How Hurricane Fiona affected Exatlón United States

One of the words Frederik used to define the season was ‘frustrating’, since Hurricane Fiona hit just as the season was beginning. «It destroyed everything… that is, at some point, I’m honest, I thought there was no possibility of making the season,» explained the presenter.

However, he declared that it is not his philosophy of life to give up, saying that he thought of staying and helping with the cleanup. He explained that it was «nice» to see how everyone helped. «A nail, a nut, a hammer, lifting, everything,» he explained how even the smallest contributions helped.

Just as he also mentioned the different athletic level of Caterine Ibargüen, a gold medal winner, and the privilege it was to have her in the program.

On the other hand, he said that Yamilet Peña is focused, Yoridan Martínez is a silent and calculating competitor, and Viviana Michel is an incredible human being who was able to overcome a pulmonary thrombosis that almost took her life.

Romance on the show

Oldenburg took this opportunity to talk about the romance on the show. Kelvin Rentería and Alondra González were both eliminated from the competition, however they didn’t leave empty-handed since the couple found love. The public speculated their romance was fake but Oldenburg gave his take.

«They kept it a secret, very well hidden,» he spoke of how the romance took him by surprise in the elimination. «It’s incredible how two people can have chemistry in a moment and the most beautiful thing is that it was here,» he explained, since it seemed amazing to him how the romance happened despite the fact that Rentería had been linked to Manelyk on La Casa de los Famosos.
