Shot-Gun Touch[]
The remaining top three competitors would compete in an event which involves competitors sprinting towards the end of the runway to touch a falling volleyball ten meters above. The volleyball must be released by pressing a button at the start of the runway, failure to do so signify a miss. A single failure results in elimination and the competitor with the most overall points would attempt first and the competitor who has successfully completed the furthest and/or earned the most points wins the event. 10 points would be awarded for every 10 centimeters cleared based on the benchmark distance presumably at 11 metres 20 centimeters. After each attempt, the distance each competitor would attempt relies on the competitor with the most overall points, enough to overtake said competitor in order to win the competition.
