UK Gladiators - Series 7 1998 - Final

UK Gladiators - Series 7 1998 - Episode 15 - Final - 12th December 1998

Here are the 1998 Gladiator finalists!
Louise Raines (Bridal shop owner from Preston, Lancashire) versus Jane Smith (Full-time athlete and springboard diver from Sheffield, South Yorkshire)

Neil Parsley (Rugby league player from Wirral, Merseyside) versus Dave Walter (Fast food worker from Exeter, Devon)

Notes: Out of all the events, Duel appears for the first time since the quarter finals and it is in the final of Gladiators 1998 for its seventh appearance as a core event because it was replaced by Gauntlet in the semi-finals and has been played in six previous shows which were even numbered shows, heats 2, 4, 6, 8 and quarter finals 2 and 4.

Hang-Tough is in the final of Gladiators 1998 for its seventh appearance but was meant to be eighth because it was supposed to be played in four heats, especially either Heat 5 or 7 for its third or fourth appearance before or after Heat 6, but it is put on the fifth event because Duel is put on the fourth event, instead.

Final event appearances: Pendulum, Tightrope, and Vertigo.

Each of the events is played as a split event for all Gladiators and contenders for the final time: Vertigo for the women and Pendulum for the men since Heat 6, whilst Tightrope is played as a whole event for all men and women from the first event because Powerball is put on the second event, instead.

Prizes: The finalist contenders will share a grand prize of £4,000 in prize money by receiving one of two prizes; champions will each receive a four wheeled drive pickup truck. Runners-up will each receive a dream holiday at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

The contender with the fastest Eliminator time on the Eliminator will also receive an extra £1,000 bonus by breaking or holding the fastest Eliminator time with the existing record.

Absent: Cobra.
