2010 Sportsman No. 1 Monster Box Special栄光のスポーツマン№１決定戦スペシャル
PART FOUR
(PART ONE) (PART TWO) (PART THREE)
For a preview of what Monster Box is please refer to my blog on the 2010 Sportsman No. 1 Navi (a half hour show). For brevity's sake I will not post what I already did there. I also want to make clear that the entire show will not be posted here. I am only concentrating on Monster Box and any specials tied to previous Sportsman #1 events. Thanks everyone for being patient while I do this.. was sick with a stupid cold.. grrr...
Moving right along I'm not going to blog about the parts that went after that. Feel free to read Ube's blog about it. There was a baseball event, a golf thingie, the news.. and then this. A small glimpse of what I thought this show was going to be about.. Sportsman!! Anyway they start with Power Force which just happens to be one of my favorite Sportsman #1 events!!
They pitted Olympian Carl Lewis against Olympian Hammer throw gold medalist Koji Murofushi 室伏 広治 in the event called Power Force
Carl trying to inch forward as Murofushi is just not having it..
Finally Carl makes a mistake and starts to stand up giving Koji all he needed to inch forward and win the battle
Giants baseball player Kazuhiro Kiyohara 清原和博 against American football player Masafumi Kawaguchi 河口 正巳
Another struggle as they both fall to the ground trying to outpull each other!
Kawaguchi does the mistake of trying to get up again...
And they are both exhausted!
Next up is the gallon throw! This is where someone takes a barrel, throws it over their heads and hopes to clear a barrier behind them.
Distance of the wall is 6 meters (Approx. 19.6 feet)
Oh I recognize him.. he's a sumo wrestler! Asashōryū Akinori 朝青龍 明徳 (or as the kanji has it it's just his last name they are using - Asashoryu 朝青龍)
He cleared the 6 meter mark
Next famous 7 meter gallon throw (approx. 22.9 feet)
And he clears 7 meters
yeah.. you don't forget a face like that!
Onwards to .. holy crap.. 8 meters and 25 centimeters! (approx. 27 feet)
Wow he has the world record on this event??
Oh hey it's Bob again. Bob Sapp ボブ・サップ vs. a sumo guy I recognize! Kotoōshū Katsunori 琴欧洲 勝紀 or just Kotooshu 琴欧洲 for short as the kanji has it
Bob wins the tug of war
So nice to see sportsmanship these days :)
Asashoryu 朝青龍 again
Seems they have to move the big a$$ ball to one side. They go round and round with it for a while.. oh Ube says this is called "Spin-off"
Asashoryu looses his balance and falls
Okay back to Monster box! 2 centimeters and 36 centimeters (approx. 7.7 feet)
He looks reaaaally familiar but I can't place his name..World Record holder in the Pole Vault Sergey Bubka セルゲイ・ブブカ (Thanks Jelena :D )
someone else I don't know..
Seems he was surprised to see Gon beat 16 boxes!
Gon seemed surprised too! LOL
Back to the present.. oh it seems these are the names of the people to attempt 16 boxes.. there are quite a lot.
I'm sure they will be harping about him being the last All-Star standing
Kazuyuki Toda 戸田和幸 - Soccer player, Tomoki Kitagawa 北川智規 - Rugby player and Daisuke Miyazaki 宮﨑大輔 - Handball dude
He's .. oh nvm you should know by now how much I can't stand this guy..
Takeda looks like a fish out of water.. LOL
He easily clears 16!
Dai's pretty happy about that!
He looks nervous! LOL (as we go to commercials..)
Taking a LOT of deeeeep breaths..
Fidgeting as his name is called...
Deep breath again and he starts to run..
Big Jump...
And an easy clear!
More than enough space!
And he's PUMPED!
LOL he's celebrating big time!
And just beaming with pride!
More fist pumps! LOL
Nagano voicing his support..
and a big yell just as he jumps..
And proud support
LOL now he's reacting to Takeda's reaction..
Shingo joining in the fun!
All-Stars are relieved!
The rest of the big boys are proud as well
meanwhile Takeda is stil celebrating.. LOL
He's even audibly celebrating!
Poor thing he's so relieved to make it!
Bowing to the other competitors there
And again yelling his relief!
Replay of his jump
He got just high enough
And of course the reaction after he knew he made it
Passing popcorn ya'll :p
Dude.. that's .. cruel.. .. giggle..
he can't stop laughing at Shingo's comment
Meanwhile unaware that his friends are teasing him..
And actually says "so this is what it must feel like to finally beat stage 3".. I feel so bad for him now.. Sasuke 24 is still on his mind..
Baseball player Takehiro Ishikawa 石川雄洋
He clears 16!
OOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFF.. face first???
Wakky is just as surprised as I am!!
Blanik somersaults off the monster box after the failure
Didn't get all of the height he needed
Ouch.. face first.. yikes..
Leszek Blanik of Poland レゼク・ブラニク just smiles. He hopes to come back next year and do better than 15 boxes
Shunsuke Itou 伊藤俊亮 apparently fails 16 as well
Btw now we are at 17 boxes - 2 meters 46 centimeters (approx. 8 feet)

The guy here http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J31xTee0Pts/S200cVyF0UI/AAAAAAAAV0k/b6gSKPhcceI/s1600-h/vlcsnap-98961.jpg is Sergei Bubka, a retired Ukrainian pole vaulter, who still holds the current world record of 6.14 meters. But I'm guessing the footage is about 10 years old...
Oh at least 10 years. Sometimes they had dates on them but didn't say.. hmm hang on.. Born in 1963.. and it shows he was 37.. yep .. about 9-10 years ago. I knew he looked familiar! Thanks Jelena :D
LOL! No athletics fan will not recognize Sergei Bubka. He is the GOD of Pole Vault. :)
But then again i can't recognize the Olympic gymnasts as i don't follow Gymnastics. :D
Hey I watched a lot of the Olys when I was growing up and I have seen him.. just didn't know his name. :D I don't follow the sport excessively (especially lately) but we used to put on the Olympics when it was on and they always showed Track and field :)
