That hazard swing looks really interesting. The distances, specifically from the platform to the swing, will be what determines whether this is a hard obstacle or not.
Chains and Rings looks pretty cool. Wonder how close that first ring is to the platform, specifically whether you can reach out to grab it to get started, or whether you need to jump out to catch it (or mini-tramp out to catch it).
No info for obstacle #2. No rigging or anything that seems to give it away yet :-( Very curious!

I don't think there will be a mini-tramp to the Chain Rings just because it looks real easy to bash your face on one of those ring holding fixtures. Holding onto that chain is going to be much harder than people are anticipating.

Holding onto that chain is going to be much harder than people are anticipating. Yeah, good point. If you overshoot off the mini-tramp, grabbing and controlling that small single ring could be really tough, and offers a good opportunity to "bash your face in" on the fixed ring holders as you point out! The more I think about it, the more I think you can reach out to grab that first ring and then swing on it to grab the first chain.

Are we so sure the ring is the very start? Is it possible there's another chain before the first ring?

Don't forget to bring a towel! Are you referencing this guy? In all seriousness though, I wonder what the top time will be in both the qualifiers and the semis.

I honestly don't believe that to be the case. If nothing else it gives them a sneak peek at the future and also not complicate matter with those who aren't old enough to run anyway. NBC has a hard rule of 21 and over so something has to drastically change for them to go back on that. Think of this as cheap labor they don't have to pay while giving the younger crowd something to play with while they wait.
