Tim Mälzer Injured During 'Drei Gegen Einen' Football Challenge

On-site medics plus a joker substitute kept the competition on track under RTL's temporary trio with Jan Köppen.

Overview

  • Tim Mälzer went down with a thigh injury while pushing a weighted sled in an American football task against national player Heiko Bals.
  • He received immediate treatment from show medics and later described the pain as feeling like a 'Pferdekuss' that hurt with every load.
  • Sabrina 'Mocki' Mockenhaupt stepped in as the joker for subsequent challenges, including Segway polo, during Mälzer’s recovery pause.
  • Mälzer returned to the studio and took part in a later karting challenge despite visible discomfort.
  • The episode aired on October 4 on RTL after early availability on RTL+, with the current trio featuring Mälzer, Jens 'Knossi' Knossalla and Jan Köppen, who is temporarily replacing Elton for episodes 5 and 6.
