Physical 100: Italy

One hundred Italian contestants line up to begin. Fighters, fitness influencers and medalists size each other up before their first challenge.

After surviving the arena's introductory trial, the battle becomes one-on-one. Choosing between strength and agility can turn into a dangerous gamble.

The competition rages on. Any bout can send even the strongest straight home — the duels are unpredictable and, in some cases, unprecedented.

With half of the torsos smashed, a multi-skill trial tests team strategy, coordination and power — but those who endure aren't the only winners.

The winning teams face a tough choice that exposes everyone's true nature. Will the strategies they've chosen actually work?
