The Titan Games recap: We meet the final four new challengers of the season
One Titan fell, while another stayed strong.
This was a big episode for season two of The Titan Games. The third segment of the East Region’s competition marked the last introduction of new challengers. From here on out, it will be returning challengers, and then finally, our reigning Titans in the championship.
On the women’s side, Courtney Roselle didn’t allow Shantal Athill a chance to gain an edge. For the men, Blake Broadhurst met his match in Josh Porter. On Mount Olympus, Haley Johnson was finally unseated, while Will Sutton was country strong once again.
Read on to find out how it all happened!
Game one - Nuts and Bolts
The challengers: Courtney Roselle vs Shantal Athill
The moment: Shantal trailed behind Courtney when it came to stripping the weights off the obstacle. Courtney moved for the rope with over 350 lbs still on her wall. It was a risky decision, especially when she was unable to tip the wall over. This could have been Shantal’s chance to overtake her, but Courtney was able to run back, remove more weight, and lock in the win.
The winner: Courtney Roselle
Game three - Lunar Impact
The challengers: Courtney Roselle vs Shantal Athill
The moment: Shantal had ONE misstep when she slipped at the top of the ladder. That was all it took for Courtney to reach the wall first and slide Shantal right off the platform. Courtney would be the new Titan contender.
The winner: Courtney Roselle

- Haley Johnson vs Courtney Roselle
Haley and Courtney put together a tight race. In the Cage Crawl, there were moments they looked like mirrors of one another. Both took off for the Ball and Chain. Courtney got there first and made short work of the journey to the Titan Tomb. Haley did meet her there and managed to make up time. Both cracked the concrete and started digging, but it was Courtney who came up with her hands full and took the Titan title for herself.
