00:00:20♪
00:00:27Not two, but three whole new arenas.
00:00:31♪
00:00:36Not three, but five whole tribes.
00:00:38♪
00:00:43Unseen challenges and battles so far.
00:00:46♪
00:00:51And impossible conditions for survival.
00:00:53♪
00:01:01After five hot seasons,
00:01:03under the scorching south sun in the Stranja mountains,
00:01:06this summer, games of will conquer the wild north of Bulgaria.
00:01:11Here nature is not mother, but master.
00:01:14Cruel and unpredictable.
00:01:16And because you shine with your might,
00:01:18there is no way not to believe in a higher power.
00:01:21♪
00:01:51♪
00:02:11♪
00:02:42I repeat,
00:02:44one whole tribe falls directly,
00:02:46and without an appellation.
00:02:48Without a shelter, without an island,
00:02:50without battles to enter the game.
00:02:52Ticket, plane, and who from where.
00:02:56And while the losers fly home,
00:02:59the winners will raise the high banner of the 4th Army
00:03:02in the war of the tribes.
00:03:04Two DNA, five tribes.
00:03:07I think we're starting strong.
00:03:09Oh, yes.
00:03:10We are expected to fight a total of 40 wars,
00:03:13some of which will turn into battles.
00:03:16But as we told you at the beginning,
00:03:18the north is ruthless.
00:03:20Here it is the first of our heroes
00:03:22who will try to conquer it.

00:11:24Alex?
00:11:25Gala!
00:11:26Nice to meet you!
00:11:27Don't call me man, I'm not a man, you know?
00:11:30I want to tell you that I have an unpleasant surprise.
00:11:34Tell me.
00:11:36Don't laugh.
00:11:38At this moment I realize that there won't be an arena,
00:11:42there won't be a battle,
00:11:44but I can't wait to find out what else is going to happen.

00:17:56Borisenko.
00:17:59Borisenko.
00:18:02Borisenko.
00:18:05Borisenko.
00:18:09If we have to live together here, we will do it,
00:18:12because I am prepared to do it.
00:18:14I don't expect anything from him as a man.
00:18:17I have been sleeping for 52 days on the sand.
00:18:20Without showers, without cosmetics, without any idea.
00:18:24I have no problem. I merge, I adapt, I adapt to the moment.
00:18:29He doesn't scare me at all, he doesn't pressure me.
00:18:32Right. This is very scary.
00:18:35Right now I am...
00:18:38Very scary. I like how he confirms it.
00:18:41I'm glad you didn't think about it.
00:18:44I'm in shock right now, you know.
00:18:47When I imagine that we have to do something about this,
00:18:50it becomes super... super scary.
00:18:58I didn't feel the energy of a man,
00:19:01when he said to me, since I'm a woman,
00:19:04calm down, I'm a man and I know what I'm doing here.
00:19:08What do you think, will someone else come?
00:19:11Should they? Do we want someone else to come?
00:19:14Somehow I got in there,
00:19:17and I saw a man who asked me,
00:19:20but how are we going to light a fire now?
00:19:23What are we going to do now? How are we going to do it?
00:19:26And accordingly, I got into the male role.
00:19:29We are waiting for someone to come, but if he doesn't come...
00:19:32If he doesn't come, we have to...
00:19:35We have to go and see what to eat for dinner,
00:19:38and what to drink, to see what this mountain has to offer.
00:19:41We have to find some djanki.
00:19:44No, the men have to be sheep, maybe this mountain has something.
00:19:48I'm not a woman to eat djanki.
00:19:51At the end of the earth to light a fire,
00:19:54I would be a stranger to the world, you know.
00:19:57Me too.
00:20:05Hello. Welcome.
00:20:08Welcome. Who are you?
00:20:11Who am I? And what are you doing here?
00:20:14I'm Stanislav. Alex, nice to meet you. Alex, nice to meet you.
00:20:17I'm Gala. Hello.
00:20:20Nice to meet you. What are you doing here?
00:20:23Can you light a fire?
00:20:26How are you?
00:20:32I was surprised.
00:20:35I was surprised to see two young men trying to light a fire.
00:20:38I didn't think I was coming for that.
00:20:41It just threw me into a corner, as they say.
00:20:44Only 12 hours of flight.
00:20:47I'm almost in Bulgaria.
00:20:50We're ready to play the ball.
00:20:58Hello. I'm Stanislav Hristakev, 32 years old.
00:21:01I'm from Haskovo, but I live in Naples, Florida.
