'The Titan Games' Season 2 Championships: Noah suffers heartbreaking loss, fans salute his 'unbeatable' spirit
Sometimes the word inspiring doesn't quite cut it, especially for us 'The Titan Games' fans. It was the Championships and our regional Titans were ready to battle it out with everything they had to become the Titan champion. Noah Palicia, Matt Chan and Will Sutton had a three-way face-off at 'Hammer Down', where Matt exhibited his power and strength again. He made it to the victory chain breezily, with Noah just a few seconds behind him. However at 'Herculean Pull', Noah suffered a heartbreaking defeat as Will Sutton finished the challenge in 19 seconds.
Fans were singing praises for Will Sutton while others are rather disappointed with Noah's loss. "Whaaaaaaat?!?!? @coachdubsutton ALREADY beat the Herculean Pull?!? I was... not expecting that... but Iβm super happy and excited! #TitanGames," a fan wrote.

Meanwhile others had written 'Damnit Noah' and that they were rooting for him. Noah had been unbeatable for weeks at Mount Olympus, earning him glowing praise from fans.
In an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide, Noah Palicia had opened up about his journey and what motivated him to join the show. "After winning the DoD Alpha Warrior championship (itβs like a mix between CrossFit and Ninja Warrior), my wife decided that she was tired of watching people compete on TV shows knowing that her husband would do well. She posted a message on 'The Titan Games' Instagram pushing for the show to feature the Palicia Brothers. They did! As for myself, I just love the feel of competition. It brings out the best in me and this show was an incredible opportunity to not only compete against some fantastic athletes but also show the world what a person of my size and stature is capable of performing on a level demanded by this show," he said.
Meanwhile, the women were on fire. Courtney Roselle, Dani Speegle and Margaux Alvarez met at 'Hammer Down' as well, with Dani racing towards the victory chain, just a few seconds before Margaux. Margaux and Courtney displayed enormous amount of strength, and Margaux won. However, she was defeated at Mt Olympus by Dani.
'The Titan Games' airs on NBC on Mondays at 8 pm.
