Transcript:
Within Earths tallest mountains and deepest jungles… A mysterious Kingdom exists hidden from the world. Remaining locked in a time capsule. We’ve done some hard stuff but this is freaking tough. It is here where a secret competition is known among the world’s greatest athletes…The Tour of the Dragon. Few dare to enter this one-day, 268-kilometer race. Toughest part of this race is just mountain pass after mountain pass. And only a few will succeed. Climbing the freaking mountains is not easy…this is 10 times harder than I was thinking. Sometimes I guess I have to listen to my body so I’m giving up now. They ascend the Himalayas…and descend at deadly speeds. They race until their last breath…and then among the challengers emerges one athlete who can honestly say I’m the world champion.
