'Physical: Asia' Quest 4: Battle Rope Relay & 1200kg Pillar Push Results
Physical: Asia Quest 4, the Battle Rope Relay, is a brutal challenge that requires arm strength, speed, and upper-body endurance. Only the country that wins first place in the Battle Rope Relay will advance directly to the next quest. While the three losing teams will need to battle it out in a 1200kg Pillar Push Death Match to survive.
'Physical: Asia' QUEST 4: Battle Rope Relay
In the Battle Rope Relay, each player whips the weighted ropes up and down, creating waves, to strike a device attached to the end. The hits will only count if the force delivered to the device meets the required threshold. Each six-person team can only select three representatives to participate in the match. The players take turns to play in a predetermined order, and must switch out every minute.

LANE 2: Team Mongolia's strategy going in was explosive power and grit, and they made tactical picks based on who fit that best.

LANE 3: Team Korea decided to play it safe against the other stacked teams. They bet on the fact that all six players would be involved in some way, and put their chips in the second game.

The two highest-scoring countries, Australia and Japan, advance to the second round.
BATTLE ROPE RELAY ROUND 2 RESULTS
Riding high off of their dominant win in the previous round, Team Australia felt even more confident going in, and decided to go with the same setup. Whereas, Japan made adjustments to their player order based on performance from the previous round. It was clear that Yoshio Itoi was best suited for the game, so he was moved up to the first spot. The duration is 4 minutes in this round, so only Player 1 will go twice.
Team Japan is the final winner of the Battle Rope Relay with 1,116 reps, beating Australia (961 reps) to advance directly to the fifth quest. A dominant performance by Yoshio Itoi who gave it everything he had with incredible and precise movements while maintaining pace.
1200kg PILLAR PUSH DEATH MATCH RESULTS
The fourth quest of Physical: Asia, the 1200kg Pillar Push Death Match, will be a true test of perseverance. The first two countries to complete 100 laps will survive, while the third and last country will be eliminated immediately from the competition.
As the contestants make their way to the arena, a twist is revealed... Each team will send three players to participate in the Death Match. However, those who took part in the Battle Rope Relay must be excluded. While Team Australia felt blindsided, Team Mongolia anticipated this, which is why team leader Orkhonbayar sat out the first game. Team Korea's gamble to reserve three strong players also paid off.

With Team Korea's strong lineup of three guys, they were expected to win, by a long shot. It will be a fierce battle between Teams Australia and Mongolia for that final qualifying spot.
Mongolia goes slow and steady from the start to conserve energy. There is no need to rush and burn out, as this is going to be a 100-lap marathon. In the interim score, Korea was first to reach the 50th lap. While Mongolia and Australia are neck and neck at 46 and 45 laps respectively. All teams were determined to keep going in this inescapable hell, and never paused to rest. With their relentless perseverance and overwhelming power, Korea was the first to complete 100 laps, and are safe from elimination. The remaining two teams dig deep and pushed forward with fervent determination not to be eliminated. In the end, Mongolia beat Australia, who were only four laps behind, and are safe from elimination.
The country eliminated from the fourth quest is Team Australia. Great effort by the athletes who gave their all, and left nothing. The Aussies have proven themselves to be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, teams in the competition. Incredible job!
