Shattered Chains, Helmets & Comfort Zones | SPARTAN GAMES EPISODE 2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- With fallout from the bucket throw in the past and a new day of competition in the future, the Spartan Games athletes have one focus: earning points. The endurance specialists get a reality check during a functional fitness competition, different interpretations of “non-technical, rolling terrain” inject intensity into a five-hour mountain bike challenge, and everyone deals with the tolls of the aggressive event schedule. One thing remains clear: the Spartan Games Athletes will not hold back.
DAY TWO EVENTS:
- DEKA STRONG: 10 weighted functional fitness exercises, completed for time.
- LA RUTA MOUNTAIN BIKE CHALLENGE: Five-hour mountain bike endurance race on a 9 mile, 1,537 ft elevation loop. Two 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.

Sam Briggs - I'm 38 and nearing the end of my career. ..... Then immediately sets a NEW WORLD RECORD - Niiiiiiiiice! 💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She's an absolute legend!!!And so down to earth! She's a great ambassador for sports and friendship!
I'm rooting for Samnatha Briggs!!!
@Bryan M The Engine!!
Same and Grant
Much much better! No drama, lots of great content and sportsmanship! I love this show and am REALLY happy to see you’ve moved away from the reality show drama BS! Keep the rock star athleticism and sportsmanship coming. Fantastic!
100x better than episode 1. WELL DONE!
💪
I actually enjoyed ep2 even more as we got to see more of the events and the athletes. Awesome stuff! Spartan has to find a way to keep doing this!
🙌
I think the filming was much better in Episode 2. The OCR first event was super fast (on the replay) it was hard to kind of follow. But yeah I'm enjoying this so far. I hope this grows into some kind of series event that could be done around the country on a smaller scale and then like CrossFit has something like categories, age group, etc where then athletes compete in say a regional event for the elimination process getting down to say the top 12 that go head to head. I only wish the Dekafit stuff was around 3 years ago when I was in that strength/endurance shape. It's a great idea
Atkins and Hunter are truly beasts!! Seriously, OCR athletes are the fittest all around. Can’t wait to see episode 3!! Cheers from MÉXICO 🇲🇽
Props to Corinna for moving into first! Grateful the producers listened to the constructive criticism from Ep.1 and then took action. Kudos y'all. Im hooked like a Tuna. Can't wait till Ep.3!
Mike Wardian's quotes after the Deka Strong event are pure gold.
Kristi, wonderful attitude.
Sam Briggs is phenomenal. End of your career my arse, you are an inspiration.
Wardian is a gem!! More of that guy.
Can't wait to see him in the 6 hour run in the next episode
This is the best thing i've watched in 2020. Thanks Spartan for the entrainement, amazing competition
thank you
@spartanrace I love watching this series and how excitingly close it was between 1 & 2! I love Grant’s sportsmanship, humor and how everyone gave their best effort despite what place they were in. Spartan catching Ryan and Lindsey going through a (rare) display of their frustration/emotions reminding us they’re human too. You always see them being humble, staying calm and composed but they have bad days too just like everyone else.
everyone is great, but Sam is so absolutely amazing and inspiring especially for me as an older sport enthusiast
Congrats to all the competitors. You are all amazing. Hunter plays the heel role well and is super entertaining. I had never heard of Grant but I am loving his attitude and 100% no doubt your family is very proud of you Grant!
How about early Christmas present by releasing next episode tomorrow.
Wicked, great mix of skills, strengths and attitude. True Spartanesque competition and Briggs for the win!
Woot! Love seeing Coach Yancy taking charge and bringing the Deka love!
The music in this is so underrated. Great episode! Can't wait for Episode 3!
I'm totally loving this. Can't wait for episode 3.
Ryan Kent!! Way to go Dude!! I was so moved by that!!
Hunter Mcintyre is the Colby Covington of OCR/Crossfit- you may not like him, but he demands your respect. I'm rooting for him.
Yes in OCR but not so much in Crossfit. Amazing athlete for sure but unproven at CF games
Totally Expected Sam Briggs and Corinna Coffin to hit the top! Expected Emma to be a little higher.
I KNEW Hunter had it in the bag. Great job Mike!!! Prove that Ultrarunners can hang with the functional fitness dogs!
