With the Central and West Regions done, that just leaves the East! The Titan Games moved into the last leg of its competition before the championships. In this region, UFC Champion Tyron Woodley and Olympic Gold Medalist Snowboarder Hannah Teter were the elite Titans.
But, that status didn’t last long. A country-loving, mullet-rocking school teacher and a US Army Registered Nurse had something to say about it. After five fierce games, they dominated in their first trips up Mount Olympus.
Here’s how it all went down!