00:21:04I'm an athlete, a model and an actor.
00:21:09I came to Florida in 2015
00:21:13to pursue my American dream.
00:21:16It wasn't exactly what I expected.
00:21:21I've changed 17 places of residence in 8 years.
00:21:27I started from scratch,
00:21:30at least 12 times.
00:21:33Every week, I drove 1,000 kilometers.
00:21:36Back and forth, to work, to casting.
00:21:39One day, my agent called me
00:21:42and said, there's a casting for football players.
00:21:45Do you want to go?
00:21:48I always went to the casting.
00:21:51The long-awaited moment.
00:21:54I started my career with the Super Bowl commercial.
00:22:02There were almost 1,000 candidates.
00:22:05Only 8 were chosen.
00:22:08And I, the heaviest of all the players,
00:22:11was going to be there.
00:22:14But the reason was that the heaviest one
00:22:17had to destroy the castle.
00:22:20We shot on a private beach for 6 days.
00:22:23The shots were 12-14 hours a day.
00:22:30This commercial opened a lot of doors for me.
00:22:33I even have to say that I refused
00:22:36to shoot in the States,
00:22:39because I wanted to be here, on Bulgarian soil,
00:22:42and shoot in a volleyball game.
00:22:45I've practiced 7 sports.
00:22:48Handball, tennis, ping-pong, volleyball, basketball, football.
00:22:51Now I do fitness, crossfit,
00:22:54running, swimming.
00:22:57I skate on the beach.
00:23:06I jump with a parachute.
00:23:09I believe that what I've learned from a given sport
00:23:12will serve me, will be useful to me.
00:23:15And now, being in the game of volleyball,
00:23:18I can combine everything I've learned from these sports
00:23:21to use it and win.
00:23:27One of the few things that America
00:23:30hasn't been able to change in me
00:23:33is, of course, the folk music
00:23:41and the volleyball.
00:23:51I listen to volleyball regularly.
00:23:54I believe that everything I've been through
00:23:57has prepared me for this moment.
00:24:00Here and now.
00:24:03And I'm ready.
00:24:10Tell me something about you.
00:24:13What do you do?
00:24:16Are you married?
00:24:19Do you have a wife?
00:24:22I have a wife, yes.
00:24:25I work a lot.
00:24:28A nice man. Young man.
00:24:31Okay, I'll ask you this.
00:24:34Tell me something you want to tell us
00:24:37and you think it's very interesting for us to hear it.
00:24:40For you.
00:24:43I believe in good and I believe in people.
00:24:46If I trust my intuition,
00:24:49there's something you'll figure out first.
00:24:52Are you a model?
00:24:55No, I'm a psychologist.
00:24:58A doctor of psychology.
00:25:01Her questions were very direct
00:25:04and she wanted to know more about me.
00:25:07What do I do? Where am I from?
00:25:10What is my life like?
00:25:13We've known each other for 5 minutes
00:25:16and what do you remember?
00:25:19About me.
00:25:22That just tells you to be more careful.
00:25:28Hello.
00:25:31How are you?
00:25:34Hello, nice to meet you.
00:25:37Who are you?
00:25:46Hello, my name is Martin Kanev.
00:25:49I'm 25 years old and I'm from Sofia.
00:25:52I graduated in Computer Science
00:25:55at Southampton University in England.
00:25:58I graduated in 2021 and now I work as a software engineer
00:26:01and I develop secret financial systems.
00:26:04Thanks to my coding,
00:26:07transactions for hundreds of millions of dollars
00:26:10can become a fact.
00:26:14Or not.
00:26:20I'm 25 years old and I take almost as much as a deputy
00:26:23and I actually do something meaningful.
00:26:26My sense of humour is a bit specific,
00:26:29sometimes it's a bit hot-tempered,
00:26:32and sometimes it's ironic and sarcastic.
00:26:35Sometimes...
00:26:38I make fun of someone and I'm shocked.
00:26:43I consider my opponents in the game of will to be
00:26:46very dangerous.
00:26:49And now it's time to talk about sports.
00:26:53Yes, I wear glasses,
00:26:56I'm minus 2.5, I'm a bald guy, but I don't drink.
00:27:02When I was 4 years old, I was thrown into the pool
00:27:05and I didn't know how to swim.
00:27:08Of course, I have medals, gold medals,
00:27:11I have a medal from the Madras Olympics,
00:27:14I have a second place from the Republican Games.
00:27:19I've been training other water sports,
00:27:22all kinds of surf, windsurf, kitesurf, podisurf
00:27:25and diving.
