Body Slams, Broken Limits & Infinite Miles | SPARTAN GAMES EPISODE 3

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ธ.ค. 2020
- Day 3 rolls into Riverside Farm with a wave of near-freezing temperatures and an ever-tightening competition for top of the table. It’s “break or be broken” today. Smaller athletes punch above their weight in Spartan Wrestling, over half of the field runs farther than they ever have before in the six-hour ultra trail marathon and everyone fights past their mental and physical limits. With only one more day of competition, anything’s possible.
DAY THREE EVENTS:
- SPARTAN WRESTLING: Ancient combat with modern warriors. Double elimination.
- SPARTAN TRAIL ULTRA: Six-hour trail ultra marathon on a five-mile, 1,806 ft elevation loop. Three lap minimum.

Spartan Games: Battle of the Fittest
Twenty four elite athletes - OCR champions, Olympians, NFL pros, triathletes, world champion crossfitters and more - descend on the mountains of Vermont to compete for $100,000. Over four days, they battle in ten grueling physical and mental challenges: obstacle course races, open-water swim, mountain biking, Spartan highland games, functional fitness competitions, ultra marathon, combat sports and more. Every athlete will be tested. Every athlete will be ripped out of their comfort zone. But only one will be The Fittest.
Presented by Harley-Davidson.
Disclaimer: The Spartan Games were a closed competition and all participating Athletes were by invite only. Spartan staff and personnel were limited to those individuals necessary to produce and operate the event.

Atkins and Webster quite possibly are the fittest couple in the world!! Hats off to both!
There hasn't been a lot of gold on the internet lately. This is GOLD!
Everyone has a limit. Seeing these athletes recognize their strength, weaknesses, hit walls and pushing through was inspiring to say the least.
Grant is awesome, just his personality and his approach to thus whole event on top of his athleticism.
yeah.. they're all amazing but I love Grant's attitude in particular! .. and Herman's... yeah.. they're all awesome! :) haha loving this series

Incredible intro and series! Keep them coming! AROO!
Awesome Episode! Can’t wait for next weeks episode. Was suppose to begin my spartan journey this new but all races were canceled! Ill be ready for next year! AROO
That Herman guy seems very humble imagine if this was his only job.
He distinguished himself with that gratitudinal moment; in the current context, it's refreshing to see someone express such open, sincere thanks. Carry on, Herman.
It's literally my favorite moment of the whole series 💜
The episodes keep getting longer, this is awesome! The series that saved my 2020 racing season
glad to hear it 😎
I can’t get enough of this series!!
I would love to see the full events after this series is over! If you guys could put those together that would be awesome! I know we already know the results, but I'd still watch them 100%.
Amazing to see the functional fitness/CrossFit athletes being so growth minded. They are trained for the unknowable, no complain no excuses. Obviously all of them are amazing athletes of their own kind but seeing some of the endurance/more "predictable" sports athletes throwing all their toys out of the pram, or having tantrums about the course, blaming it on the event, etc... says a lot about how much mindset is important :) Love this series.
As a fellow Spartan, I'm absolutely loving this series. Keep it going!!!!
Episodes are getting better! I like that the athletes emotions are being captured even when they’re bashing the courses.
Love the longer episode and getting to spend more time per event and with the different athletes. Rooting for Lauren Weeks!!
I hope this will be a regular thing as I absolutely love this series so far. Great job and thanks a lot for this!
Incredible! Best intro of this series so far!
These episodes keep getting better and better. Loved this one and can’t wait for the next!
This is one of the best shows that I’ve seen. Don’t ever stop making these.
Spartan Games Merch kit!
What a beautiful episode!
Hunter rocks!
10m left to watch, but Demmink's gratitude at 52:00 has so far been my favorite out of all 3 Episodes :-)
Just when you thought your memories of Spartan couldn’t get any better, you get to live vicariously through the events of the Spartan Games!
