2010 Best Sapper Competition. Now 291/2 hours into this 52-hour event the teams are gearing up for Sapper Stakes. The two-man teams go up against seven challenges and navigate more than nine- before nightfall. Similar to yesterdays round robin phase, teams need to work together if they want to get ahead in the points.

Today's challenges will push the teams in events like mountaineering, expedient demolition and breeching Military Operations in Urban Terrain sites, otherwise known as MOUT sites.
