Inside the Leaderboard: Men’s Quarterfinal Recap

The Individual Quarterfinal is over, and Tommy Marquez analyzes the men’s continental leaderboards.

Marquez takes a look at the average height, weight, and age of the male competitors moving on to Semifinals and compares them to that of past Games athletes.

Later, Argentina’s Nicolas Bidarte, the overall winner in South America, joins Marquez to talk about relocating to Las Vegas to train under Justin Cotler and shares his experience training with athletes like Kari Pearce and Bethany Shadburne.

Bidarte says it’s “insane” training with other athletes like Pearce and Shadburne.

“(I) have to push much more than I used to because before I came (to Las Vegas), I was training alone, especially during the pandemic,” Bidarte says.

Bidarte says he dislikes online competitions, which was one reason why he decided to move to Las Vegas, but is “super happy” with his accomplishments in the Individual Quarterfinal. Bidarte is looking to have a similar outcome at Semifinals.

The content is great, thank you, but the background music in these videos is distracting.

North American men win 4 out of 5 tests? Your own Data shows Europe faster in 1 and 3 no? In fact in test 1 America was 5 out of 6. Not as stand out as you suggest maybe 🤔
