Yes, let's do this.
Welcome to Global Games, where real Olympians battle it out
with social influencers in games that we invented.
These challenges will test their strength, skill
and stamina on a level never seen before.
The participants will be competing in pairs,
but ultimately fighting to win the most individual medals.
The competitor with the highest medal count
at the end of the eight challenges
will take home the gold and the bragging rights
as the ultimate athlete.
Who will win? An Olympian, or a social influencer?
This is Global Games -
Chicken Fight Boxing.
I'm so excited to be here in Greece
competing with and against
some of the best athletes in the world.
All these amazing challenges with amazing people.
You got Olympic athletes here
that are so talented, that I look up to so much.
We have a twist to all these games
that are going to make them a lot of fun,
but they still are obstacles that we have to overcome.
I don't like to lose.
So competing with the world's greatest
is going to be a challenge for me.
But it's going to be a challenge for them as well.
- I'm Spice. - And I'm Mike.
And together we are...
Spice and Mike.
I thought we agreed on Mike and Spice.
- Oh, right. - Yeah.
OK, OK. Let's...
- I'm Mike. - And I'm Spice.
Together we are...
- Spike and Mike. - Mike and Spice.
- Goodness. - You messed up here.
I'm going to give you one more shot.
- I'm Mike. - And I'm Spice.
And together we are Mike and Spice.
There it is.
Third time's the charm, baby.
OK. OK. OK. OK, big guy.
Here's how it works. Blindfolded boxers fight
on top of their team-mates' shoulders
trying to knock down their opponent.
The team that wins two rounds out of the three gets the gold.
First up, Asafa and Luis versus Linlin and Derek.
My name is Linlin. I'm from China.
I'm a world champion speed skater.
Hard to say who will win the game.
I really like a challenge.
So I feel like I will definitely be fine.
Yeah, Linlin is a speed skater,
so she's used to all that zig and zag.
We'll see how that translates with her ducking and dodging
her opponent's swings.
Let's see how they do.
So who do you think is going to win this?
Well, not you.
I think we're going to kill it.
- Yeah. - We got it. Let's do it.
All right. So that'll be the winning combo, then.
It's a wrap. We're going to win.
Everyone's pretty confident, it seems.
So I guess we're just going to have to get to it.
All right. Asafa, we're going to put you to sleep.
In this challenge, Linlin is going head-to-head with Asafa.
I'm Asafa Powell.
I'm from Jamaica. I'm the former world record holder
in the 100 metres and Olympic gold medals.
I'm just a great guy. I'm all about the fun.
I love to win.
But if I'm not having fun doing it, it doesn't count.
This pair should make for an interesting match-up.
Will Linlin be able to knock out all 6'3" of Asafa?
Let's find out.
Are you sure you can hold him?
Look at this. Look at this. This is not a dream.
Enough talking. You talk too much. Let's fight.
I think they're going into it too confident.
You know about their tactic?
Like having Asafa on top instead of the other way?
Wait a second, Asafa's going on top?
Not sure that's going to be the best strategy.
It's time to... Bye.
Let's go!
Linlin's singing Asafa a bedtime song.
And Linlin knocks him down to win the first round.
- He just got KOed. - It just got serious.
Go!
Asafa lands with his right.
But Linlin is all up in his face.
And...oh, oh!
Who went down first?
No, you guys went down first.
They went down second.
- He's celebrating. - You guys won.
You guys won.
No, you guys went down first.
Let's see that again.
Asafa loses his balance first trying to land the left hook.
And ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
Their choice of having Asafa on top seems to have backfired,
as his size was no match for Linlin's speed.
- I want you on my team. - I told you.
- Can you be on my team next? - Talking too much.
We were confident. We might not have been
outwardly confident like these guys.
But inside, we knew that we had the goods to get the job done.
Don't worry.
That's me eating my words.
We will be back, I promise you.
We'll be back.
Our next match-up is Mikael and Andrew
versus Lolo and Alexia. You got a prediction on this one?
Yeah, I'm going to go with the ladies.
Lolo is an Olympic sprinter.
And Alexia is light and quick.
I think they got this.
We got this.
Hi, my name is Alexia Clark.
I'm a fitness influencer.
I create all kinds of workouts using basic exercises
and combining them together to make working out fun.
You can check out all my exercises at @alexia_clark.
I think we all have a very competitive personality,
so we all are going out to win.
You guys ready, or are you still procrastinating?
Still putting on your mouth guard?
She's just like a powerhouse.
She was saying on the bus that if she didn't bobsled
or do hurdles that she would be a fighter, which I think
is going to be a huge advantage in the chicken fights,
that's for sure.
Do you need a hand? Get it?
I really want Mikael to be my team-mate
because he's a skier,
so obviously, his balance is going to be great.
He's going to be able to move in and out like in the slopes.
So when it's go time, he's a fighter.
The two teams are in the water and ready to go.
Let's see who comes out on top.
Alexia going on the attack there.
Come on, Alexia!
But Mikael strikes back and she goes down.
And now they're set for round two.
Alexia goes hard after Mikael, again not giving an inch.
I really want to play with the guys for the championship.
But I really wanted a girl to win.
Now, it's time for the final tie-breaking round
to see which team advances onto the gold medal match.
Both teams are giving it their all.
Mikael and Andrew get the win.
That brings us to the second round for the bronze.
We've got Asafa and Luis versus Lolo and Alexia.
These girls are not going to beat me.
Do you want to get your gloves?
Luis and Asafa have corrected their past mistake,
and Luis is going on top.
Luis ain't holding back and gets the best of Alexia
to give his team the lead.
We'll be back.
Alexia and Lolo need to bounce back
right here if they want to keep their dream alive
of reaching the podium.
Push him! Push him! Push him! Push him!
Oh, Team Girl Power takes him down.
The bronze, and it's 1-1.
Should be a good fight.
Big finale here.
Lolo takes a bit of a spill.
Luis and Asafa are standing their ground
while Alexia is working herself off balance.
And she's down.
Yes!
It was brutal.
They were aggressive, but I was patient.
Team Speed, all right?
Bronze.
I mean, you got to give it up for the girls.
You know, they put on a good fight.
Asafa and Luis take the bronze after a hard-fought match.
You've got to give it to the ladies.
They hung in there, even though they were out-sized.
Preach.
Our final match is Linlin and Derek versus Mikael and Hendo.
Will Linlin be able to pull out another heroic feat
and take down another giant Mikael for the gold?
Let's find out.
We're going for Linlin and Derek.
- I think the guys. - Yeah, vote for the guys.
This is it.
They are about to throw it all on the line
for the first gold medal of these Global Games.
Linlin throwing some haymakers out there.
And Mikael counters back with a dominating
right hook for the first point.
One more, we've got the gold medal.
Let's go, we've got this.
Bring it on.
- You ready? - I'm ready.
This is Linlin's and Derek's last chance at survival
if they want that gold.
And she goes right for the chin.
Oh, he lost his glove.
Mikael's only fighting one-handed now.
Mikael powers around Linlin, and she's down.
No! Derek keeps her up!
They will not quit.
Oh, but Derek finally stumbles.
And Linlin goes down.
We have our first winners.
Mikael and Hendo get the knock-downs
and take the victory.
Linlin got some good hits in there,
but it just wasn't enough.
You got some fast people, we got some strong people,
but I've got a freestyle spirit.
They did a good job.
At the end of the day we bring home the silver.
So Mikael and Hendo take gold.
Linlin and Derek take silver.
And Asafa and Luis get bronze.