00:27:29I've been playing tennis,
00:27:32I've been skating for a few years at the university
00:27:35and for a few months I've been doing crossfit.
00:27:38At the moment I'm in very good physical shape.
00:27:42When you look at me with those eyes,
00:27:45I'm sure there are some who are better physically prepared.
00:27:50But there's one thing I'm very good at,
00:27:53and that's puzzles.
00:27:56I can solve them with closed swords.
00:28:01When I start solving puzzles,
00:28:04I just enter the zone and I can see someone
00:28:07who can solve them very quickly.
00:28:15The fact that I'm good at puzzles
00:28:18is a knife with two blades
00:28:21and I put the target on my back.
00:28:24But my physical preparation is my shield.
00:28:28They send me to battle,
00:28:31I go back and show them where the sun comes from.
00:28:37So those who think I just enter to participate
00:28:40are in big trouble.
00:28:43I enter to win.
00:28:46Yes, I know everyone says that,
00:28:49but it's different for me.
00:28:52The time is 17.45
00:28:55and these are my last minutes in the office.
00:29:08At this moment, I quit my job.
00:29:11I'm not afraid to quit my job,
00:29:14because after the game of volleyball
00:29:17I will have 100,000 euros in my pocket
00:29:20and with them I will be able to prepare for the All-Star season.
00:29:23And no, I'm not crazy and I'm not making it up,
00:29:26I'm just looking a few steps forward.
00:29:38Did I make the biggest mistake of my life?
00:29:46We've been struggling to light a fire for a long time.
00:29:49How long have you been struggling?
00:29:52Well, we got here, the sun was totally warm.
00:29:55Okay.
00:29:58I'm wondering what's going on here.
00:30:01Where is the rest of the tribe?
00:30:04Where is the rest of the participants?
00:30:07Where is the battle? Where is the arena?
00:30:10We were like that for 5-10 minutes.
00:30:13You look at yourself in the mirror for the first time
00:30:16until you get used to the situation,
00:30:19because you don't expect to see what you see.
00:30:22You're a little shocked, right?
00:30:25What did you expect?
00:30:28I expected to go to the beach and swim.
00:30:31You're very nice. Are you a model, an actor?
00:30:34No, I'm not. IT.
00:30:37In front of the computer.
00:30:40I don't know if we're a tribe yet,
00:30:43but if we are, I'm starting to like him.
00:31:01Oh, yes, baby!
00:31:04An uninhabited beach.
00:31:07It's beautiful.
00:31:16Okay, we're here.
00:31:19It's good, brother.
00:31:22I'm going to have a great time here.
00:31:31My name is Pavel Nikolov, I'm 35 years old.
00:31:34I happily work as an artist-performer, a lyricist.
00:31:37People know me as part of the former duet
00:31:40Pavel and Vence-Vence.
00:31:44It was a tough year.
00:31:47We won a lot of awards.
00:31:50We won the duet of the year,
00:31:53the song of the year.
00:31:56We were all over the country,
00:31:59on all kinds of stages,
00:32:02we watched all kinds of TV shows.
00:32:05It was a great year.
00:32:08It was a great time.
00:32:11We watched all kinds of TV shows.
00:32:14We hit the ceiling in Bulgaria.
00:32:17It was a great adventure.
00:32:33Last year we celebrated
00:32:36the 10th anniversary of the Vence stage.
00:32:40That was the beginning of the end.
00:32:45By the end of the year
00:32:48we had agreed that our music
00:32:51would go in different directions.
00:32:54It would be best for both of us to separate.
00:32:58Most people think that a young, successful rapper
00:33:01would spend his money on stupid things
00:33:04like outfits, alcohol and women.
00:33:07I built my own studio.
00:33:12I worked with some of the strongest people
00:33:15in Bulgaria.
00:33:18Miro, Ljubokirov, Asantra, Krisko, Dara,
00:33:21Mihaela Marinova.
00:33:24I think that our show business is very small.
00:33:27What do you think about that?
00:33:30Our show business is very small.
00:33:33But the most difficult moments
00:33:36for me were my problems and weaknesses.
00:33:39I was addicted to drugs when I was young.
00:33:42I quit smoking two times in my life.
00:33:45I was addicted to drugs when I was young.
00:33:48I was addicted to drugs when I was young.
00:33:51I was addicted to drugs when I was young.
00:33:54I quit smoking two times in my life.
00:33:57It was difficult, but nothing was more difficult
00:34:00for me than making and saving video games.
