying about speed and just whipped them.

Go! Go!

I felt a lot of pressure as the leadoff player,

so I just went full throttle from the get-go.

They're starting to struggle.

At thirty seconds in,

my arms started to feel numb and detached.

It was straining my biceps.

They were so fried that I had to rely on my shoulders

and swing both arms at the same time instead.

Slower, but it gives my arms

a rest to rip in back to the single-arm technique.

Itoi,

watch what everyone's doing.

It might be worth trying that when you're worn out.

It was frustrating because all I could do

was cheer our guys on and analyze the other teams.

Good rhythm, Eloni!

Twenty seconds! Keep going!

-Seventeen seconds! -Yes! Get those hits in!

Stay there till I tell you!

Stay there! Stay there!

-Keep it going! -Go, go! You're almost there!

Last ten seconds!

Come on! You're killing it!

Nine seconds left!

Come on!

-Six! Five! -Six! Five!

Four! Three!

Two! One! All right!

-Hey, hey! -Change.

Change.

Move, move.

I really didn't think I had another round in me.

That's it, feel the…

-Yeah! Nice, Robbie! -Come on, yes!

Rob, holy shit! Oh my god!

His speed was phenomenal when watching.

Just spectacular to watch as well.

-That's it! -That's good.

Whittaker's doing well.

Team Australia was on another level.

You couldn't even see the ropes.

He was whipping the ropes almost twice as fast as we were.

Man, that Mongolian MMA fighter is good.

Enkh-Orgil has got serious grit,

and he clearly proved it in the match.

He was super fast, and I believed we had a fighting chance.

That's it! You're crushing it!

Look at Itoi go.

That's a good pace, Itoi!

There were times when it looked like the ropes weren't hitting the device,

so I pulled my arms in close

and focused on making compact, fast movements.

You're hitting it just right. That's it!

Keep your movements tighter, Seung-yeon!

Amazing! Keep doing what you're doing.

Use both arms at the same time!

Rip it, Rob!

Keep going!

Thirty seconds, Rob! You're halfway!

-Thirty seconds, let's go! -Thirty seconds! Rob!

Thirty seconds! Come on!

That's it, Enkh-Orgil! You're on fire!

Slam those ropes!

I checked the time, and I was only five seconds in.

After what felt like thirty seconds, I checked again.

Another five seconds.

Every second dragged on.

Come on! All or nothing!

You've got it, boy!

That's it! Just keep that going!

Honestly, the one minute didn't feel that long.

But it was a sprint and it was tiring.

I could feel myself slowing down,

which stressed me out because I knew it would hurt my hit count.

It was incredibly tough.

I told myself, "Come on, man! Wake up!"

I willed myself to keep going as I fought through.

-Let's push through! -Think of the win!

Ten seconds to go!

-Nine! Eight! Seven! -Nine! Eight! Seven!

-Six! Five! -Six! Five!

Four! Three!

-Two! One! -Two! One!

Change.

Change.

Hey!

Come on! Come on!

Nice! Nice!

You got this, Jang Eun-sil!

Let's go!

You're crushing it!

That's it! That's it!

Go, go, go!

Good shit!

Take us home!

Come on, Eddie, take us home! Yes!

-Damn, that strongman is fast. -Look at him go.

He's not even budging.

-Smashing it, Eddie! -Come on, Eddie!

It was not only pulling the ropes up and down.

It was making sure that the rope was hitting the bar.

So we just gave it our all.

Yeah, that's the one.

-Yes, Okami! You're stable! -Keep the pace up and keep breathing!

You're doing great!

There was no way I was going to hold my team back.

I needed to get the hit count up as much as I could.

That was the only thing on my mind.

I wasn't letting up until the end.

I had to keep pushing.

-I love it! I love it! -Go! Go!

-Good stuff! -Come on! You got this!

That's it.

-Thirty seconds left! -Thirty seconds left!

I could taste blood in the back of my throat.

Oh, it's tough.

For a big guy who's got a lot of muscle on my hands,

it burns very quickly.

So it gets so heavy, it feels like I've got metal arms.

Yes!

Come on, keep swinging!

My hands grew increasingly fatigued,

but I pushed myself to power through.

-Q5! -Everything here!

Ten seconds! Ten seconds!

Eight! Seven!

Five seconds to go!

Four! Three!

Two! One! All right!

-Change. -Change! Change!

Change! Change!

Let's go! Transition!

Eloni, let's take us home!

Come on, all here! Everything here!

Team Australia's crushing it.

Good job, brother.

The left rope isn't hitting the right spot!

It looked like the swings weren't quite reaching the sensor.

We were in deep trouble.

