Between February 16 and 19, the Ski Apprentice Champions experienced a pivotal week. Major decisions reshuffled the competition’s deck. Before testing your knowledge with our quiz, let’s look back at the five events that you shouldn’t have missed.
1. The expedition that changed everything It all started with a decisive expedition challenge: the winning team gained the power to eliminate an opponent of their choice. The Yellow Team emerged victorious after a breath-taking race, securing a major strategic advantage. Meanwhile, anxiety rose among the Red Team as Marco and Paul became the targets. Ultimately, Paul left the adventure. This departure rebalanced the teams but also created palpable tension among the champions. The contestants realized that no position was truly secure.
2. A new couple makes it official Following the elimination, another event marked the week. After months of ambiguity, Laura and Marco officially confirmed their relationship with a first kiss. However, behind the emotional moment, the contestants couldn’t escape strategy. Julien Tanti tried to unsettle Anthony by casting doubt on Solène’s sincerity. Tensions rose but eventually subsided after clarification. This sequence confirmed that in this competition, emotions can influence the game as much as athletic performances.
3. The duo challenge that shakes up the teams With Surya Bonaly and Philippe Candeloro as mentors, the figure skating duo challenge became the most anticipated event of the week. For some contestants, it was an opportunity, while for others, a risk factor. Marco chose to train alone before joining Laura on the ice, creating a moment of doubt in their newly officialized relationship. Ultimately, the discussion eased tensions. The performance in pairs is set to be crucial for the prize money and approaching the finale.
4. The challenge of the ‘nuls’ overturned by a fall Undefeated in this format until now, the Yellow Team approached the ‘nuls’ challenge confidently. Tied together to climb a ski slope, they made a fatal mistake: Solène fell, leading the whole chain to collapse. The Red Team, driven by Julien’s desire for redemption, stayed on course and finally won the challenge. An unexpected reversal that completely changed the collective dynamics.
5. A race towards the finale more uncertain than ever With strategic eliminations, officialized couples, duo performances, and victory in the ‘nuls’ challenge, the week tightened the gaps. The prize money is changing, the teams are evolving. Contestants know that every mistake could be costly. And with the finale approaching, anything can still happen. While the Yellow Team is currently ahead, the Red Team might be on the verge of turning the tide.
