One day, I decided to stop practicing gymnastics
and started with parkour.
I got where I am today because I always did
what my heart told me to do.
When I saw the Beast, I knew
that my parkour skills would come in handy.
My name is Zigzag, and I am the Ultimate Beastmaster.
I work at BOPE.
The elite squad of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State.
It's very dangerous.
We are trained to face the scum of mankind:
the drug traffickers of Rio de Janeiro.
When the police have no other resources,
we are called.
So, Guilherme, how did it go?
It wasn't my day.
Well, I put down real beasts.
I put down men of flesh and blood.
So let's see what happens with this Beast. It's apparently super huge.
But I think Brazilian jujitsu will win this time.
Well, I'm an oenologist at my family's vineyard. I make wine.
This beautiful challenge brought us together:
my parents, my brother, and me.
It's all about us, and that vineyard represents
the effort, the discipline, and values we have as a family.
Come on, please, Santiago! Let's go!
Santiago's gone!
Why, Santiago? This night's hope,
Mexico's hope!
I'm obsessed with perfection.
So I want to be good at what I do and be in good shape.
Go get 'em, Tiger!
I will now gut the Beast
and turn it inside out.
I was a gymnast.
After that, I went to the circus.
My training is diverse: acrobatics, posture, movement line...
I do CrossFit.
And this makes me a very powerful athlete.
I'm prepared to use my strength, run, hang,
whatever it takes.
- Go, Brazil! - Go, Brazil!
Good job, Brazil!
I don't want to see.
- He did it! - He did it!
Oy, Phelipe!
Oh, my God. For God's sake.
By participating in this contest,
I'd like to show off my skills.
To show I'm a man.
This is for you.
A key point to win
in this contest is to beat back your fear.
His feet caught it! Come on!
He fell!
I knew if I fell in there, I'd be dead in the water. So I kept at it.
Go!
Like a pro!
So close!
Concentrate. Take your time.
If he has a bad performance, we will go to the Germans' booth.
- If so, we'll make fun of the Germans. - Yes, we will.
- Yes! - He got the rope!
- Hold on tight! - Pull yourself up!
- Well done! - I almost had a heart attack there, Hans.
We passed them.
Our Brazilian colleagues.
- Brazil is winning. - No.
- Yes, absolutely!
Marco Cerullo, Germany, is number one.
- The Brazilians made a little mistake. - One second!
They know how to dance and shake their ass...
- We lost the game to those guys! - But they are really bad at arithmetic.
She has the nickname Zigzag.
- Zigzag. - That means she goes like a train.
1.52 meters. That's two yogurts stacked on top of each other.
No!
But she was really fast.
I acted like a fool making fun of the Germans.
- I laughed at the Germans. - That's nothing new for you.
And we lost to Germany... again!
I cannot stand losing to Germany.
It's not possible. It's getting boring.
- Finally! - It's him!
- South! - Korea!
- Go! - That's right!
Oh! Daesung Korea!
- He's standing up! - Lift yourself up!
C'mon, Silke!
- C'mon, Silke! - Go!
Come on, Silke! Come on!
Silke! Germany!
Silke Sollfrank!
My shoe! I had a lot of fun.
We're all part of Silke's run.
I'm proud to be 100% Mexican.
I started gymnastics when I was three. It defined me as a person.
I was the first Mexican to win a medal in a World Cup.
I feel gymnastics has given me
the tools I need to face the Beast.
His Olympic dreams vanished,
- but he'll be the Ultimate Beastmaster! - There he goes!
- Santiago's doing great. - Great timing, too.
Look at him go. He's doing great!
- Yeah! - Well done!
It was enough. As I said at the beginning, I'll get to Level 3.
I'm not competing against them, just myself.
I wanted to finish it.
Go, Mexico! Let's win this thing!
By becoming the Ultimate Beastmaster,
I'd like to tell the world that the most important thing
is to constantly continue challenging yourself.
I will become the Ultimate Beastmaster! I'll give it my all!
- He stopped! - Come on, Shimofuji!
He fell!
Here, it seems he threw in the towel.
I'm a CrossFit coach.
Well, I was on the national team.
I was a weightlifter for Korea and had that training
for the Olympics and Asian Games.
That's it!
- Hyunho Kim. - Very good!
All that weightlifting now pays off!
- That's it, that's it. - Yes!
Wow, Level 2 is way harder.
Much, much, much harder.
I was raised by my mother and my aunt.
My mother always wanted me
to follow the path of sports.
If I win, and I will win,
that $10,000 will not be for me.
It will be for my mother and my aunt.
I'm so nervous right now. Oh my.
It's the real-life video game.
Take it easy. Please.
Hold on. Don't fall.
One of our favorites. We lost, but...
We made fun of the Americans saying that he was better and...
Rafinha and I are hoping he will get through this first phase.
This way he will eliminate the American, and we can make fun of Terry Crews.
Let's go, Marco!
Marco, c'mon! Marco!
Come on, Marco!
He is exhausted.
I'm way out of my comfort zone.
I've never done these obstacles before.
This is the time to let my abilities act.
- Swing it! - You mentioned gymnastics?
Of course, the gymnastics on display.
Santi, my man!
We got lost in that one
and got scared to death.
- Come on, brother! - Santiago!
It's not true! It can't be!
That was slippery.
And shaky, which changes everything.
It moves. I couldn't grab it right.
I believe the key to victory here
is measuring your jump well
and following through calmly.
What's the matter, Shimofuji?
The jump didn't quite go the way I wanted it to.
My footing kind of gave way.
What a pity!
While I was a coach, the members told me
that there was nothing I couldn't do.
So everything expects me to win.
A lot of pressure.
They all cheer for me.
- He grabbed it! - Yes!
Past the Ejector!
He was so good.
His arms gave out.
I know.
I was gonna do this.
I'm not doing Taekwondo enough.
I should practice it more often.
Level 3 will be quite challenging,
but I am the only girl to come this far.
I did really well.
I don't have anything to lose.
Mexico!
Germany!
- Silke! - Yes!
Silke Sollfrank flies through this level.
Look at that! With that cool move,
Silke wins over the heart
of the audience.
Extraction is up next.
- That's right up her alley. - Yes.
Now she moves hand over hand
from one to the other. This only took her
a little more than a minute. Great performance!
She got the pole!
She has to use that momentum
to reach the other pole.
Hold on!
No!
Are you disappointed?
Not at all. I think I got very far for a girl.
We all took you into our hearts.
Germany loves you. A huge applause for Silke Sollfrank!
In physical aspects, I was a weightlifter.
Stamina, strength and power...
I think I'm the best in those.
I feel gymnastics has given me
the tools I need to face the Beast.
To raise Mexico's flag, to compete in its name...
fills me with pride and happiness.
Beast, you've met your match.
Ultimate Beastmaster.
Korea, I can do it!
- Hyunho! - Santiago!
Let's go, Santiago!
Mexico!
Come on, buddy!
- He touched it! - Hyunho Kim from Korea!
Wow, it's really...
It's amazing.
I never expected it to be this spectacular.
It was really fun and I won't forget about this.
I made good friends,
and Santiago was great, too.
I am Beastmaster. Yeah!