-All right! -All right.

-Let's go! -Keep it up, Hashimoto!

Lkhagva-Ochir, put some rhythm into it!

Guys, let's cheer him on.

-Way to go! -Hype him up!

-Speed! That's what we want! -Yes, speed!

-Full speed! Full speed! -Full speed!

Come on, Eloni, keep going!

-Am I hitting it right? -Yeah, you are.

The second time around, I made sure I was hitting the sensor.

Despite his small frame,

the judoka knew exactly how to use his body.

I wished I'd done what he was doing.

Sung-bin, use your whole body if you're gassing out!

Nothing registers when you're wiped out like that.

There's no strategy at that point, just blindly flailing.

I just held on to the ropes and hoped my body knew what to do.

I didn't let myself rest until the minute was up.

Good shit.

-Yeah, boy. Ride it, ride it! -Come on, Eloni!

It was probably the hardest one because

twenty-second mark with plenty of energy,

and then boom, it punches you square in the face.

Better to release all the energy in the hope of winning

than holding anything back.

Thirty seconds left, Eloni!

Keep going! Just keep going like that!

Keep the movements tight!

Lkhagva-Ochir, keep it tight! That's it!

Lkhagva-Ochir, keep it tight! That's it!

Go!

Keep going! Don't stop!

Keep it going!

They're gassing out!

Everyone else is gassing out too!

Come on, Lkhagva-Ochir! Why are you stopping?

I felt a wave of panic when he stopped.

Go, go!

Go, go!

My arms were so wrecked.

I told myself

that it was okay to slow down as long as I didn't stop.

Twenty seconds left!

It was hard to watch to the point of anguish,

but I kept cheering him on so he could push through.

We needed to get through this round

and secure our spot in the second.

Just like that!

That single minute was probably the most painful experience for me.

Last ten seconds, Sung-bin!

I couldn't cheer him on during his last turn.

I just called out the time

because I knew no amount of encouragement could make him go any harder.

That's it! Yeah!

-Nice! -Let's go!

Go! Go!

Nine! Eight!

Push through!

Move! Move!

-Four! Three! -Four! Three!

-Two! One! -Switch!

-Change. -Go! Go!

Change.

Move! Out of the way!

-Last minute, boys! -Last one!

Good job.

Come on, Rob! Rip it!

Rob! Rip it!

Seung-yeon!

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

Itoi is unbelievable.

That's ten seconds!

Come on!

All the way home!

Keep swinging! Keep swinging!

You're killing it! You're killing it!

All or nothing!

So in my second go-around in round one,

I didn't start with the alternating whips

because the lactic acid just hadn't moved enough.

I needed to use different muscles.

I needed to use a more body approach so that I could keep at it.

Whittaker's got it. He's putting his whole body into it.

That Mongolian fighter's doing the same.

Yes, that's exactly it!

He was using the momentum from his legs.

I was impressed with Enkh-Orgil

because he left absolutely nothing in the tank.

Twenty seconds left!

-Twenty seconds! -Twenty seconds!

Fifteen seconds to go!

Let's go!

Come on! Go! Go!

Keep going!

Just a little more!

Four! Three!

Two! One!

All right!

Stop.

-Game over. -Good effort, boys.

-Good effort, boys. -Good effort.

Recover.

We got another round after this.

I was so completely wiped out that I actually felt sick.

It was brutal.

Out of all the challenges in Physical: Asia,

that was the toughest two minutes by far.

-Man, I'm wiped. -Great job, guys!

-Good job. -This shit's brutal.

Great job, guys!

I seriously underestimated this.

Nicely done, Japan.

The hardest thing I've ever done, and it felt like an eternity.

It's out of this world.

It was the hardest iteration of battle ropes

that I've ever done in my life.

Man, so much emotion. And it's just like, "F***."

Proud of you guys. You absolutely drilled it.

Doing battle ropes for a minute is way harder than people think,

and it takes a lot of muscular endurance.

Everyone's strength and speed were absolutely phenomenal.

The results of the first round will now be announced.

Only the two highest-scoring countries

will advance to the next round.

We'll be okay.

It's a long shot, but you never know.

Here is the first country advancing to the next round.

First place.

1,336 reps,

Team Australia.

Yes, boys! Come on!

-Q5 is on the cards! -Let's go!

Hearing the scores just blew our minds.

We're a strong team. I saw how hard everyone was ripping in,

and it makes me really proud to be on the leaderboard.

That's a high score.

-That's a lot. -That's wild.

It was an incredible score.

Team Australia proved their dominance once again.

Fourth place.

763 reps, the Republic of Korea.

That's nowhere even close.

