Las Vegas
Finals 3
July 8
Over the last six weeks, we've seen the
craziest obstacles ever known mow down athlete after athlete. Now only
the top 100 remain - 15 from each bracket and 10 wild cards - to
challenge the mother of all obstacles: Mount Midoriyama. But instead of
going to Japan, the course is being brought to America.
Nearly halfway finished, and eight
athletes have passed through to the next stage. Who will join them?