00:34:03In the most difficult periods
00:34:06I spent 16 hours a day.
00:34:09That means that you have little time
00:34:12for the most basic everyday activities
00:34:15and little time for sleep.
00:34:19I had a frozen brain,
00:34:22apathy and depression.
00:34:25I'm not that kind of person.
00:34:28I lost motivation to work.
00:34:31I lost motivation to go to the studio
00:34:34and mix the songs or write new ones.
00:34:37I lost motivation to go to the studio
00:34:40and mix the songs or write new ones.
00:34:43I've been playing games for two and a half years.
00:34:46The end of this period came unexpectedly
00:34:49with a gift for my birthday, COVID-19.
00:34:52with a gift for my birthday, COVID-19.
00:34:55COVID-19 kept me for 10 days
00:34:58and gave me enough time to sit down
00:35:01and say that I don't like the image in the mirror
00:35:04and that I choose the image in the mirror
00:35:07and that this choice requires steps.
00:35:17I grabbed the console.
00:35:20I started to eat properly.
00:35:23I started to exercise regularly
00:35:26and I gained weight very quickly.
00:35:32The end of my addictions
00:35:35and my new healthy lifestyle
00:35:38gave me the courage to commit
00:35:41to the dream I've had for 5 seasons.
00:35:44to the dream I've had for 5 seasons.
00:35:50I see a flame in the participants' eyes
00:35:53that says I've been through a big adventure.
00:35:56Maybe a life-changing adventure.
00:35:59And I wanted this flame for myself.
00:36:05Most likely, I'll be a target for my boss
00:36:08Most likely, I'll be a target for my boss
00:36:11and I want to prove to everyone
00:36:14that I'm not here for the visit.
00:36:17I'm a realist.
00:36:20I know that physically I'm not at the level
00:36:23of the athletes who will participate.
00:36:26I have a lot to catch up with.
00:36:29But I don't think I'm a complete piece of shit.
00:36:32I enter without fear, without naivety, but without fear.
00:36:35I will fight with my teeth and nails.
00:36:385 SEASONS
00:36:44You watch 5 seasons and prepare
00:36:47for something specific.
00:36:50And when it's your turn...
00:36:53Boom!
00:36:55Coming to an absolutely deserted, foggy beach
00:36:58with no participants around me
00:37:01I immediately start making all kinds of films.
00:37:04I immediately start making all kinds of films.
00:37:07I don't know what season I'm in,
00:37:10if this is a school island,
00:37:13what I'm about to do,
00:37:16if I'm going to start making films,
00:37:19where I ended up.
00:37:25Razgir!
00:37:28I've been waiting for you for a long time.
00:37:31How are you?
00:37:35Let's go!
00:37:38My name is Svetlin Mitev.
00:37:41I'm 24 years old and I'm from Sofia.
00:37:44I've been preparing for the Games all my life
00:37:47because I've been in over 15 different sports.
00:37:50When I found out that this show exists
00:37:53I decided to give it a try and here I am.
00:37:56I don't know if I'm very fit.
00:38:02I started playing sports
00:38:05when I was still in kindergarten.
00:38:08By the end of 7th grade
00:38:11I fell in love with basketball.
00:38:14My dream was to make it to the NBA.
00:38:17That was the thought that woke me up
00:38:20and that was the thought that put me to sleep.
00:38:23It didn't matter what the weather was like.
00:38:26I trained in the rain and in the snow.
00:38:33I'll never forget the day
00:38:36I came to the University of Indie
00:38:39in the state of Ohio.
00:38:42I was in the 7th heaven.
00:38:45I was happier than ever.
00:38:48I couldn't wait to go there.
00:38:52In less than a week
00:38:55everything was back to normal.
00:38:59Unfortunately, the coach didn't know I existed
00:39:02and there was no place for me in the team.
00:39:07Despite that, I decided to grit my teeth
00:39:10and take advantage of the chance
00:39:13to watch the American basketball from the first row.
00:39:17In the second year, I was invited to the team
00:39:20but unfortunately COVID came
00:39:23and everything ended very quickly.
00:39:26I graduated from the university with honors
00:39:29but unfortunately I had to give up my basketball dreams.
00:39:36My new love is calisthenics
00:39:39because it's a very beautiful sport.
00:39:42You can master your body in any way
00:39:45and you can master it in everyday life.
00:39:48Thanks to my sports enthusiasm
00:39:51my goals with FIFA and GOG were achieved
00:39:54and I started training with them.
