Mixed martial artist Tai “Bang Bang” Tuivasa and his brother Logan have won The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition.
Racing to a pit stop at Bangkok’s historic Hua Lamphong Station, the brothers beat former AFL player Billy Brownless and his son Oscar in second place on the team, with Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley third.
Ty and Logan won $100,000 for their chosen charity, but during the final leg they performed a traditional Thai sword dance, prepared Thai street food, and ate local delicacies. I couldn’t get it.
The team took part in a puzzle test on the rooftop, where the brothers were able to race to the finish mat ahead of Brownless and his son.
“It was a little surreal and we kind of knew we were in first place, but you can never get too far ahead of yourself in this race, so it was really amazing,” Tai said.
Logan further added, “I haven’t been to a lot of soccer grand finals, so this was like a grand final for me.”
Host Beau Ryan toasted the victory with, well, the hissing words: “Australian delicacy.”
The first prize will go to the Sydney Regional Aboriginal Corporation, a community-managed not-for-profit organization with a mission to improve the health, social, emotional and economic well-being of Aboriginal people.
Mr Tye said: “It’s going to be great. (SRAC) does a lot of work with children in the Western Sydney area and they bring a lot of soccer equipment and items to Aboriginal communities and give them to them. I’m handing it out and playing soccer,” he said. day to day.
“I’m really excited to see where they’re at now and how far they can get in the community. That’s really important to me, so I’m really excited.”
