This Run Was A Perfect Reminder

Of Just How Nasty Mount Olympus Can Be.

They Slipped, Fell, And Went Through Pure Hell.

But That's What It Takes To Become A Titan.

And Now Derik Is Standing By With Cari.

Congratulations, Derik. You Are A Titan.

Yeah. How Does That Feel?

It's Better Than Any Fight I've Ever Won.

This Feels So Amazing Just Because

How Much That Course Really Did Test You.

That Boulder Was, Whoa, Like, Stupid Heavy.

You've Been Amazing Tonight. Congratulations.

You Are A Titan, And You Are Headed

To The Battle Of The Titans. Fantastic.

Thank You So Much.

To Be Involved In Athletics Growing Up.

Christiana, Tearing Through This.

Becoming A Titan Would Prove

That I Can Do Anything That I Set My Mind To.

I'm Gonna Beat The Competition

And Belief That Everybody Else Has In Me,

I Think Absolutely Anything Is Possible.

That Little Girl Who Was Never Allowed

To Play Sports As A Kid Grew Up To Be A Titan.

Derik And Christiana Did It.

They Came, They Fought, They Conquered.