00:39:59I started competing with them
00:40:02and that's when we decided
00:40:05I was ready for the arena.
00:40:08Because of calisthenics, I believe
00:40:11I will be the strongest element in the games.
00:40:16I'm good at swimming
00:40:19but I'm also the best.
00:40:22I've solved a lot of puzzles
00:40:25and I don't know what to expect
00:40:28but I think I have a logical mind
00:40:31and I'm fast, so I'm not worried.
00:40:36Maybe the only component
00:40:39I'm fully prepared for
00:40:42are the fights outside the arena,
00:40:45namely the social game.
00:40:48I don't want to participate in any intrigues
00:40:51and to be involved in intrigues
00:40:54but I'm ready to happen
00:40:57because there's no way to get away from it.
00:41:00I'm fully aware that there's a big chance
00:41:03they'll send me to fights to protect my tribe
00:41:06and I don't want to be afraid
00:41:09because I'm going to gain experience
00:41:12I'm going to win more people
00:41:15I'm going to gain self-confidence
00:41:18and amulets, amulets, swords, everything.
00:41:21No matter what path I take in the game of football
00:41:24I'm sure my name will be remembered.
00:41:27For centuries!
00:41:35There's literally no one here.
00:41:38Yes, I was waiting for the tribe to gather
00:41:41and tell me that these are the enemies, beat them.
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:46Have you ever shot a gun with your bare hands?
00:41:49No.
00:41:51I need someone more...
00:41:54Yes.
00:41:57He's probably used to more attention
00:42:00than the average person.
00:42:03I just hope he doesn't reach the ace of spades
00:42:06and get me out of here
00:42:09and that I have to get him out of a difficult situation, so to speak.
00:42:18I bet he's going to hit the girl.
00:42:22We have someone else here.
00:42:25What's up, guys?
00:42:28Good to see you.
00:42:31Hello.
00:42:34I like the way you look.
00:42:42My name is Georgi, I'm 33 years old and I'm from Pazarchik.
00:42:45I'm a construction engineer
00:42:48for a large infrastructure facility in the city of Sofia.
00:42:51Roughly speaking, I've removed over 20,000 cubic meters of concrete.
00:42:54But I'm not famous for that, thank God.
00:42:57The first to enter the arena is the challenger,
00:43:00a strong man and even smarter, Georgi Geshev!
00:43:03People started recognizing me
00:43:06after the casting battle last year
00:43:09when I defeated the champion Milan.
00:43:12How do you feel in the arena?
00:43:15I was sure he was going to crush me
00:43:18until Dimo said action.
00:43:21At that moment, everything in me turned upside down.
00:43:24I turned into the Terminator of the arena.
00:43:27No problem for Georgi.
00:43:30He's really uncompromising.
00:43:33I wasn't interested in anything else.
00:43:36I just looked ahead and repeated slowly and methodically.
00:43:39Let's see the champion.
00:43:42The arena is closed.
00:43:45At the moment, Milan is closed with the whole arena.
00:43:48That's how I managed to win Muscle and Politus.
00:43:51The end!
00:43:54The battle is over.
00:43:57Victory for Georgi.
00:44:00The champion is dethroned.
00:44:03I proved that I'm not underrated,
00:44:06even that I'm not a professional athlete.
00:44:09If I hadn't discovered CrossFit about 7 years ago,
00:44:12I would still weigh 130 kg
00:44:15and watch the games on the couch at home.
00:44:20CrossFit is my passion and way of life.
00:44:23It turned out to be a given to me
00:44:26and I started to compete.
00:44:29I even won FIFA.
00:44:32I know I'm naturally strong,
00:44:35that's why they stuck the ball over my head.
00:44:38I prepare for any kind of manipulators
00:44:41and when I have to, I hit them hard.
00:44:44I'm not aware that the ball is over my head
00:44:47because I'm a strong player
00:44:50and everyone wants to shoot at it.
00:44:53But no one will kick me from my goal, which is the final.
00:44:56The third one is over my head,
00:44:59and I won't hit the others either.
00:45:02After a year,
00:45:05it's surreal.
00:45:08You've been waiting for it for so long.
00:45:11Is this really the moment?
00:45:14In front of us, you have the experience of the arena.
00:45:17The boy looks very prepared.
00:45:20I'm starting to worry
00:45:23because everyone in my tribe is great at training,
00:45:26they have great machines,
00:45:29and I'm the weak link.
00:45:32He's not asking a question, is he?
