Gladiators: Australia vs Russia

Gladiators: Australia vs Russia was the first and only Gladiators Challenge series between Australia and Russia. The filming took place, late in 1995, at the conclusion of the third Australian series, but predominantly featured contestants from the second Australian series.
The series was a team event, in which two challengers from each country competed together, changing which contestant competes in each event. There was only one team of Russian challengers, who competed in both heats.
Joe Lukowski broke the record on Hit & Run scoring 16 points. The previous record was 14 points, which he achieved in Australian series 2.
The series was aired in Australia in 1996 and was a tie with the Australian women and the Russian men winning respectively.
