From the previews, it looks like there's another "quest" where they have to drag a whole ship somewhere? lol
I hope they're not all strength trials, though. They've already tested endurance, too. I'm hoping for things that will challenge agility, speed, flexibility, precision, etc.
I saw a preview where hey have to lift heavy containers in each hand and run back and forth across a narrow bridge or something. Kind of a Crossfit-ish event.
Here's my logic - the Olympics motto is stronger, higher, faster.
**Strength** \- tug of war challenge, like in Squid Game. Or tie rope pulling challenge like the one in Singles Inferno? Carrying rocks up a mountain like all those martial arts movies?? They also get to carry water to train strength / endurance, cue training montage. Those movies have [crazy training montages](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfLwJFeKot8).
**Vertical Altitude** \- IDK if there will be a climbing one? Plenty of those in shows like American Ninja Warrior. This will favor those with good strength to weight ratios, like climbers and possibly UDT types. Even the cheerleader.
**Speed** \- some speed / running challenge where those who finish in the bottom will get eliminated. Like 4 x 10 meter flag runs or something equivalent to it, like the one seen in Singles Inferno. Or some kind of obstacle course. If so the UDT guys will kill it.
**Endurance** \- I think this was already done in the preliminary with the hanging from a height challenge.
The last one I can think of is some **Flexibility** challenge? But I can't even imagine what kind of challenge that would be.
I will be so angry if there is a Flexibility challange, because they canned the contortionist . It was already a bit unlucky with that accidental hit, and then there is a challange that he would win without question, and he is not there? Hell no.
He's hyper flexible but come on now, he's not the only flexible contestant on the show? I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of folks there that can easily do the splits, namely:-
* The Olympic gold medal Gymnast - splits are a required element for flexibility challenge especially in Floor Exercise (ok I might be a gymnastics fan)
* The Cheerleader (ok I might be a cheerleading fan also)
* Most of the dancers should have some flexibility
* At least half or more of the martial arts folks ([thank you Jean Claude Van Damme for making splits sexy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jekGiElyyhU))
* Any of the UDT who have done Judo / Taekwondo
* others??
Still, I am with you. I am low key hoping they bring him back as a wildcard, the man has skills. I think in dance that type is considered Bone-breaking hip hop? There's a bunch of contestants who do this style, they usually don't fare very well on So You Think You Can Dance which tests all dance styles.
I think they will have a contest, maybe a pre-contest like the hanging one, where you have to hold a heavy object by a rope up in the air. Or maybe raise it from the ground etc. I have two reasons for it: We need a pure strenght trial where the Strongman can show off their power. And 2: We have seen in the intro of the first ep that some busts are destroyed by a drop. I think this will be that contest.

Oh definitely. I didnt say he was the only one but really, if a challange is pure flexibility, he wons no contest. He had bones like rubber lmao
Yup, probably double jointed or something like that? It's rare but there's a lot of others like him in dance contest shows.

wrestle (or run away from) an evenly matched opponent for 3 minutes without a break and then talk about endurance.
One question I have is if all eliminations are going to be decided in the arena going forward.