00:45:35No, he's not.
00:45:38We can already see the ball.
00:45:41Will he be able to orientate you?
00:45:44He will.
00:45:47Why is she standing out?
00:45:53Do you know her?
00:45:56This is Reni.
00:46:00Let's go!
00:46:16The hair should be in the front.
00:46:19Or can I do one part?
00:46:22Now the other part.
00:46:25Every time we shoot,
00:46:28I'm like this.
00:46:31I have a stage fright.
00:46:37If I need to introduce myself,
00:46:40don't use TikTok.
00:46:43I'm Reneta Georgieva,
00:46:46I'm 28 years old,
00:46:49and I'm an influencer.
00:46:52The exact profession for a volunteer.
00:46:56The whole idea for Suzy and Reni
00:46:59was my sister's idea.
00:47:02She was inspired by other twins
00:47:05who had a lot of followers
00:47:08and danced and said,
00:47:11this is us.
00:47:14When we have more than 1 million followers
00:47:17on social networks,
00:47:20we have 100 people left to make 1 million in TikTok.
00:47:23Follow us to make 1 million.
00:47:33The most famous video we became famous with
00:47:36was a Bali video.
00:47:39Suzy was like, let's shoot this Bali video.
00:47:42While Suzy was getting ready,
00:47:45we had more than 20 million views.
00:47:53We attracted people because we are natural.
00:47:58We are inseparable.
00:48:01We have always done everything together.
00:48:04The whole family believes in you
00:48:07and you are our winner.
00:48:13I don't participate in volunteer games for followers.
00:48:16I participate to get away from social media.
00:48:19What is life without a phone?
00:48:23Wow!
00:48:30For people who underestimate me,
00:48:33I will say that sport has always been a part of my life.
00:48:36I trained handball,
00:48:39I danced for many years,
00:48:42which is also a sport.
00:48:45I went to all camps in Nesja.
00:48:48I swam in deep waters.
00:48:51I can't stop training.
00:48:54I even surpass myself while training.
00:48:57I am surprised by the things I do in the gym.
00:49:00Let them underestimate me.
00:49:07My weapons are that I am a woman,
00:49:10that I can make people talk to me.
00:49:17I play with people who can think first.
00:49:20They are not the first,
00:49:23they are not strong.
00:49:26You can't enter this show and be strong.
00:49:29Actually, you can.
00:49:32This is your choice.
00:49:35But for me, this is not the goal.
00:49:38How will you deal with hunger?
00:49:41Hunger...
00:49:44How will I deal with hunger?
00:49:48I hope there will be donuts,
00:49:51raspberries, apples, cherries.
00:49:54Yes, I will starve.
00:49:57I will be even stronger.
00:50:00I won't have the strength,
00:50:03but I believe I will get an adrenaline rush.
00:50:06I will think about it.
00:50:09No, I won't.
00:50:12I won't reach the river.
00:50:17Pray for me.
00:50:26How are you, sister?
00:50:29Are we there yet?
00:50:32We are getting closer.
00:50:35We are watching a fairytale.
00:50:38A fairytale in white.
00:50:41And we thought, where did this girl go?
00:50:44She came to the tribe of the winners.
00:50:47Yes.
00:50:50Let's talk about something.
00:50:53Do you have a lot of followers?
00:50:56No.
00:50:59I travel the world,
00:51:02people know me.
00:51:05If I go out on the street,
00:51:08no one will know me.
00:51:11You are a famous tribe.
00:51:14Yes.
00:51:17You are famous,
00:51:20but I don't know you.
00:51:23We have more than a million followers.
00:51:26No, I don't have that many.
00:51:29Only a million followers on social media.
00:51:32I felt so bad,
00:51:35that I couldn't meet them.
00:51:38I don't know many people in Bulgaria.
00:51:51I am Magdalena Ivanova, 20 years old.
00:51:54I was born in Sofia,
00:51:57but I have been living in Idaho for 16 years.
00:52:01We moved to live in the States
00:52:04when I was 4 years old.
00:52:07This is the school where I studied
00:52:10from 1st to 5th grade
00:52:13together with my brother and sister.
00:52:16In my first years at school,
00:52:19I didn't know the language so well
00:52:22that I even missed the bus stop
00:52:25to get home.
00:52:29I was so nervous
00:52:32and I will never forget it.
00:52:35I felt out of place
00:52:38because no one understood me.
00:52:50But things changed
00:52:53when my parents enrolled me
00:52:56and I started to succeed.
