The injuries seen in this series, on both sides of the game, are honestly a symptom of the fact the episodes were filmed back-to-back with limited opportunity to recouperate from any injuries sustained. Chung probably sustained a slight weakness in his kneecap in the quarters, but it didn't become a problem until the semi's.

If there are future series, I feel that some care should be taken to try and extend the production of the series so that injuries sustained in the heats don't cause withdrawals or substitutions during the crucial business end of the series when a champion is determined. Perhaps that could be achieved by splitting a series in two segments: the first segment being a number of heats early on in the year (maybe 10-12 heats?), then while those episodes are being aired, film the Quarters, Semis' and Final, so that nobody knows who has done the necessary until the episodes actually air.

This would mean that there are 10-12 winners in the heats, but only the top 8 fastest winners in the Eliminator actually qualify: however, the next 2-4 winners are the substitutes if required. I don't remember how the ITV original series handled the selection process of the quarter-finals though, was it just the Top 8 fastest winners or some other method of selection?

We saw Sabre in the Edge despite her hamstring injury in the previous one, but that was a very brief appearance and she wasn't used for any other games this time around. Overall though, I have enjoyed this series, and really hope that the BBC commission two more series, but I do feel the games need a bit more expansion to them, as Powerball and Gauntlet are too small in comparison to their OG versions.
