The Gladiator has the task of chasing and grabbing a flag which is situated on the Contender's back. The Contender has to evade the Gladiator and score points by pressing 4 evenly spaced buttons and if that wasn't enough they have to keep a firm grip on the Pendulum!.

Rules

Both competitors must move on the whistle.

The Contenders may not block the Gladiators from grabbing the flag.

If a Contender falls from the Pendulum the event is stopped.