00:53:04When I think about my childhood,
00:53:07I only think about training and sports.
00:53:10And there is no other way
00:53:13because my father is Ivan Radnev Ivanov,
00:53:16vice world champion
00:53:19and 5th in the Olympic Games in Atlanta.
00:53:22In America, my father became
00:53:25a role model in the classical wrestling.
00:53:28My father was a national team coach
00:53:31and under his leadership,
00:53:34for the first time in American history,
00:53:37the team became world champions in 2007.
00:53:41My father's success is not only in sports.
00:53:44My father is the author of the training systems Suplice,
00:53:47which are known all over the world
00:53:51My mother and father started a family business
00:53:54from nothing, from one idea.
00:53:57This is how you can find
00:54:00the Bulgarian training bag
00:54:03in the gyms from Daedalus to South Korea.
00:54:06Welcome to my second home.
00:54:09Here, my father and I and our team
00:54:12train instructors and coaches.
00:54:15In the morning, I teach fitness classes
00:54:18and in the evening, the gym is full of kids.
00:54:21But it wasn't like that in the beginning.
00:54:24No one knew anything about Suplice
00:54:27and for 4-5 years I traveled with my parents
00:54:30to competitions and exhibitions.
00:54:33We stored the first bags and dolls
00:54:36in our museum because there was nowhere else.
00:54:39While the other girls played with dolls,
00:54:42I played with wrestling dolls.
00:54:46My mother and father did everything by themselves
00:54:49and I was like an experimental bunny
00:54:52and I couldn't wait to try everything new,
00:54:55but not like a children's game.
00:55:06My father trained me and later
00:55:09I became world champion in Bulgarian bag.
00:55:15This is my favorite one here in this gym.
00:55:18Thanks for watching, have a wonderful day!
00:55:21It took us 6-7 years to make Suplice.
00:55:27We did it.
00:55:30We made it together.
00:55:33But don't think that we bake
00:55:36on the beaches of California with a cocktail in our hands.
00:55:39No, in America, money doesn't fall from the sky.
00:55:45We wake up at 5 AM almost every morning.
00:55:48We don't have time for 24 hours
00:55:51and this is my dream to make the day longer.
00:55:54This is part of my work during the week.
00:56:02When you spread a few pieces of dolls and bags,
00:56:05the manicure is done.
00:56:08You can see this only once a year, with varnish.
00:56:14This is how a family empire is built.
00:56:17Work, work and more work.
00:56:20We always work together,
00:56:23me, my mom, my dad, my brother and my two sisters.
00:56:29They will say, this one has no other life
00:56:32except for her family.
00:56:36When I was invited to the casting,
00:56:39I was at the national championship in Las Vegas.
00:56:42From there I went to Sofia.
00:56:45I feel very prepared,
00:56:48because I never stopped training.
00:56:51In sports, gymnastics, wrestling and judo,
00:56:54I have great success.
00:56:57I think they will try to notice me,
00:57:00because I don't look cute, kind, naive.
00:57:04But no one knows what's going on here.
00:57:11This is something scary.
00:57:18I am the daughter of Ivan Radnev Ivanov,
00:57:21the creator of Supless,
00:57:24Bulgarian bag training system.
00:57:27So you are physically prepared.
00:57:30Yes, I am very healthy.
00:57:33I have been training for 10 years,
00:57:36in sports, gymnastics, wrestling and judo.
00:57:39This means that my mood is getting serious.
00:57:42We are great.
00:57:45I like you.
00:57:48I think we are tourists now.
00:57:51I don't remember how we were divided into other teams,
00:57:54but I think 5 people is not enough for a team.
00:57:57The others are probably already at the arena,
00:58:00and we will arrive a little later.
00:58:17I expected to see a beach, a battle.
00:58:20I expected to turn around immediately
00:58:23and start my fighting actions.
00:58:26I am sure I will survive here.
00:58:29I am almost on the island of the doomed.
00:58:35I am alone.
00:58:38It reminds me of the time in the army,
00:58:41when they told me to survive alone.
00:58:51Hello, I am Dmitar Dobrinov,
00:58:54I am 31 years old, from the city of Pordiv.
00:58:57For 3 years I was in the elite part of the Bulgarian army,
00:59:00namely the 68th Special Forces Brigade.
00:59:03Since I was a child, I liked to simulate
00:59:06all kinds of military actions,
00:59:09to play a soldier, to play with guns,
00:59:12to simulate all kinds of fighting actions.
00:59:15I was probably influenced by my father,
00:59:18who was also a soldier.
