Sliding through the muddy tunnel

Red Group

For the preliminary round, their first challenge was the sprint course. With only the top 5 from each team able to qualify for the main event, it was every man for himself, and no holding back. taking it on one group at a time, the course involved climbing the hay bale wall, volting the high fences, crawling the tunnel network, leaping across the chasm, hurdling the barrels and finally scrambling through the pen full of tubing, in which Macau China sets the best time record. The teams also faced it a second time, but working together as a team, with the stronger contestants helping the rest of the team finish as quick as possibly, hauling them up the banks and across the walls, with words of encouragement.

 With the final 15 selected, it was time for them to take on the big challenge; the wayer course. With tougher conditions, more challenging obstacles, and only the very best in the running, the atmosphere was buzzing, as the contestants took to the starting line. Split into two sections, the first section included a headlong charge along an icy cold and mud filled river, with bridges to duck under, steep banks to climb up and down, tire-walls to traverse, and tunnels to crawl through. A steep net wall marked the end of the section, with a fireman's pole to slide down to stop the clock. Croatia won this part of competition.
