Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf and their teams again fought a “duel around the world”. In the end, Joko came out on top.
A new edition of the popular game show “The duel around the world – Team Joko versus Team Klaas” took place on Monday evening. Joko Winterscheidt (43) and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (39) once again let their prominent teams compete against each other in order to win a country point in the fight for the world champion title on adventurous trips.
Icebreaker adventures in Sweden
Entertainer Verona Pooth (54) traveled to Sweden for Team Klaas to open an ice cream shop on the ice. She was visited by an icebreaker, who approached her directly and bypassed the ice booth. But Pooth was able to save the ice cream, serve it and thus get the country point for Klaas. Ski jumping legend Sven Hannawald (48), on the other hand, had to take part in one of the most dangerous bike races in the world for Team Joko in France, which he successfully mastered.
Also present in the Christmas edition of “Das Duell um die Welt” were the moderator twins Dennis and Benni Wolter, who traveled to Scotland for Joko for a successful piercing challenge, and author Sophie Passmann (28), who worked in Mexico for Klaas attended a hallucinogenic peyote ceremony and earned the country point. After the celebrity challenges, the studio games of the two moderators decided on the world champion title, which Joko Winterscheidt took home in the end.
“Joko is and remains world champion. If he could have saved himself from taking the trophy to the studio. Congratulations anyway!” Joko’s victory was on the official “Joko & Klaas” Instagram account in a post commented.
