I have to admit with the first question of the quiz I made the same mistake as Sanada in thinking the answer was Greece as the birthplace of the Olympics and felt a bit dumb when the answer was revealed as Olympia. Actually for this quiz segment if you have a good knowledge of the Olympics it's not too hard to guess what the questions are as they all come with a visual aid.
Unlike the previous two episodes there is an on location shoot with the boys, but before they get to that there's a classroom segment to talk about the high jump record. They bring up a jump bar in the classroom to the height of the record which everyone seems amazed at the thought someone could make it over something that high. Sanada does a little jump to see if he can reach it and then everyone has him jump again to see if how high he he can reach on it but the only thing he gets over it is one of his hands. And then it's back to the usual quiz segment.
The two doing the on location shoots for the Olympic episodes are Yamashita Shoon and Sanada Yuma. As I'm slowly getting to like Sanada more and more I had little problem with this pairing. Fujigaya and Shoon though are still my favorites though. But back to the episode. Shoon and Sanada are covering archery. Shoon does rather well for a beginner and Sanada on the other hand does rather lousy.
They go back then to the classroom where they talk about archery some more. Then it's a final quiz segment for the episode as they switch from archery to swimming and gymnastics. I have to wonder how serious Shoon was when he answered that the female gymnastic uniform type is called sexy. XD
They then do another classroom segment to talk about another world record. Takada guesses correctly which record will be discussed, weightlifting, after Shoon mimes it and guessed dumbbell. It's really cute to see how excited Takada was to have gotten the answer right. They then show the weight that was brought in to the studio that is set up to be the same weight as the world record (263kg). Keito stubbornly tries to get it to budge but with no success. Inohara then asks Shoon and Fujigaya to give it a go together and they have no better luck. And after that it's the end of the show.
Next episode will be the second episode covering the Olympics. And we get an end shot of Sanada trying to lift the weight himself and of course failing.
One thing that struck me in this episode was Keito's confidence that he could somehow move that weight. I think everyone who has followed Hey! Say! JUMP has noticed that he has some pretty pumped up looking arms for a 15 year old. So I can't help but think that this helps prove that he must do weight training of some form as he doesn't come off as someone who would volunteer to do something like that without some confidence that he can be successful. Of course this is all my speculation but I seriously would not be surprised if it were true.
