Intro[]

The 9th Sportsman competition, official name: 「スポーツマンNo.1決定戦IX」 (literally Sportsman No. 1 IX) was the second Celebrity Survival Battle Tournament. In similar format to the previous Celebrity Survival Battle, various celebrities would compete in a series of Sportsman events to gain points. As the events progress, the competitors who would gain the least amount of points would be eliminated from the Survival Battle. This elimination would continue until the final event where the top six competitors would be left.

In this competition, three of the five Survival Battle events are brand new: Dodge Poles, Tail Impossible, and Log Sumo. With Quick Muscle and Shot-Gun Touch once again appearing from the previous Celebrity Survival Battle.

The prizes in this competition are as follows:

  • Event Winners would receive a Kyocera Digital Camera and JPY 200,000
  • Sixth Place Competitor would receive a JF Gourmet Card and JPY 100,000
  • Fifth Place Competitor would receive a Fitness Club Exus Gold Card and JPY 200,000
  • Fourth Place Competitor would receive a Dunlop Golf Set and JPY 400,000

  • Second Place Competitor would receive a Diamond Ring with Platinum Setting and JPY 1,000,000
  • First Place Competitor would receive a Mitsubishi Galant car and JPY 2,000,000

Apart from the Celebrity Survival Battle, a separate event named Monster Box World Championship (跳び箱世界一決定戦) also took place in this tournament. Three competitors would try to attempt the Monster Box at a higher level than the normal event. In the previous Monster Box World Championship, these three competitors managed to clear 21 Boxes (2m 86cm), with Vitaly Scherbo, at the time, went beyond and cleared the Monster Box World Record at 22 Boxes (2m 96cm). This event would be broadcasted as a filler in-between Tail Impossible and Log Sumo.

Survival Battle[]

Dodge Poles[]

The event itself involves two competitors standing on opposite sides of a platform with sixteen horizontal poles arranged on a 4x4 grid. These poles would have square-shaped foams attached on both ends with numbers embedded on the foam.

Competitors must push all of the poles until a competitor managed to topple their opponent in the platform. The winning competitor would advance to the next rounds. This process continues until the final round where the winning competitor becomes the No. 1 of the event.

Due to the nature of the event in which there are sixteen poles needed to be push to topple their opponents, it would lead to some of the rounds lasting for a long period due to competitors strategically resting on areas that is hard for their opponent to push over.

This would lead to an additional rule in the final round of the event where a round would last for five minutes. If the time allotted in the match is exceeded, then the competitors will reset for two minutes before attempting a rematch. In the rematch, the time limit is still in play. If the match exceeds the 5 minute time limit, both competitors will be crowned No. 1 in the event.
