The drizzle and mud not only did not stop the big and small warriors from breaking the cocoon, but inspired them to perform at an excellent level, and after fierce competition, Alex Smith (3000:43) and Xu Fuli (27:55) successfully won the men's and women's championships in the elite category of the sprint race; Gao Jingfeng (57:36) and Wang Zijin (48:33) won the children's competition 54-12 years old male and female elite group champions, Xing Zhouming (14:39) and Wang Ziyang (07:43) stood out and won the 33-10 years old male and female elite group champions.
2023 marks the eighth year of Spartan Warrior in China, with more than 50,2019 participants with a diverse range of challenging and stylish offerings. The Spartan Warrior Race's bloody and exciting obstacle challenge, cool and fashionable interactive experience on the arena, and breakthrough and enterprising spirit have attracted a large number of followers, becoming the best choice for people who love fashion sports to challenge their own limits and pursue fashion trends. In this arena, the warriors are constantly exploring their potential and discovering a better version of themselves. "For eight years, the southwest region has been a region with a high demand for warriors, and we successfully landed the adult race, the children's race and the hurricane race in Chengdu in <> and last year. The unique geographical advantages, the combination of the historical Bayu culture and the hardcore Spartan culture, has laid a solid foundation for the warrior tribe to take root in the mountain city of Chongqing," said Liu Zheng, head of the Spartan Warrior Race.

Following last year's Chengdu race, the Spartan Warrior Race came to the Southwest Division again, with an adult sprint race of 7.3 km and 22 obstacles, and a children's race from 3.4 km to 5 km for children aged 4-14 years old, with 16-24 obstacles of different difficulty on the track. In the adult race, classic Spartan Warrior obstacles such as "Hercules' Challenge", "Baptism of the Styx", Orps' Forbidden", "Cornice Walking" and "Skywalk" brought extraordinary challenges to the mountain city warriors, while the muddy track and high-difficulty obstacles such as "Swimming Crossing" and "Mercury's Sceptre" added a lot of difficulty to the Warrior Challenge.
"Very challenging!" Mr. Zhang, who participated in Sparta's second race, said excitedly that he thought that his second participation in the sprint race would be enough to become an "old bird" in the arena, but the appearance of "crossing the water" obstacles such as "swimming" and the muddy and wild track made the 7km more challenging. "Before I came, I practiced my skills to clear various obstacles at the training camp and thought I was well prepared. Unexpectedly, the track still gave us a surprise, and the weather increased the difficulty, but this oppression of the limit, the feeling of breaking free of the limit is too painful. When Spartan first landed in Chengdu, he became the first warrior in the southwest region with the mentality of "going to the weekend to make it lively", and after that experience, Mr. Zhang began to exercise regularly, go to 'get close to nature' when he has time, and become self-disciplined and more confident, "I hope to do my best every time and challenge myself." ”

Like Mr. Zhang, there is Hou Jingrun, who is just eight years old. "I hope to compete in adult competition in a few years and be part of the elite group of players today," Jing Run, who participated in Sparta for the first time, secretly set himself a goal. Mr. Hou, Jingrun's father, said that he is a sports fan and hopes that his children will not be squeamish and resilient, so he cultivates his children's ability to face difficulties and solve problems by himself from an early age, and participates in various sports activities and outdoor experiences. I always see the sharing of "Little Warrior's Transformation Moment" in the circle of friends, and I can finally make Jingrun a member of the warrior at his doorstep, "I hope he can be as brave and brave as today in the future", Mr. Hou said.
