The Survival Sequence team event has consistently been one of the most exciting attractions at these 2016 Olympic Games. Team Canada produced two of the moments of the Games when Undisputed Champion DECEPTION produced a stunning come-from-behind victory on Day 5, and Jerrod stepped up to score four eliminations against Malaysia on Day 7!
A rematch of that 5-4 Heats win against Team Great Britain had every one anticipating the rematch in the Bronze Medal showdown. The story was very different this time, however -- Team GB's run clearly taking its toll. Liam took over for his fatigued partner, picking up a good two eliminations, but it was all over from there. Jerrod once again stepped it up to blast his way through the British national team -- untouched in a sprint to the finish! A fantastic finish to Canada's endearing run in the 5-Team Event! They'll be one of the teams to watch come Summer 2020!
In 2016, it was all a case of history repeating! The 2012 Gold and Silver Medal teams rekindled their rivalry - Australia hopeful they could improve upon their disappointing 5-2 Heats defeat at the hands of the dominant Dream Team. Those hopes quickly dissipated as Team USA stuck to the script of their first encounter, repeating the sequence exactly! Division 2 #1 Contender Benjamin once again dismissed BIGkev and Bronzie with ease, before The Alliance's former KFL Champion Statix put an end to that. "The U.S. Predator" TonyTheTiger had no trouble taking him out. Hall of Famer Oozaru made the save, but was wiped out by #1 Contender The Great Genku! None of the other Americans had to apply -- ElJobber's resistance reversed as Genku fought off devastating blows to secure the Gold Medal! A Dream Team USA win that never even required Ratt or "American Dream" Scott-Howell to fight! Unbelievable!
The USA entrench themselves at the top of the Medal Tally, adding their second Gold to the 3way Event won "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! Australia and Canada are equal 4th, each with one Silver and one Bronze!
