Mr World Sports Final 1st Czech Republic 2nd Norway 3rd Malta Around sixty contestants put themselves forward for a series of timed physical tests aimed at separating the men from the boys. Only the strongest, fastest and most determined would make it through to the Mr World 2010 Sports Final where the sports champion was crowned. Mr World Sports is an optional fast track event, but around 50 contestants turned up for the preliminary judging. Overseen by the sports coordinator, the contestants were pushed to their limits with press ups, sit ups, squat thrusts and other timed circuit training exercises. The contestants will power as well as stamina and strength was tested as the top 20 contestants who performed the most number of complete exercises in one minute would go through. The results were tallied the top twenty were announced as:
South Africa, Thailand, Belarus, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Malta, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Denmark, Honduras, India, Kazakhstan, Macedonia FYRO, Panama.
From these only the eight contestants with the best times would make it through to the Mr World Sports Final. The top twenty gathered round and congratulated each other before eagerly anticipating the announcement of the finalists. They were:
South Africa (Red Team) Thailand (Red Team) Belarus (Blue Team) Cyprus (Blue Team) Czech Republic (Blue Team) Malta (Black Team) Mexico (Black Team) Norway (Black Team)
There was a great satisfaction amongst the finalists as many of them had gone through a morning of hell, where their muscles were stretched and their determination fully tested. It was announced that all finalists would face each other in a straight race down on the nearby beach. The eight then refueled at lunch and rested for a few hours before travelling down to the beach in the afternoon. The final race consisted of a 300 metre track set up on the sandy surface which was specially chosen to sap the energy from the leg muscles. They top eight limbered up before taking positions on the Start/Finish line. It was a close contest but Czech Republic held the initiative throughout and it was no surprise to see him cross the line in first place. He was followed three seconds later by Norway who also ran terrifically. But it was the fight for third place where the race really came to life. In the last five metres third place changed three times. It looked like South Africa had the podium position before he tried to run faster than his legs could take him and fell flat on his face. Then Cyprus took the position but stumbled a mere metre away from the finish line. He couldn’t stay on his feet and much like South Africa before him, ended up with a mouth full of sand. This flurry of excitement at the death allowed Malta to steal in and snatch third place.
Final results: 3rd Malta 01.20 2nd Norway 01.12 1st Czech Republic 01.09
Czech Republic will now go into the Mr World 2010 Semi-Final as Sports Champion. The Sports Final is the third and final fast track event after Korea won the Talent Final and Brazil won the Mr World Top Model.
