Forty-eight contestants from eight countries arrive and the teams size each other up. At last, the curtain rises on the first quest.

Athletes race, push and grapple atop a sinking slope. After grueling, deadlocked matches, two countries face off without making any concessions.

One nation claims a powerful privilege. In their test of speed and teamwork, players race through a giant shipwreck across a rugged obstacle course.

After a wild, intense race through the shipwreck, the next quest unfolds in a new arena — where the results from the previous match are crucial.

Players tap into their sports skills for battle. As the third quest looms, teams prepare to pick formidable reps as each win rides on smart match-ups.

Racing against time and heavy loads, teams face more than a contest — it's a true test of endurance. Losing teams must break their own torsos right away.

In a seemingly endless game, one contestant demonstrates extraordinary ease and skill in the hanging game. Can the other competitor win by imitation?

No mistakes are permitted as time continues to run out. With only half the teams left, the results of an early poll return to haunt the contestants.

This brutal challenge demands arm strength, tenacity, speed and precision. One team catches their competitors off guard with a surprise move.

Shackles. Giant pillars. Iron balls. The teams are summoned to a hellish game where mental endurance is more important than ever.

As exhaustion and determination peak, the finalists enter the arena for an intense all-out battle. The victor will claim glory and a hefty cash prize.
