Special forces veteran Sergey Badyuk became the host of the new TV show "Winners"

One of the main intrigues of the reality show "Winners" has been revealed - the name of the presenter has become known. The REN TV project, in which participants will have to pass tests beyond their capabilities, and only those who know firsthand what the will to win and a steely character are, can lead them.

My breath is knocked out, my strength is at its limit, and each new stage is harder than the previous one. No productions— just real emotions. Push a log weighing 150 kg, then climb on your hands without insurance, and then without a break to the firing line. The atmosphere on the site is heating up. The only one who is as calm as a rock is Sergey Badyuk, the project leader.

"Such a bright and loud beginning of the filming process of the show "Winners" promises that the project itself will be unforgettable for both the audience and the participants," said Kirill Solodkov, a correspondent for Izvestia.

Badyuk is a legendary man, a master of sports in six disciplines, and a veteran of the special forces. He knows firsthand what a real man's job is.

"This is not a show, this is life. REN TV is making a wonderful project that will be interesting to all viewers of REN TV, it's a men's project, real, honest," said Badyuk.

It's not just hard to participate in the show — the obstacle course is exhausting even for athletes who are used to the loads, and the special forces veterans are losing the race. Steep climbs, sharp descents, tests at altitude, ingenuity and extreme attention are required from the participants. "Winners" is the first tactical show on Russian television.

"We have a strip that is built for training special forces, and we have taken the most difficult exercises around the world that not every member of the special forces will be able to overcome. Our real heroes are immersed in this reality," Mikhail Tukmachev, Deputy General Director for Production at REN TV, explained.

Endurance and strength for these people are not a matter of choice, but a necessary work skill, on which hundreds of lives depend without exaggeration. Rescuer Andrey from Klin admitted that he had always dreamed of participating in such a project.

"At the very moment when I don't have the strength, when I don't have the energy, when I want to give up, will I still have this thread inside that will hold my will, or will it break," said rescuer Andrei Lyrica, a participant in the Winners show.

Another participant in the project, paramedic Olesya Trykova, has also been waiting for a chance to prove herself from an unexpected side for a long time.

"I look like an Amazon, I guess I'll be tearing up, throwing, and trying to get results and win straight," she said.

They have always saved others, now it's time to overcome themselves and prove that true strength is born on the edge of what is possible.