Atkins never ceases to impress. Hunter seems at home in OCR, but if he wants to CrossFit then all the power to him.
@Christi A you do realize the CrossFit games that year were completely different in terms of previous years, right? People who placed the year prior were eliminated first rounds and even with him. Their scoring was so fucked up and how eliminations were done that they came out and admitted it was fine poorly. The first event alone cut 50% of the athletes.
@@Beard-OF-Courage what do you mean by people who placed? Yes the format was different but Hunter got cut way sooner than was expected. He should have done better and he certainly could have.
Great combo: wrestling and 6-hour run!
Some very impressive results in the trail run. Missed what happened to Mr Ultra runner. He just disappeared. Really varied elements, excited to see who wins
Some of the athletes are breaking physically or emotionally, others arent. Giving them the implicit option to choose a path beyond their perceived potential is the delicious meat of this series.
Say what you want about hunter, but he is an amazing athlete...
Love this series so much! Well done Spartan with the competition itself and all the episodes so far!
thank you
MCINTYRE of "Broken Skull challenge" would have won the competition, he is heavier, and the extra weight makes all the difference in such an event, as good as he is still, is not the same athlete
Lovin the Games! Go Lindsay and Ryan! 🇨🇦
Been waiting for this episode all week! Love the variety of events.
We normal humans watching these super humans, is more fascinating than inspiring, for me, as an artist. Their competiveness, professionalism, dedication and respect for themselves and each other is pure. The purity i percieve, is not unlike a filtration system. The final result is gleaned from so much mental discipline, while fine tuning their individual powers. That endurance run 5-6 hours pushed some to their emotional limits, men and women (understandable). Elite Athletes are as crazy as anyone I've ever met, dedicated passionately, to what they love. Great show. Insightful & enormously entertaining. Oh yeah! GO CORINNA!
Atkins talks and has the same mannerisms as Brent Fikowski. What an amazing athlete! It's incredible how good he is at so many sports.
Best show this year. 2021 races will be a challenge after no events this year. This is fine motivation!
Love these episodes, hope to see more of these competitions in the future!
Yessss!!! Getting so excited to get back out on the course!! Spartan 2021!!! Aroo aroo!!!
Shoutout to Herman’s wife! Athletes are nothing without the proper support group and everyone who has an athlete in their life, Thank You.
This ep was 🔥🔥🔥 loving this series
Herman's appreciation for fitness and competition is infectious. Wonderful moment after the run.
Really pushing these athletes to the limit!
New to Spartan Race here! I’ve been watching lots of races and videos from your channel! Great glimpse into it all!
Thanks Spartan for hosting these races.
Man these Spartan games are awesome!!!! Totally a great idea!!!! Go Grant. You’re rocking it.
I enjoyed this much more because of seeing the progress of the events, not just quick highlights!
Loving the series so far. The longer episodes are definitely better. Didnt get enough content in the shorter ones. 1 hour long is so much better
The episodes keep getting better and better! Keep it up
Just when I though it couldn't get any crazier... 🤯
Just discovered this series. WOW! This show is amazing
This is great. I love the competition 100 times better then the CrossFit games. This needs to be on TV
I'm soexcited for this episode, but I'm also a little sad the series is that much closer to ending.
congrats on winning the giveaway. please send us an email: socialmedia@spartan.com
Thank you! I sent the email
This show is soo FUN to watch!! Great job Everyone!!
Watching all 4 episodes was amazing and inspiring! I don't normally talk like that, but it was sick to see these men and women crush it!
I am just commenting to win free things....lol. But legit love the series. Seeing athletes with diverse skillsets compete is really inspiring
Music is fire in this one!
That was a better episode! Impressed with the athletes pushing through being uncomfortable! I liked how the wrestling naturally brought out the competitiveness in everyone. That 6hr run was ridiculous!! It looked amazing with all the fall colors, but 6 hours!! WOW!
GO LAUREN!! RHINO TOUGH!!!