00:59:21It turned out that entering the army,
00:59:24especially in the special units,
00:59:27was not easy at all,
00:59:30and I had to train for a year.
00:59:33Another year went by,
00:59:36but in the end I succeeded
00:59:39and from 100 candidates I entered
00:59:42the top positions with one of the best results.
00:59:45During the years of service in the army,
00:59:48I have performed various tasks,
00:59:51such as tactics in mountain conditions,
00:59:54entering buildings and neutralizing terrorists,
00:59:57going down from buildings with horses,
01:00:00going down from helicopters,
01:00:03jumping with a parachute in different locations.
01:00:06Despite the fact that all this was a simulation,
01:00:09the extremes we reached were very close to reality.
01:00:12We did not suddenly stay with them in the mountains
01:00:15to survive.
01:00:18We were constantly patrolled.
01:00:21If they found us, they would catch us
01:00:24and then they would beat us to death.
01:00:27There were soldiers who really held us back,
01:00:30our psyche held us back.
01:00:33Some of them were beaten,
01:00:36so the army is not for people with weak hearts.
01:00:39I was on a reconnaissance mission in Kosovo for 6 months.
01:00:43We had to monitor the groups of radical Islamists
01:00:46and monitor everything that happened to them,
01:00:49collect information and give it to the headquarters.
01:00:52It often happened to me, for example,
01:00:55to be parked in the car,
01:00:58my colleagues would go out and go somewhere else,
01:01:01and I would get in the dark car from behind
01:01:04with a large camera and monitor it
01:01:07for hours, minutes,
01:01:10record myself,
01:01:13it looked like a spy movie.
01:01:16The fear is huge, because you know
01:01:19that if you make a small mistake, you are out.
01:01:22There was definitely tension,
01:01:25but that did not threaten me.
01:01:28Even in some strange way it attracted me,
01:01:31but the problem was different.
01:01:34When you are a rank in the army,
01:01:37you are punished.
01:01:40I don't know if I have a painful sense of justice,
01:01:43whether I have an allergy to prayer,
01:01:46character, ego or pure madness,
01:01:49but I can't behave like a fool.
01:01:52It happened to save us
01:01:55a prayer at the command,
01:01:58for which I suffered a lot of punishments,
01:02:01from the lightest personnel,
01:02:04to the heaviest ones,
01:02:07like 10 km of running with full ammunition,
01:02:10often in hot 40 degrees,
01:02:13or in pouring rain.
01:02:16And so I stayed in the army for 3 years
01:02:19and left, because I couldn't stand
01:02:22someone commanding me.
01:02:29I gave up the army,
01:02:32now I have my own gym,
01:02:35where I am a coach of dynamic shooting.
01:02:38I ask a lot from my students
01:02:41to change into big league players
01:02:44and my task is to educate them.
01:02:47Each of their will is punished,
01:02:50not so harsh, only with personal support,
01:02:53for now.
01:02:56I believe that the army and sport
01:02:59is the most important thing,
01:03:02I value all qualities,
01:03:05such as strength, speed, accuracy and resilience.
01:03:08My tribe will create a team in the army,
01:03:11but it will be a team of women.
01:03:14It's easier for me to manipulate them,
01:03:17because I get under their skin very easily.
01:03:20I'm not afraid of battles,
01:03:23I just want to play the game at all levels.
01:03:26I'm ready for the battles,
01:03:29so I aimed at the target
01:03:32and all I have to do is press the trigger.
01:03:39I'm even ready to start.
01:03:42Let's not waste time.
01:03:57Hello, my name is Malvina Boneva,
01:04:00I'm 26 years old and I'm from Plovdiv.
01:04:03I work as a Chinese therapist,
01:04:06I help people who have suffered
01:04:09serious injuries and surgical interventions.
01:04:15My patients are mainly athletes.
01:04:18My job is hard,
01:04:21because I have people who are sick,
01:04:24who have fainted and lost hope.
01:04:29It's a nightmare to give up your whole life
01:04:32to the sport and one injury to stop you.
01:04:35Then my job is to help them
01:04:38to compete again, to train
01:04:41and to lead the life they loved before.
01:04:45There is no greater happiness
01:04:48than seeing someone get back on their feet
01:04:51and go back to the sport.
01:04:56I suffer and experience
01:04:59what my patients have suffered,
01:05:02because I can't live without the sport.
01:05:08I was a professional swimmer for 12 years
01:05:11when I won a number of international
01:05:14and republican titles.
