Wikipedia says that Lu Ting was no available for filming during the first leg.

Which is very generic, on show, they were quite specific to why ZhangJiKe wasn't present for the 1st leg. Expected more details in both fronts. The interesting part is that the Beijing Press Conference that served as official team reveal, which happened one day after Leg1 was filmed, only featured the official SNH team with LuTing, I think the fact that she didn't participate in Leg 1 was even mentioned at the event.
--- Quote from: G.B. on August 07, 2017, 03:19:40 PM ---Nevermind, Wikipedia has it now.
"One-night accommodation to Disney Explorers Lodge, and a one-year supply of Heiheiru drinks, with donations of supplies to the needy."
--- End quote ---
- The correct phrasing to the second part is "a one-year supply of Heiheiru drinks, WHICH can be donated to charity".
It not a a both situation, rather a "either or".
- The "a one-year supply of Heiheiru drinks, WHICH can be donated to charity" was also the (only) prize given at the end of Leg 2.

So, if anyone is interested, just let me know :)
It would go this way: you make transcript with translation from Chinese, and I do the timings and stuff (I have huge experience in subtitles, since I translate TAR and TARC to Serbian).
By the way, it's fine if nobody wants to help, but I am in!

Wow I sure would like that!
Maanca:
Leg 3 Stockholm is today. So what were the tasks on the Copenhagen leg? Still nobody has updated the Wikipedia. I assume the Reality Fan Wiki will have them - when it actually works during the late hours of the night :p
This is a common occurrence on the non-English-language seasons. Due to less editors understanding the language, of course.
Granth:
ARI#1 - Bicycle to the Court Theatre Museum, i.e. almost exactly like the start of the Scandinavia-to-Benelux superleg from S19 with the added challenges of pedaling as one teammate sits inside the tandem saddle as well as not being provided with a map and hence having to ask for directions.
RB#1 - Perform H.C. Andersen's "Ugly Duckling" to the standards of an endearing ballet conductor who could pass for the Nana/Great-Auntie of TARCAN2's legendary Meaghan Mikkelson (one of a handful of racers with Danish ancestry, the others being the saintly Jensen sisters Lena and Kristy as well as snowboarder-slaying hero Jeremy Cline a.k.a. Sandy Draghi's boyfriend-turned-husband).
Detour - Redux of S19's "All Hopped Out", now relocated from the boondocks to resplendent Rosenborg Castle right in heart of the city, or S25's "Wedding Cake", except without the delivery aspect and instead converted to "pipe-frost these layers to the satisfaction of the chefs" at La Glace, CPH's oldest-standing bakery.
RB#2 - Go to the Urban Ranger Camp (sic) on the outskirts, cross a tightrope-bridge with circular/separated planks, ring a bell designated by the national flag, and finally return to the starting point in the same manner as before, a classic fear-of-heights challenge.
ARI#2 - Return to the inner city and board the GoBoat in order to search the canals for six scrambled letters spelling the name of the Pit-Stop, N Y H A V N (literally "New Harbour") - without the need for gratuitous bathing suits, it is loosely like S26's hot-tub Rebus from that nation always being mistaken for Denmark.
Pit-Stop - Be greeted by an impersonator of H.C. Andersen in addition to Arisa Cox's "inspiration" for shoddy hosting.
NumfarPTB:
So leg 3 Stockholm, Sweden, is a exploration on the scandinavia from the past.
Funny that we have both TAR Canada and China airing the same week legs that featured Viking themed tasks, also legs featuring Face-Off.
Show contentAnd with that leg 4, which is a 2nd Stockholm leg is a exploration of the Scandinavia of today
Start of the Leg - Icebar Stockholm - Teams start one minute apart from each other, following the finishing order from the previous leg. They must retrieve their first clue which is frozen inside a block of ice using the provided tools. Every clue envelope from the this leg includes a piece of map, which is essential to reach the pit stop.
RI- Head to Sjatte Tunnan Restaurant to search for your next clue. -
Face-Off: "Big Viking Eater"
The teams must nominate one racer to eat and another to collect the food. The Face-Off is two fold.
First, both members of the teams that are competing in the face-off, have one minute to fill a plate with food and one HeiHeiru. After the plates are weighed against each other. The team with the heavier plate gets the right of challenge, meaning the "losing" team on the weight of the plate, must have the racer nominated to eat the lighter plate within 5 minutes to win the face-off. If the plate is not consumed in the time limit, the challenging team wins the face-off.
Amazed how very few teams figured the proper strategy for this challenge.
ARI - Plant a MidSummer Tree to receive your next clue.
Following the traditional model provided, decorate a MidSummer Tree appropriate for the celebration. Must be approved by the judge.
Speed Bump - Prepare 30 swedish meatballs
Detour
Viking Warrior or Viking Scholar
Viking Warrior teams must choose a piece of wood, work together to cut a slice to serve as their target and after that each member must hit the target with an Axe.
Viking Scholar teams must translate the phrase " There is no bad weather only bad clothing" into Nordic runes, using the translation board provided with the stones that are over the field.
- A classic Single Uturn board. Haven't seen you in ages.......
That's one of my favorite uses of this power, slowing down and trying to get rid of a strong team that just happens to be behind you.
- RB: "Who will join a skirmish?"
Choose an opponent, face each other on boats, and the goal is to make your opponent fall in the water, using the provided "weapon".
- RI - Assemble the provided map pieces and find the pit stop
PitStop - ?? Museum
Teams receive a horse, which is probably the item they are collecting for Raiders aspect of this season.
1st - Xiu Jie Kai & Alyssa Chia - Prize: One Year Supply of HeiHeiRu Products, which winners can choose to donate for Hope Primary School
2nd - Joseph Cheng & Wang Likun
3rd - FanBingBing & Evonne Hsieh
