International Differences
In Australia, the power pads are much larger than in other territories and the contenders may not run directly at the Gladiators. Doing so will result in disqualification. In the United Kingdom and America, contenders receive 2 points for each Gladiator they get past. After passing the last Gladiator, they must run through a wall at the end within 30 seconds to claim 10 points. Both the British and American Gauntlets have wire walls to prevent contenders from being removed from the Gauntlet. In Britain, body armour is used by both contenders and Gladiators. In America and Australia, only the contenders wear body armour. In Sweden, the event was known as Gatloppet and lasted for 25 seconds.

Famous quotes containing the word differences:
“No sooner had I glanced at this letter, than I concluded it to be that of which I was in search. To be sure, it was, to all appearance, radically different from the one of which the Prefect had read us so minute a description.... But, then, the radicalness of these differences ... these things ... were strongly corroborative of suspicion.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
