On December 21 (Sunday) from 6 PM, 'Who is the Ultimate Man!? The Strongest Sports Men’s Summit 2025 Winter' will be broadcast on TBS. This time, 'Sports Men' will be held with an audience at Tokyo's Ariake Arena, featuring a battle for the title of 'strongest' among 14 beautiful men. With cheers from many fans gathered at the venue, attention is drawn to this serious competition where muscle enthusiasts representing various fields stake their pride and honor. The ultimate box-jumping competition, 'Monster Box,' features Yuto Seko, a representative of Japan in high jump. The 'Beach Flags' event, testing explosive power and running ability, includes Shun Yuyou, a representative in the 100m. The ultimate strength contest 'Power Wall' has Motonaga Naganuma, a javelin representative. The 'Hard Jumper,' testing endurance and guts, includes Riku Ito, a representative in long jump. Four representatives from the 'Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships' will make special appearances, standing in front of the 14 participants in each event. How will the 14 participants aiming for the title of 'strongest in the entertainment world' challenge the national team athletes? The Japanese representatives from the World Athletics Championships, which generated significant buzz when held in Tokyo this summer for the first time in 34 years, will further heat up the winter 'Sports Men.' In the 'Shotgun Touch' event, competitors dive to touch a volleyball falling from a height of 10m before it hits the ground, marking a revival after about three years, featuring elite members of the relay samurai and sports men. The relay samurai includes Yuki Koike, the first runner in the Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships men's 4x100m relay, Shota Iizuka, a silver medalist in the 400m relay at the Rio Olympics, Naoki Tsukahara, a silver medalist in the men's 4x100m at the Beijing Olympics, and Shuhei Tada, who holds the Japanese record for 50m and participated in the men's 4x100m at the Tokyo Olympics. Can the elite sports men defeat them? Furthermore, someone from this group will challenge the world record. 'The Strongest Sports Men’s Summit 2025 Winter' will be broadcast on December 21 (Sunday) from 6 PM. The moment the 'strongest' man is decided is a must-see. ■ Broadcast Information TBS 'Who is the Ultimate Man!?