Can’t wait for episode 3! Fully invested in this series.
I can't believe that we weren't offered more POV footage for the mountain bike race. That would have been so cool and insightful. Next time please Spartan
Loved seeing Mike Wardian up there! Way to go!!
the camerawork and the amount of different shots and angles is legit! I really enjoy this serie! Keep it coming!
Please get this on TV
Way to go Faith!!!!!!
These are fantastic. Especially the mountain biking and strongman events. Keep them coming, bruhs.
Excellent and very well done. Enjoyable. Thanks
Great competition and interesting selection of athletes. From Hunter the (very fit and strong) pantomime villain to Briggs the humble tough talented lass, demonstrating getting on with it without the attitude. Surprised at how much whining going on. Wrestling and a long trail run next; ideal programming.
awesome episode 👏
"Straight up die".... "But I'm having fun!"
Love Ryan's reaction to getting his second leader jersey xD
These are awesome Spartan. Keep it up! How does Atkins do it...
Good fun!! I'm loving this!! I look forward to watching the Spartan Games every week. I will certainly miss it when it's done.
Incredible first attempt by Mike and the event team. Can't wait to see this evolve and continue.
This episode is even better than the first one, great job!
This AWESOME! I hope the producers don't encourage foolish, unneeded drama into this show. ☹😲😭Every athlete here is incredible! It's amazing to watch!
Hunters competition in this is Hunter. If you know of him he does wrestle and that event is similar to the broken skull ranch. Can’t wait till the next episode.
That was complete awesomeness!!
this is such an awesome series... such great set of athletes and so well put together!! Very excited for next episode!
Perfect timing. Just googled episode 2
How in the hell does Atkins beat Middaugh in mountain biking? Atkins may be the goat
I was thinking that too, thought atkins might be getting second on that one but he smoked errbody didn't he
I believe that Atkins does a ton of mountain biking in the mountains where he lives.
He was originally a mountain biker in the canadian pro team, he also does a lot of fat tire as well.
It may have been good for them to add he used to MTB for Canada in 24 hour MTB races haha! As far as I'm aware anyways?
Atkins used to race MTB regularly at the national level in Canada. He still does crazy long gravel and fat bike adventures too.
I love this competition, from Italy🇮🇹, thanks spartan🙏❤️
Absolutely love this challenge. Can't wait to do a deka.fit challenge!
Super fun events. I just wish the women’s coverage was at 50%. Just because Hunter makes drama doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get to see these dope ass ladies do their stuff
exactly! the event is amazing and thank you for doing this, but please stop covering drama and show who is in which place and how the women are performing
absolutely wonderful videos, keep going!

Loved it! Can't wait for episode 3!
can't wait for episode 3!!!!!
This is the best Christmas present! Just what we need to end this horrible year.
GO LAUREN!! RHINO TOUGH!! :D
This is just awesome!🤟💯

Nice job Spartan, really enjoying this!
#Teambulkpony
I don’t care who wins but,,,,Sam Briggs is my hero 🥳(followed by Bulk Pony)
awesome episode, awesome that you guys are making this allround test of fitness for all these different sports!!!!
Bravo to the production team. Camera work and coverage is amazing!
Fuck that gave me a grin seeing everyone cheering on Mike on those weighted burpees. That was freaking awesome
This has vibes of the early days of CrossFit. Sit up reps are cut a bit short, in CrossFit you would have to have your feet together and touch in front of them. Lots of ways to cheat reps here. Also lack of full extension in overhead movements. I think if this is to progress proper judging is important otherwise athletes can just cut reps to get a faster time.
Also the dumbbells are about 1/2 the weight they would be in CrossFit. But this sport seems to be less about testing all the domains of strength (including maximal strength and strength endurance)
But all in all cool to watch. I think it will change the fitness space for the better. Can’t wait to see all the OCR athletes strength training.
This just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next episode to add "and better" to the first part of my comment lmao
Really enjoying It!!
Much improved over last week! Really easy to track.
Hunter def more docile makes this more pleasant to watch. Loved this episode
May Newell's awesome mullet RIP 😢
Much better editing! Thank you.
37:08 that evil "oh no" "anyways" type convo
Really enjoyed these events and athletes.
