<\/figure>\n While filming FOX\u2019s Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test<\/em> final June, three-time Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy was surrounded by a number of fellow faces acquainted to sports activities followers. Danny Amendola, Dwight Howard, Carli Lloyd, Nastia Liukin and Mike Piazza had been additionally forged on the present. A World Cup winner, a Super Bowl champ and the most well-liked New York Met of all-time all finishing particular operations coaching<\/a><\/span> for the leisure of viewers sitting on their couches a number of months later in air con. That is smart. What pure benefit does an X Games athlete have in that setting?<\/p>\n \u201cThe athletes have a background in sports. So we\u2019re used to pushing our bodies to the limits. And I think that that obviously came into play in the show,\u201d Kenworthy instructed Deadspin final week. \u201cBut I think that each contestant was really pushed to their own personal limits. And so someone who was 60 years old and someone who was not an athlete would get pushed in a different way than someone that was an athlete. So I feel like we all got pushed as hard as we could have gotten pushed. I do think that there probably was a benefit in being athletes. And I also think like for Dwight and Carly and Danny, being a part of a team sport I think probably helps as well because it kind of was like a team exercise and a team-building experience. And I think that they had a good foundation for that.\u201d<\/p>\n No different athlete on the present in addition to Kenworthy was an action-games athlete. Harnessing your adrenaline is essential in snowboarding and any sports activities you\u2019d see within the X Games, and Kenworthy didn\u2019t draw back from that in filming the present. He didn\u2019t get to indicate the complete vary of his athleticism throughout his look on MTV\u2019s The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros<\/em> in 2017 because it was a half-season for charity. FOX\u2019s viewers are getting the complete image. <\/p>\n \u201cI guess the things that some people were scared of didn\u2019t really bother me, like jumping out of the helicopter and like a lot of those things were fun to me,\u201d Kenworthy mentioned. \u201cThat\u2019s actually the reason I signed up for the show, because they were like \u2018Hey, you might have to jump off a moving boat, jump out of a helicopter. Do this, do that.\u2019 And I was like \u2018Oh, that sounds fun. I would like to do that if anybody asked me to anyway.\u2019 So I think that those things maybe I had an advantage because I\u2019ve done something that\u2019s kind of daredevil-ish for a long time. But I don\u2019t know if that actually helps a lot with the physical challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n The season finale Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test<\/em> airs Wednesday and whereas Kenworthy was tight-lipped about what\u2019ll transpire because the journey ends, he did share that the ending is \u201cshocking and exciting.\u201d Despite the struggles viewers will see every contestant going by means of, Kenworthy instructed Deadspin he\u2019d do one other season of the present if requested partially as a result of he appears to be like again upon the expertise fondly.<\/p>\n\u2018Shocking and exciting\u2019 end<\/h2>\n
