Medicine Ball Gauntlet
In this obstacle, which was present for the first two episodes of Season 3 of the original American series, contenders were greeted by two Gladiators armed with giant medicine balls approximately 6 feet in diameter. The Gladiators were allowed to use the medicine balls to block the contender's progress and were allowed to double team the contenders. The wall that preceded the gauntlet was often knocked out of alignment due to the strength of the Gladiators. It was replaced by a second 8 foot wall on the third episode of the season.

“Authority, though it err like others,
Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
That skins the vice o’ the top.”

Big as the ball of my thumb, and dumb as eyes
Ebon in the hedges, fat
With blue-red juices. These they squander on my fingers.
I had not asked for such a blood sisterhood; they must love me.”