Would love to see some male professional crossfit athletes partake.
True! But 5 hours on a mountain bike... ouch
Man I'm 13 and LOVE the spartan race but sadly this year I wasn't able to cause of covid in Monroe
The proportion of screen time on the men's versus women's competition is telling. I really like this content but really hope that there is more done to encourage equitable coverage of the competition.
Crossfit is 50/50 - Briggs, Kristi, etc. deserve at least 50% air time 😄🙌
If Hunter loses this event because of the penalty, that’d be a shame. He was my top pick after Episode 1, just a well-rounded athlete. Though it seems to me Ryan Atkins would place at least 2nd place on every primarily endurance-based event.
Multiday, multimodality, functional fitness competition. Spartan is stepping on Crossfit's toes :) Crossfit should have an "Athenian Race" at the next games with actual difficult obstacles to tweak Spartan back.
Love this!!!
Rewatching this while season 2 is currently airing....Season one is so much better. Really lost the spirit of camaraderie and curiosity in the current season. Such a bummer
we waited one week for two events? come on man! when is the next episode?
No wonder Sam Briggs got that this is a very CrossFit style event not Spartan...Spartan is definitely more of a racing and running competition more than anything else, that's why most of the elite athletes are runners. Crossfit (shout out to Toomey & Fraser) is more strength based.
Briggs is the best crossfitter in the world at an event like this. Not too heavy, just enter the pain cave and go.
The winner of this is a great athlete but by no means the fittest on earth..
That would be Mat Fraser 4x crossfit games champion..
Women ROCK! We are Gods Warrior's ❤ Crown 👑 Up! ❤
Everything is killer, need some more focus on Ryan Kent

Pulling for Brigs. And Hunter M with a bunch of no rep medball sit-ups.
Why not show the numbers they are pulling on the rower or riding on the bike? 99% of the people watching this would like to see that.
When’s episode 3 drop?
Need to get David Goggins on here. He’d dominate this
I would still bet on Ryan Atkins
lol. It's not a chest beating competition.
@@IdahoTylers which exactly why Goggins would kill this competition lol. Well except for the swim. That’d be his weakest point.
I wish they would run this like a Crossfit comp! I'm watching and have no idea who is in front and if I can figure that out I don't know how far they are in the lead. It should be play by play not a summary version. This is from a Spartan Racer for 6 years!
What happened to Shoemaker in the mountain biking event: only two laps, out of the points?
In the last episode it ended with the "Next time on Spartan Games" recap, it ends with a clip of Hunter and Mike arguing and Hunter says "If you want to turn this into a legal thing, I'll do it". Where was that in this episode? Did I miss it?
Why episode 3 was taken off TH-cam??????
How do I climbing and ocr racing ?
33:59 lol Hunter lives in this guy's head
Not trying to hate, but this coverage is pretty weak. I had no idea what was going on in the bike, who was in what place, anything. You need some commentation. Also for the rules of the competition, I know its your first time, but you got to be more structured and prepared. P.S. You did that guy pretty dirty, the only airtime he gets, you're showing him complaining
Agreed, documentary style aint working
It would definitely be cool if there was was like an hour long or some thing where they actually showed all of the events and everybody completing all of the events
The company who is editing this show is amazing as a commercial or trailer house. Not actual shows.
Cant wait for the whole show to come out.
Also Aaron seems like such a child.
"I'm wrong but Hunter was wrong first."
Beat him on the score board dude.
But that's asking for too much.
Dude was only featured on this episode when he was telling the other dude that he beat Hunter. Lmao amateur
😂Max
And Hunter did step on the line!!!
I'd hate to see what the advanced course looks like
Here's an interesting footnote: Crossfit's champs are "the fittest on earth" In the 1st 2 episodes II heard the phrase "fittest in the world." Humm, any comments out there.
I wish they would have showed more of the Dekafit head to head competition instead of the weird piecemeal montage that has no narrative
Really enjoying this series, so glad Spartan did this. Can't wait for each episode.
Side note, Hunter may have accepted but 5 min penalty for giving someone a Love Tap! Really? 30s maybe, but throwing a bucket full of rocks should have been a DQ...so he should stop whinning and except the 10mins.