-Good effort. -Good effort.

-Nice try. -Good effort.

I was really hoping that we'd clinch third place.

So the moment I heard the score, my heart sank.

It wasn't anyone's fault.

We all fell short by not fully engaging our bodies for strength.

Don't worry about it.

Let's just hope we made the right call.

Here is the second country advancing to the next round.

Second place. 1,194 reps.

Third place. 1,143 reps.

The difference was very small.

The tension was unbearable.

I really want to win this and advance to the next quest.

Second place.

Please, just let us have second place.

Second place has to be ours.

I truly believe we smashed it.

Second place.

Team Japan.

Yes!

Nice!

We were so close.

-We lost ground when we lost our edge. -Damn it.

Third place is Team Mongolia.

I thought we'd at least snag second after Team Australia.

I probably cost us by slowing down.

I wasn't able to deliver like I thought I would.

I definitely owe the team for that one.

Smashed them by 200, easy.

Physically, there is no one that can beat us.

So with the result of round one,

it gave us the confidence going into round two.

We knew they had more in them.

We can't win this unless we go all in.

All three of us were desperate

to secure our win in the next round.

The idea of losing the second round and having to go again

wasn't even a possibility to us.

The second round of the battle rope relay.

The game will last for four minutes.

Everything we have here, all on the table!

Come on.

Again, all or nothing!

Everything we've worked for.

We're banking on winning this event.

Same tech, guys.

-We're gonna do the same setup then. -Sure.

We had such success with the first one

that we thought, let's just keep it the same

and just strive for victory, strive for number one.

So we're gonna throw everything that we've got at this,

and that's all we're banking on.

We've got to put it all on the line.

Itoi, if you can handle it, it might be best for you to start off.

You're tall, and you made the best use of your strength.

He was unreal.

Based on how he did in the first round,

it was clear that Itoi was the best suited for the battle rope relay.

So we decided he'd be the one to go twice.

I'm sorry to make you go twice, Itoi.

I'm sure Team Australia will be riding high

after that dominant first round,

and that's exactly what we're going to use against them.

We can't afford to lose another round.

We'll crush Team Australia.

Once the whistle blows, the match will begin.

Come on!

-Let's go! You got this, guys! -Yes!

Straight through, boys!

Stand by.

You got this. Leave it all out there.

Everything here!

Let's go!

Ready…

Let's rip in, boys!

Come on!

Go, Yoshio!

-Nice. -Good stuff!

That's it!

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

-One full minute! -That's it! One minute!

That's it, Lons.

-Good, good. -Lock in, lock in.

Let's push!

Let's go, let's go!

-That's it. -Let's go!

We've got some history between Japan, and we've crushed them before.

And that's what we're gonna do here. We're gonna crush them again.

I was carrying the weight of my team's hopes and trust in me.

They were counting on me, and I couldn't let them down.

I had to do this.

You're about to see what middle-aged man power can do.

Damn, he's strong.

How's that guy so good?

He's not your average guy for sure.

Twenty!

Twenty seconds left!

-Let's go! Come on! -Let's go, Eloni!

Let's go.

I want everything!

Let's go, Yoshio!

Come on! Kick it up a notch!

Step it up!

Ten seconds left!

Come on, Eloni! Hold it!

Win this for us!

Five! Four! Three!

-Two! One! -Two! One!

-Switch! -Switch!

-Change. -Change! Go, go!

Change.

-Rip it, Rob! -Yeah! Come on, Rob!

Go faster, Rob!

Whittaker's insane!

-Damn. -Whittaker's going off.

-You can't even see the ropes. -No way.

Check out Whittaker.

He's turning the ropes into dust.

-Look at Whittaker. He's a total monster. -Yeah.

That's just pure speed. No way anyone can beat that.

As I look over at the Japan team, I see they're definitely slowing down.

We beat them in the first round, we'll beat them in the second.

They're clearly moving faster than we are.

Team Australia is on a roll.

I can't deny their speed is on another level.

But what I'm focusing on

is making every hit register.

There's no point in going faster if you end up missing reps.

This is one thing I won't be rushing.

Faster, Yushin. Step it up!

Don't rush!

Keep it up!

This is your last minute!

Go into the dark place!

Rip it! Rip it!

Japan's lost, for sure.

No, I think they're close.

I think they'll be close.

But Japan's fading hard.

They are fading,

but Itoi definitely outperformed Eloni in their matchup.

Ten! Go, go!

Ten! Keep going, that's it!

-Keep the swings tight! -Hit it fast and tight!

Looking good.

Ten! Go, go!

-Seven! Six! -Seven! Six!

-Five! Four! Three! -Five! Four! Three!

