Physical: Asia Episode 4: Team Thailand vs. Team Korea - Second quest

After two matchups between Group A and Group B, the third match was between the Group C teams. This included Team Korea and Team Thailand. Physical: Asia Episode 4 featured the second quest between the two teams. It was called the Shipwreck Transportation Match.

As Team Thailand and Team Korea arrived at the Shipwreck site, they were amazed. Soon, the announcer revealed the task and the upcoming elimination.

"Objectively speaking in terms of strength, endurance, everything, our team outclassed theirs," confessed Team Korea's Kim Dong-hyun.

Both teams on Physical: Asia were tasked with transporting goods to the designated storage. For that, there were crates and sandbags. While crates weighed 50kg each, Sandbags were worth 20kg each. Additionally, for crates, there was air transportation. For sandbags, there was a dedicated cart.

Soon, the challenge started. Both teams rushed to get crates and sandbags. Team Thailand's James confessed about the crates. He noted that his team was falling behind. Hence, they could not afford to have two people moving each crate. Soon, he got a crate on his bag and started moving.

Seeing James, determined and moving the crates on his back, his teammates were impressed.

"We planned it from the start. It was really simple. James and Sun would stack about four crates for me. And that way, I could just keep moving them across without wasting any time," confessed Superbon.

While Team Thailand was on their fifth crate, Team Korea was dropping their 4th crate. Seeing Superbon moving quite quickly over the zip-line, James confessed that it gave him a surge of energy.

"I shouted in-sync with my movements. Like a soldier," confessed James from Team Thailand.

Opponent team's captain, Kim Dong-hyun, confessed that James was their dark horse. Both teams' participants pushed way beyond their limits and kept going. Some of them also shared that with sand and water in their shoes, it was not easy to walk and climb.

However, Physical: Asia participants pushed themselves to move forward without any breaks. Team Korea cheered for each other to motivate and keep going.

"When I heard my teammates cheering for me, it gave me strength. I was ready to fight," confessed Team Korea's Min-Jae.

He had been collecting and moving the cart full of sandbags to the top. Seeing him pushing the card all by himself, his teammates applauded his efforts. However, soon he felt blood coming out of his nose. He confessed that he didn't realize how much he had pushed himself.

Both teams kept moving until the last second. After the challenge was over, the announcer revealed the final score. Team Korea moved 2,120KG goods, while Team Thailand moved 1,380KG goods. It resulted in Team Korea's victory.
