Physical: Asia quests, results, eliminations & winner

Contestant in Physical: Asia

With Physical: Asia Part 4 on Netflix now, we’ve broken down all of the games, results, eliminations, and winners so you know where the competition is at – and who could be crowned the strongest nation.

Physical: 100 took the world by storm when it debuted on Netflix in 2023, with the Korean reality series seeing 100 athletes of varying ages, physiques, and genders going head to head in grueling challenges to win a huge cash prize. 

After Season 2 last year, Physical: Asia has arrived, and it’s proving to be just as nail-biting as the original. In this version, teams of six contestants from eight countries (Korea, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Mongolia, Australia, and Turkey) battle it out to be crowned the strongest nation and win one billion Korean won ($700,000).

The show has some huge athletes in its cast, including boxing legend Manny Pacquiao (at least for the first half) and Muay Thai icon Superbon. Now you know the context, let’s get into the results. Warning: spoilers ahead!

Quest 1 – Territory Conquest results

Quest 1 in Physical: Asia

In a surprising twist, the show kicks off with a team challenge instead of an individual one. It takes place on a vast Dune-like set with circular plots at the top.

The eight teams must work together to take control of one of the plots across three rounds, using brute strength to push, pull, and drag opponents off the sand. They have two minutes per round, and once time is called, whichever nation has the most contestants on an individual plot will have conquered that land for their team. 

The four winning teams will advance to the second round, at which point the four plots will reduce to two. In the third and final round, the two winning teams will battle it out for a single plot. If a tie occurs, a one-minute overtime rematch decides the result.

The team that wins the Quest gains a crucial advantage: the right to decide all matchups for Quest 2.

Quest 2 – Shipwreck Transportation Match results

Quest 2 in Physical: Asia

If Quest 1’s theme was Dune, Quest 2 is Pirates of the Caribbean. In this challenge, teams must haul as much cargo (50kg crates and 20kg sacks) as possible from a wrecked ship to their base using zipwires and carts. Each match lasts 20 minutes, testing both endurance and coordination.

Teams are paired up and must compete against each other, with the team to get the most cargo shifted crowned the winners. Since Turkey won the first game, they get to choose who is paired with who.

The stakes are higher in Quest 2, as the losing teams are at risk of elimination.

Quest 2.5 – Death Match results

Quest 2.5 in Physical: Asia

In this round, the four losing nations from Quest 2 – Japan, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia – face off in a sudden-death elimination round.

The challenge combines water, sand, and a ball in a pond. Teams have to seize the ball and score a goal within three minutes. Each match is best of five rounds, alternating between one-on-one and two-on-two setups. If time runs out, proximity to the goal or rematches determine the winner.

The four teams are split into two groups, who will compete against each other. Out of the four, the team who moved the most cargo in Quest 2 – Japan – gets to choose the matchups. The losing teams from Group A and Group B will be eliminated.
