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.

After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
