And in this match, the latter won. The two women are dating 20 minutes About their adventure between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
What prompted you to participate in “Beijing Express”?
Carolina: We’ve had this dream since I was a teenager. I wanted to finish everything my mom had given me since I was born. I’ve always lived only with her. It was a wish we had together, a challenge we both wanted to take on.
Arlette: I love this game, and I’ve been watching it with Caroline for years. Sharing this with my daughter when I reached an age when I had accomplished more than half of my life was perfect. It was just bliss.
You choose to face in the last duel Jean-Claude and Axel, grandfather and grandson, who have a similar dynamic. Why are they?
against. : Charlotte and Sarah had a disability [elles avaient dû effectuer l’étape accompagnées d’une femme portant une imposante statue]Suddenly, they couldn’t have been taken, it would have been badly played to do so. Tariq and Ahmed had already had one last duel, so we weren’t going to hit them hard. Therefore, in the judiciary, only Jean-Claude and Axel remained.
to me. : We knew that Axel was going to be the final duel and that it was going to be complicated for us because he’s so young, he runs so fast. We risked it.
She could have been more strategic and choose Charlotte and Sarah…
to me. : fully. There, we played with the heart. We didn’t want to take a person with a disability, even if we wanted to go too far in the game.
When you find out, after your defeat, that the event is indeed my elimination, how did you feel?
against. : At the time, it was a huge disappointment. We wanted to go to Jordan. We didn’t think we would win Beijing Express, but we were hoping to last a little longer. Then, we took it lightly, telling ourselves we had done half the game.
to me. : And then we were lucky to be taken Beijing Expressit’s enormous!
against. : We are proud of ourselves, of what we’ve done. We shared a lot of cool stuff with the locals, so it doesn’t matter. This is life.
What are your strongest memories?
against. : For me, that was when we won stage one. We didn’t expect that at all. There were many husbands stronger than us. It was a big surprise. When we see the pictures, we still have chills.
to me. : I agree with you on this game, it is our greatest memory. Wise wise, I would say the best moment was our first night in the homestay. We made friends with an adorable little girl. It was hard to let go. I will never forget it either.
Did you find out things about each other that you didn’t know?
against. : no. My mother was in the game as I know her on a daily basis. I know she’s been a fighter her whole life. I showed it in Beijing Express.
to me. : I knew Caroline was a fighter, quite athletic, and that she liked challenges, but what surprised me was when he tasted cow gut. I was totally amazed that she could eat it because she is so picky. And then, when I go to sleep with the locals like that, I didn’t think it would be so easy for her. Not in his nature. So I realized that my daughter is a woman and I should stop having her (laughs).