-Two! One! -Two! One!

-Good shit, Rob! -Change.

Good!

Now, now!

Change.

Yeah!

His speed is off the charts.

Look at how tight it is.

His body isn't even budging.

And then Eddie comes in and backs us up with that speed.

We were on form, on fire, and they represented.

Proud of the guys.

You're doing good. Keep that pace!

All I focused on was going full throttle, and I slammed those ropes

like my life depended on it.

Look at that small guy there. He's unreal.

No way.

You're killing it, Soichi! Keep it up!

-He's slowing. -He's running out of steam!

Pump your arms, and they just get so heavy

it's like sand's filling up in your hands.

And it gets harder.

Look, this guy's faster.

The judoka's faster.

Just breathe! Everything here!

Thirty seconds left!

Come on, Eddie, this is your last bit!

That's it, come on! Kick it up with tight movements!

This is your last bit!

Last 20 seconds!

-This is hard to call. -Yeah, seriously.

It could go either way.

-You got this! -You got this! The count's rising!

-For the fam, G! Come on! -Six! Five! Four!

Three! Two! One!

Change.

Change.

Longevity!

Let's go!

-Keep going! -Go! Go!

You got this!

I can't call this at all.

I think Japan's got it.

Come on!

Man, it's hard to say who'll win.

You're nearly done! Bring it home!

-Great speed! -I'm about to have a heart attack.

Great speed!

Come on, let's finish it here!

It was actually much, much harder than I thought.

My arms were absolutely dead.

Last thirty seconds of your life!

Go, Lon!

-Go! Go! -Twenty, twenty!

Step it up! Step it up now!

-You can do this! -Australia's stopped!

Keep going!

Come on! Make or break!

Ten seconds.

Come on, Itoi! Keep pushing!

-Six! Five! Four! -Six! Five! Four!

-Three! Two! -Three! Two!

Two! One! Go!

Bloody proud of you, bro.

Stop.

-Game over. -Let's go!

-Proud of you, bro. -Let's go!

-Itoi. -Itoi, we've won this!

No one can beat us in endurance.

That was insane.

It was a level of pain that I had never experienced before.

I'd pushed past my limit.

Physical: Asia.

The fourth quest.

The battle rope relay.

The final results will now be announced.

Let's go, Australia.

Australia.

-Australia. -Australia.

Japan.

Japan.

First place,

1,116 reps.

Second place,

961 reps.

These aren't even our results, but I'm so nervous.

Japan also did very well, so it could go either way.

We did better this time, so we might have a shot.

It was impossible to say who would come out on top.

Whichever team wins is done for the day.

Must be nice.

Man,

what I wouldn't give for that.

The country in first place with 1,116 reps is…

Japan.

…Japan.

What?

Really?

It didn't look like it.

I am very surprised about the result for round two.

It was a shock to us.

I know that me and the boys, we ripped in as hard as we could.

You know, I was still very confident that we had it in the bag.

I remember I dropped the rope,

albeit very briefly.

It is what it is. It's a hard movement to do,

and that fourth repetition overall for the day was tricky.

It was not an easy thing to grasp onto and hold onto for that amount of time.

I hate losing.

That hurts, but…

Japan crushed it.

Man, Japan killed it.

They really did.

-Japan really showed up. -They brought it.

Incredible!

-Thank you! -Thank you!

Unbelievable!

Our final player, Itoi, gave it everything he had

with incredible and precise movements.

We were genuinely thrilled to see that we'd actually beaten Team Australia.

Physical: Asia.

Team leaders of the three losing countries,

please make your way to the front.

Huh? What's going on?

What? Why?

Team leaders of the three losing countries,

please open the boxes…

placed in front of you.

What is it? What could it be?

What is it this time? What's in there?

Come on, what is it? Just tell us already.

-Are we drawing lots? -Drawing lots?

I open it up, and I see inside…

What is it?

What is that?

…some kind of shackles.

Oh, it's… No, handcuffs.

Shackles? Why?

What's this about?

We'll see what it is.

The fourth quest of Physical: Asia.

The Death Match.

The Death Match.

The Death Match will now begin.

Right now?

What is it?

What is it?

I knew it!

What is it?

I can't say I had any expectations.

The fourth quest of Physical: Asia.

The Death Match.

A chill ran down my spine.

It resembled an inescapable hell.

It was made to let the losers fight it out to the end.

It was really surreal and also amazing.

Our whole team was shocked.

We were all panicking inside.

The country to be officially eliminated will be determined by the Death Match.

What exactly are we doing?

What's the challenge?

Whatever it was, it wasn't going to be a cakewalk.

