Physical: Asia Episode 3: The Shipwreck Transportation Match between Team Japan and Team Australia

Physical: Asia's third episode saw the second quest. For that, Group A was up first. Team Japan and Team Australia faced off against each other. After arriving at the site, participants witnessed a real shipwreck among the sand and water. Soon, the announcer revealed the second quest.

"Your second quest is...The Shipwreck Transportation Match. In this battle of the high seas, each team must transport over six tons of goods from the site of the shipwreck, to the cargo hold in your team's base. You must transport two types of goods. Large crates and small sacks."

While the crates were to be moved via air, sacks were supposed to be transported by cart.

"Whoever is selected to move the crates can not be replaced for the duration of the match. The duration of the match is 20 minutes," added Physical: Asia announcer.

Both teams were given some time to get ready and strategize for the second quest. Team Japan decided to have Hashimoto for air transport. As for Team Australia, they were also discussing who would be moving the huge crates via air.

"There is no one who is more comfortable in the air. I figured I should slip into the role," Dom Tomato from Team Australia shared.

Soon, with the sound of the whistle, the second quest began. Both teams rushed to the other side of the shipwreck to grab the goods. Each member of both teams was strapped to the rope and went by air.

While moving to the goods site, Physical: Asia participants faced various obstacles. Australia's rugby player got a 50Kg crate by himself, while Team Japan had two players carrying one crate.

Team Australia soon delivered the first crate to the goods storage. One of the female competitors from Team Australia talked about two opposing male participants:

"Two men on Japan's crates. I think that just gives us a boost of confidence."

While Team Australia was delivering the fifth crate, Team Japan was on their third. Physical: Asia's Katsumi Nakamura from Team Japan talked about the endurance:

"I could feel the difference in strength, at least, endurance-wise, when moving the crates. But when we switched over and started moving the sandbags...we were able to keep up a faster pace."

With ten minutes remaining on the clock, the weight was revealed. Team Japan was leading with 590Kg, while Team Australia was close with 550 Kg. Competitors from Japan chose to do more trips with less weight in the cart. However, their opponents chose to have a heavy cart.

After Team Australia transported all their crates, they decided to grab more from their opponents. Both teams pushed through until the end and delivered goods.

As the challenge was completed, the announcer revealed the second quest's results. Team Japan's total transported goods weight was 1,820 kg, while Team Australia's was 2,100 kg. As a result, Team Australia won the Shipwreck Transportation Match.


To witness both teams hustle in the second quest, fans can head to Netflix and stream Physical: Asia Episode 3.
