Champion effort!
MEET THE GLADIATORS FINALISTS AS THE MEGA SERIES WRAPS IN SUPERHUMAN STYLE…
GLADIATORS BBC1 5.50PM
Congratulations, final contenders (above L-R Wesley Male, Bronte Jones, Marie-Louise Nicholson, Finlay Anderson)! How does it feel?
Finlay Surreal!
Bronte It feels crazy! I’m really proud of myself.
Marie-Louise It makes me feel I’m capable of so much more than I ever believed.
Wesley It’s a dream come true, absolutely amazing!
Who’s been the toughest Gladiator to compete against? Marie-Louise Most definitely Fury. The girl has the sweetest heart
– but she hits hard! Bronte Fury! That girl is super-strong, powerful, and knows how to tackle…
Wesley Steel has phenomenal endurance, Phantom just doesn’t stop – and Nitro is just too fast!
Finlay Nitro. His power is pretty impossible to match.
What are your favourite and least fave events? Bronte I think I was best at The Wall, but loved Duel because it’s iconic. I wasn’t good at The Edge!
Finlay The Eliminator has everything – including the iconic Travelator! The Edge I never got the hang of… Marie-Louise My favourite is The Wall, which was a surprise as I had a massive fear of heights before the show. Duel is my least favourite, I don’t think I’ve lasted more than 10 seconds on those podiums.
Wesley In The Edge, I could show my strength, speed and agility all in one.
Any advice for those thinking of taking part? Finlay Do it! Be fit across as many skills as possible – run, climb, jump, balance, life, wrestle, contact sports and gymnastics – make your body bulletproof!
Wesley Get to know your body: how hard you can push and when to play smart. But enjoy it!
Bronte I hope I can inspire others that a normal person like me can go on the show.
Marie-Louise I say go for it! What have you got to lose?
