Trivia: Guess what I did on 21st of July
Hi everybody!
I have a tough one for you. The first person to guess precisely what I did on July 21 will win a prize. I want someone to get this prize, so I will daily add hints and photos so you can get closer to the truth. Any answers can be entered in comments to this post, or on Twitter, or on Facebook. On the photo above I am in front of the building where the “activity” took place. You can ask hint questions in the comments and I will answer to help you get closer to the answer (without giving it all out at once). Good luck! See below for hint photo(s)

If you want a nice surprise...
you performed in a circus?
Parallel bars???
That’s a big place. I bet for Disneyland, Paris, even if it’s only 32 kmts far from the city.
A Disney Channel Show!
It looks like an obstacle course.
were you riding a mechanical bull?
Were you on the show “Zhestokiye Igry” (Wipeout)
Hi James,
Excellent suggestion, but not that one, sorry!

Maybe the challenge was to flare up an olympic torch in a relay race, or making a human pyramid.
Bottom left: you’re outside the studio giving… press declarations? No. You’re giving instructions to your partners! They’re probably blind or lost inside.
Center: You won! Congratulations.
Top right: You’re eventually outside the ground? A labyrinth, perhaps?
I have searched google for clues to this but I can’t seem to find anything.
Wow. Representing Russia on a “Superstars” athletic competition, made for TV!
Go girl! Show ‘em chess as sport.
You’re all almost there. Yes it’s a TV team competition. Yes, Russia won (in the episode I was in). Yes there were superstars participating.
Was the show called ‘Superteams’ or ‘Superstars’?
A pity nobody guessed, I’ll keep the prize for next trivia competition.
So here’s the answer: I was taking part in the TV show “Intervilles” (International), the Russian name of the show is “Большие Гонки”. It’s a TV game show that started in 1962 (mostly in France), and quite well-known.
The city in which the filming took place was La Ferté-Alais, see

As for the actual episode where I participated (and my team Russia won!!), it will come out sometime in the season 2010-2011, if I get a copy I will post it!
Thanks to all for participating and best wishes!

I knew it had a bull in it, Oh well congratulations on the win. Looks like fun.
[...] of me on TV, it was the TV game show I did the shooting for in Paris this summer (I also did a trivia competition about it). I just got the DVD of the show and have posted it on my second YouTube channel [...]
