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:
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
