With a loud boom, a contestant was thrown out by his opponent and fell to the ground, unable to get back up. Having gone through multiple matches to reach the semifinals, their stamina was nearly depleted, and once heavily slammed, it was difficult for them to stand again. Almost simultaneously, a slightly shorter contestant also claimed victory by using a leg-hugging move to throw his rival to the ground and then pinning him down to win the match. The referee announced the two contestants would advance to the final round and take a short rest before the equestrian event concluded and the final struggle commenced.
