If you don’t know Michael’s hometown it’s often referred to as the Capital of South Africa, however it’s the Congress capital.

[@seanwood8883]

Woooow! I know that Pauline looked a really big and strong woman but knocking down Sahara who's massive herself with just one whack was unbelievable 👊💪

[@alessandramanas6996]

Gladiator ice... Gives the best advice ever

[@fathomflaw]

Fox, Thunder, Siren, Ice, Gold, Fire, Vogue, Rio, Shadow, Nightshade and Lightning are hot. Sahara was also hot.

[@mjo8138]

2018 anybody?

[@coordinator3039]

Kirsten was chosen instead of Michelle Grey because Michelle was an IR

[@sibusisoyoungsteezngwale8691]

I used to have a crush on Nightshade. May Sahara's soul rest in Eternal Peace

[@zanoxolosibakhulundlovuzid55]

I was 10 I think when I was watching this

[@JockBuschveld]

I actually used to have the gladiator FIre action figure

[@trinishanarain2101]

I have a theory: at 14:09 Sahara took a pretty bad knock to the head. This look like it jolted her a bit. In some cases, a blow to the head can cause an aneurysm to develop. A little over a year later, Sahara collapsed in the gym with a burst aneurysm. She was healthy and this was very unexpected. A part of me feels this horrible blow to the head may have resulted in an aneurysm. It's just my theory though.

[@nathanbarnes6869]

RIP Sahara. Show was never the same once she passed on.

[@diogeneslantern18]

Her funeral was at my school. There were thousands of people in attendance. Just thinking about it now makes me sad

[@kazvenson]

Damn this used to be the shit on a Friday evening. Good old days🤗😒

[@Juju2012ZA]

Same! I used to take “Blade’s” MMA class in Durban North a few years ago 😁 geez, this show is +2 decades old!

[@user-hq9wh9hq7n]

Wholesome entertainment I agree. Used to live for this

[@gquinn4159]

Must have been confusing for SA viewers having a gladiator called Gold, then another one called Gold also representing the UK but is actually South African.

[@coordinator3039]

She didn’t qualify for MTN unlike Laser who was an IR. That’s why.

[@macinhd4348]

I actually remember seeing this live.

[@SamanthaCowie-x9m]

It isnt. The same with.out christy skoglund sahara I.cried when she died.

[@marcconnolly5578]

The UK gladiators Are wearin. There Old and New costumes, they Prob Just grabbed the First ones they could find, the uk show was finished at This Stage , so some of the uk gladiators went to south africa to do This finał Series Fox and Gold Are fantastic New gladiators , Pity Gold was out With injury for her debut series, Fox was a Great selection, She and laser joined the south african gladiators,

[@coordinator3039]

Lightning Betts was a mother at that time so she couldn’t come.

[@eon001]

lol Spider 0:32 The SA Gladiators seemed like they had alot of personality lol 2:44 Was a driving licence a novelty for women back then in South Africa or what?

[@winddragon04]

this is just awesome cause i am from the USA and this is just sweet as hell to see, do you have any of the ashes series (not in the multiple parts like on here broken down by game and not like you have in parts) that you could upload?

[@coordinator3039]

I have spoken to Granite

[@jackjackson3769]

Love this line up of the female British Gladiators... I just wish every Gladiators names were unique and individual for every country, there no reason why they couldn't find original names. I was just thinking Fox really should be called Vixen.

[@Andy28548]

Shame our wolf and lightning didnt come All uk glads in new costumes bar rhino in faded old one

[@mvelobuthelezi3871]

My favourite mtn gladiator was warrior he had a great physique

[@seanwood8883]

That demolition run team of fox, siren, Gold and Rio, is one I'd love to take on if you know what I mean 😍😍😍😍💕💕

[@ryanwoodward2622]

Do you or anyone have the whole springbok challenge 2 series as would love to see all of those episodes

[@vickymills4772]

Welcome all to south africa good luck amazing show

[@theblocksays]

Vogue definitely got a better (hotter) outfit in this series, just wish there was more clips of her from MTN. Say a 5 minute loop of her doing the Macarena like in this intro? XD

[@georgesmith4476]

13:41 God Pauline is so hotttttttt

[@miakamimski9188]

Gladiator Ice likes things 😂 that big entrance!

[@sjoannebrown9305]

A great set of our glads sent over to drill those SA contenders

[@yandasiyotula1019]

Yoh this is my childhood

[@danielduong3212]

The South African contenders were the worst ever in both the Springboks and International series. Useless in other words. The Ashes and International 2 series was the best in my opinion.

[@coordinator3039]

USA had the best contenders for sure.

[@khositectdesign4098]

wow

[@terabyt9007]

O my gosh🤣

[@judithsekwati5856]

Miss this show so much.

[@aualga]

This looks like a cheap knock off of the UK version. (not trollin)

[@nathanbarnes6869]

It was pretty good actually. My favourite is Fire.

[@coordinator3039]

@@nathanbarnes6869 What About Granite?

[@coordinator3039]

Whiplash apparently was played on a pedestal

[@bigbabs86]

The gladiators from south africa were terrible clearly didnt have too much experience and too many of them have the same name as the uk gladiators

[@coordinator3039]

And some identical to the American gladiators
