Introduction
Gladiators Ready
Gladiators, a sports entertainment television show, has been one of the most defining game shows since the 90s in the United Kingdom, as well as across the globe.
Athletic members of the public battle as Contenders against the show’s mighty Gladiators to earn points in an array of different events.
The Contender with the most points earns a 0.5-second head-start for each point difference in a race over the dreaded Eliminator course. The first to finish wins the episode and moves on to the next round, hoping to be crowned series champion!

Internationally, an additional seven events were conceived that have not featured in the UK domestic series, taking the total tally up to thirty-nine.
The one constant across every episode is the final event, The Eliminator.
