Malaysians from across the nation put their strength to test to get one step closer to becoming a Malaysian obstacle warrior champion at the Obstacle Warrior 2021 National Championships. The practice rounds saw a performance of human strength and agility as contestants navigated their way through larger-than-life obstacles which proved very challenging.
With only a short window for each
participant to complete the course, this clearly was not a brain versus brawn situation
as contestants had to use both mental and physical abilities to finish in the
shortest possible time. Designed and developed in accordance with the
international standard obstacle course, Escape Petaling Jaya showcased 18
different obstacles with various difficulty levels.
The press
conference on 3rd December 2021 was attended by Deputy Minister of
Youth and Sports, Senator Dato’ Sri Ti Lian Ker, who witnessed the practice
round of the Obstacle Warrior 2021 National Championships Malaysia.
Set to take
place across three weekends until 19th December 2021, this event is
being held at Escape Petaling Jaya in Paradigm Mall, for the first time ever in
a shopping mall. This competition is opened for all to watch across the next
two weekends, with the epic finale on 19th December 2021.
Sanctioned by
the Malaysian Obstacle Race Sports Association (MORSA) and approved by the
National Sports Council, Escape Petaling Jaya and Paradigm Mall are the host
venue for this year’s event via a strategic collaboration between World Sports
Entertainment Sdn Bhd the event owner and promoter with Sim Leisure Group, who
designed and built the international standard Obstacle Course within the Escape
Petaling Jaya attraction.
Owned and managed
by World Sports Entertainment Sdn Bhd, this event is set to see Malaysian
contestants racing against the clock to become the final 20. This event is only
open to Malaysians and divided into three categories which are Male, Female and
Youth (Under 17) who will compete for a share of RM5,000 in prize money.
In light of
the Covid-19 pandemic, all participants will be required to arrive 90 minutes
beforehand and to comply with all safe practices and rules set by the
organiser. In order to limit the number of people on the premises at any one
time, there will be limited competitors competing within the hour,
individually.
Sharing his
comments, Andrew Ng, Executive Director of World Sports Entertainment said, “We
are very pleased to see that our Obstacle Warrior League has had such a great
start. We certainly look forward to seeing many great performances over the
next three weekends as more participants demonstrate their skills on an
international standard
obstacle course.”
He added that
he is extremely excited and cannot wait to see young and new talents emerging
at the forefront during the finals.
“I would like
to give my sincere thanks to all partners, especially to the Ministry of Youth
and Sports, National Sports Council, World Sports Entertainment and Sim Leisure
Group for making this happen. Also, thank you for always believing in the
spirit of sportsmanship and having a profound passion and love for this sport,”
said Alex Cheah, President of MORSA.
