The seventh season of the sports reality show on the Telemundo network, Exathlon United States, came back stronger than ever in what they call their “world edition”with athletes of a very high level, changes in the mechanics, new circuits and many changes that its presenter Frederik Oldenburg calls positive, and precisely about that we spoke with him in The opinion.
Frederik joined Exatlón Estados Unidos from the fourth season and since then he has been involved with the competition in an absolute way and that is precisely why, before the onslaught of Hurricane Ian in the Dominican Republic, he came to feel devastated: “It was very hard, a day before we had walked around the circuit, and then we came back and it was completely on the ground. Seeing that was very strong, it was a wake-up call for everyone about our fragility at times like this, “he said.
But before this, came the spirit of resilience and quick response of each athlete: “no one asked anything, no one questioned anything. Everyone joined in helping, they joined in lifting each circuit, going to the towns and offering a helping hand. That community that has given us so much, that is with us and is loyal to us, the time has come to give back and we all did, and that makes me feel deeply proud,” said Frederik.
Once the United States Exatlon circuits were lifted, the new edition called “United States Exatlon: World Edition” began, with changes ranging from the accommodation of the athletes, the circuits, the levels, elevating the competition to another much more intense context. , but which Frederik Oldenburg assures is the right one for athletes: “We have never had this level; gold medalists, accomplished athletes who have seen what has happened in previous seasons and decided to join this one and prove themselves in the arenas.”
Changes in Exatlón United States
Precisely about the changes, Frederik Oldenburg said: “All change is good, all change is evolution, and we have made an effort to do this, listening to people, increasing competition, moving forward, and I am confident that we are doing it, especially in a year in which the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is coming, and so many other important events. Exatlón could not be left behind.”
And he definitely didn’t. Exatlón Estados Unidos Mundial Edition airs from Monday to Friday at 7pm / 6pm central on Telemundo, with special ruling Sundays.
