GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, who is called YouTube king by his devoted fans, recently unveiled his unique version of the Olympics. This video has gained remarkable traction, amassing an impressive 37 million views since being released.
However, the aspect that remains etched in both the fans' and MrBeast's memory is the astonishing twist that concluded the video.
MrBeast is known for pushing his boundaries and establishing new benchmarks with each challenge he undertakes in his videos.
His previous endeavors, such as his inventive take on Squid Game, have significantly contributed to his extensive and dedicated fan following.
MrBeast's Olympics culminates in an unexpected twist
In the video's initial moments, MrBeast takes the lead in outlining the regulations of the challenge, aptly dubbed the MrBeast Olympics.
With a participant hailing from each country brought to the US for this unique venture, the YouTuber tells the contenders they will engage in a series of five distinct competitions: track, gymnastics, archery, fencing, and penalty kicks.
Eliminations will take place after each stage, ultimately culminating in the triumph of the final survivor.
In the track event, every participant dashes towards the finish line with the clock ticking. Yet, the hurdles prove to be a significant hurdles themselves, leading to the entanglement of a few contestants.
Ultimately, 97 countries manage to clear this round, with Indonesia emerging as the undisputed victor.
The subsequent round introduces a sprawling stage furnished with robust platforms flanking either side and a central podium interconnected by movable balance beams.
Resembling the challenges of the American Ninja Warrior, two teams of five confront this course in a fierce battle to reach the central podium.
However, only the initial five among the 10 who reach this central platform progress to the ensuing round, making this stage a blend of teamwork and strategic sabotage, with 47 countries left.
The third stage takes on a simpler tone, with each contender tasked with hitting a distant target using a bow and arrow. However, a unique twist emerges as participants are required to cast votes for specific nations.
The target's distance from its original position is determined by the number of votes a country garners. Indonesia, which had exhibited prowess in previous rounds, amasses six votes, leading to a target miss.
Eventually, 16 countries advance to the subsequent round.
In the fourth stage, traditional fencing rules apply, where the first participant to make contact with their opponent using a saber emerges as the victor.
Before the round's commencement, MrBeast bestows $10,000 upon each remaining contestant, granting them the option to exit the contest if they so choose.
Italy and Fiji opt to accept this offer, resulting in only seven participants progressing to the climactic final round. The ultimate round unfolds with each contender attempting penalty kicks into an unguarded net. Any miss entails elimination.
MrBeast added more challenges by introducing various obstacles, leading to a showdown between Slovenia and Libya. Notably, they are permitted to guard the goal as makeshift goalkeepers during the final kick.
Libya saved Slovenia's penalty and reciprocates with a goal of their own, clinching the coveted $250,000 gold medal.
While enthusiasts embraced the video's concept, many were taken aback by the unpredictable early eliminations of prominent nations. MrBeast himself admitted that he found the conclusion unexpectedly gripping.
He revealed that all participants were awarded $2,000 for their participation.