Thanks so much for creating this content and giving us something to watch during this shitty ass year 🙃 You guys rock
How did Atkins catch up to and handily beat Wardian in the 6 hour race? Pretty big detail left out. Great episode nonetheless.
think Mike got injured at some point during this competition and I would imagine it was before or during this based on how it played out. To be fair Atkins put in an impressive effort tho and clearly has built up quite an aerobic based thru cycling/running many hours.
Agreed. It blew me away when I saw Atkins in 1st on the run. Crazy they didn't cover that switch up better. Wardian seemed sure to be the lead on that event. Love Atkins though.
@@ronstern187 Either injured, or really fatigued. The strength events were a lot further out of his wheelhouse than they were for Ryan.
I bumped into wardian at the D.C stadion last year not knowing who he was. We talked about our shoes at the start line 🤣 anyways once I found out how big of an ultra running deal he is I started following him. He got injured. He had fo bail from a race right after the spartan games and is currently recovering and progressing into running again slowly
Cheering for Hunter! Watching some interviews with him and building so much respect for him. Not even sure why I didn't like him before to be honest. Go Hunter!!!
Hunter is a total animal. Spartan wanted to portray him as the heel like this was WWE or something and found an opportunity to do so.
Yesss! The next episode has dropped.. Excited to see how this pans out!
Waiting all day for this let's go.
Love this series!! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Cheeehooo!!! Loving this!! 🔥🔥
Excited for next week!
I love this series. Fantastic stuff!
thank you
I so admire these people. Sets goals for me!
Best episode so far! Also provides great treadmill material!
Love to watch those amazing athlets, so inspiring!
You all did a great job on producing the Spartan Games! I was so excited for each episode that waiting a week drove me crazy! I enjoyed watching this series, that I went back and watched a bunch of previous series you have released (Camp Spartan and the Unbreakable CEO). Please keep releasing great content! I am now looking forward to doing a Spartan Race this upcoming year now!
These episodes are awesome! Aroo!
Amazing episode 💪💪💪
I came here for fitness, not to be fighting back tears 52:04. Herman, you're a boss.
Loving this series. Makes me miss racing even more. I like how they tried to mix it up so it really did have to be an all around athlete to win..
Love this episode!!!
Loving the longer episode! Keep it coming!
this is awesome. this needs to be a regular event. can't wait for episode 4!
Can't wait to get back to racing and hopefully see the same high quality filming done for the US national series races in the future.
Enjoyed the competitions, awesome!
Unique, fresh entertainment as only Spartan can put on. Great to se the different disciplines mixed together
I look forward to Wednesdays now🤩
Hunter cracks me up; "I hate losing to Atkins... so, I think I'm back."
Very good episode! Loved watching these series
Love it. Here for the mentality of these athletes!
Awesome series! Looking forward for more content like this in the future! :)
this series keeps getting better and better!
BEST episode yet. Wow.
Love the new episode!😉
Really enjoying this!
Best episode yet! Never heard of Herman before Spartan Games, but he is a stud! And love his attitude of gratitude! But still rooting for my Muddy Mingler boy @huntthesheriff to take this thing!
This videos are great. I keep wanting more after each video. Also, the camera guys on the trail are awesome to keep up while recording.
Great series, greater athletes. The level of fitness is off the charts. Thanks Spartan!
This series is keeping me and my fitness motivated during COVID times!
God i love this series
These are really inspiring ngl
Loving this series! Making me miss racing and competing this 2020 season :( but looking forward to 2021!
Crazy humbling RESPECT 👊
Awesome
Love ths show
Can't wit for 2021
Love these...but "featuring Joe De Sena" as the first name? Has he been on an episode yet, other than a voice over in Ep 1?
Can't wait for next week's episode!
Look forward to these episodes every week!
I‘m into crossfit and functional fitness and never done a spartan race but I love this! Makes me wanna do one asap!
