The American athletes tend to be big guys... like the Navy diver and the US Olympian guy. They're big and strong and can usually dominate the 1st/2nd stages 'cause it's mostly speed/power based. But they *always* get crushed by the endurance stage (stage 3) 'cause it's all about hanging from obstacles for long periods of time... it don't matter how strong and physical you are, if you have to hang 220 lbs from your finger-tips, you're not going to do as well as the 5'4" Japanese guy that weighs 120 with 3% body fat.