The 1,200-kg pillar push.

1,200 kg!

A ton?

That's a ton!

1,200.

It'd blow out your hammies.

The number of times you must turn the pillar is…

100.

-100 times? -Yeah.

I'd be wrecked just walking 100 laps.

Just hearing the number wore me out.

-Turn it 100 times? -100 times?

100?

When I heard the number, I thought, "That can't be right."

Pushing a 1 to 2 ton wheel 100 times is insane.

100 laps.

Hey, you're made for this shit, bro.

Another one made for us.

I got excited.

Straight away, I was like, "I'm meant for that."

The first two countries…

to complete 100 laps will survive.

The third and last country…

will be eliminated…

…will be eliminated

immediately.

Easy. Easy.

We can do this.

All contestants, please make your way to the arena.

Be ready, guys.

Good luck!

Let's go!

Very confident.

We have the guys for this challenge,

and in a Death Match, this stuff is made for us.

We've got to make it through this.

We'll prove to everyone that we're a serious competition.

Every team here

is stacked.

I wonder how this will play out.

The Death Match of Physical: Asia.

The 1,200-kg pillar push.

In this Death Match, each team will field…

three players.

…three players.

However…

Come on, please.

…those who took part in the battle rope relay

must be excluded.

…must be excluded.

Are you f****** serious?

Nah, it's bullshit.

What?

My heart sank.

The thing that I was made for, I couldn't even do.

I'm kind of shattered.

They were pretty concerned too, I think.

I do a lot of this stuff, you know,

which is my jam.

You guys can do it.

-You can do it. -Yeah, easy.

How's Team Mongolia going to do in this?

They've got two heavy hitters.

But that girl…

She's next level.

We stuck to our strategy.

If we lost the battle rope relay, I figured the remaining three

would be the ones to step up next.

That's why I sat out the first game.

We've always got killer strategy and tactics behind us.

Wow, Korea's strong.

All right.

All right. Our gamble paid off.

I was so relieved.

DURING THE BATTLE ROPE RELAY STRATEGY MEETING

Three players per team,

and only one team advances to the next round.

-There must be another game. -Yeah.

I guess three teams will have a playoff after this.

It turns out our game plan was dead on.

Kick it off, Min-jae.

You're carrying the weight in this challenge.

Republic of Korea!

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

I'm not stopping until all 100 laps are done.

I say "cattle," you say "dog."

-Cattle! -Dog!

I had nothing but confidence. I know the heart and grit of our team.

Warriors!

-Mount up! -Mount up!

I have faith we'll get through this round. Elimination is not part of our plan.

-Show us. -Show us!

Team Republic of Korea.

Kim Dong-hyun,

Amotti,

and Kim Min-jae.

We own Death Matches,

and we'll dominate this one.

Yeah, bring it!

They put their strongest guy there?

They've put him in the middle spot.

The person on the outermost side takes the most heat.

But 100 laps is a brutal number,

and we weren't sure I had the stamina for it.

So Amotti swapped places with me.

Team Mongolia.

Orkhonbayar Bayarsaikhan,

Adiyasuren Amarsaikhan,

and Khandsuren Gantogtokh.

We're going to crush this challenge.

Good luck to the other teams.

You've got this!

Team Australia.

Dom Tomato,

Katelin van Zyl,

and Alexandra.

We've proven before that our women are as strong as their men,

and we're definitely taking this one out.

We ain't going nowhere.

Let's go!

Seeing Korea line up,

by a long shot, they were gonna win.

I guess the biggest heat for us was with Mongolia.

Adiya, just the weight of you and me will be enough.

All three of us together would weigh 300 kg easily.

I'm certain we'll beat Team Australia.

We have the edge.

We can take Mongolia, easy.

-They ain't got the stamina we do. -We've got this, guys.

With Mongolia, I feel like

they probably don't have the endurance we've got.

So we were very confident that we'd win that.

Team Australia's also got two girls.

The CrossFit girl's probably got both endurance and power.

The Mongolians are huge, but I'm not sure about their stamina.

You never know who's going to win until the actual fight.

This really is hell.

These are the shackles of hell.

Once the manacles were on,

it really felt like we were in hell.

It was kind of scary.

I felt helpless, shackled up like I was being punished.

This is gonna be a long match.

The fourth quest of Physical: Asia.

The Death Match.

The 1,200-kg pillar push.

Stand by.

Ready…

Right, here we go.

Let's see how we go.

-It's only 100 laps. -Yeah, let's do it.

Just don't let the pace drop.

Let's go!

Come on, guys! Pick up the speed!

This is the Death Match, guys!

There's nothing else after this!

We're not f****** going home.
